It’s your responsibility to keep your plant running at peak efficiency. Downtime isn’t an option. But currently all you can do is just wait for your biggest productivity culprit – leaks – to strike.

But there is an alternative solution – a way to approach leak repair before it reaches the mission critical stage. Furmanite’s Leak Management Solution enables you to take a proactive approach to maintaining plant performance. By focusing on maintaining plant and pipeline integrity, Furmanite cuts your leak repair costs considerably. Downtime becomes a thing of the past.

An Ounce of Prevention…

Furmanite’s Leak Management capabilities go beyond just sealing leaks. We are able to take preventive measures to address weaknesses and repair leaks early and on-line so that they do not become a serious problem. Through scheduled maintenance and a comprehensive approach – addressing every aspect of pipe and joint integrity – Furmanite proactively identifies areas of weakness so they are repaired early on.

Working hand-in-hand with your plant personnel, Furmanite’s on-site team reviews your piping system. The team identifies and documents risk areas, sites of previous repairs and potential leak zones. The data is then used to create a comprehensive Leak Management Plan that allows you to manage your plant’s performance by managing your operational costs. Any plan created or action taken by Furmanite will conform to all nation-specific or international quality standards.

Nobody Knows Sealants Like Furmanite

Since 1922, the year Clay Furman introduced the first pipeline leak sealant to the world, Furmanite has maintained its leadership role in the research and development of leak sealing compounds and techniques. Furmanite is the single most authoritative source for sealing your leaks and preventing new ones.

There are two major compound groups that Furmanite utilizes and formulates to suit a wide array of applications – thermosetting and re-injectable. These two techniques can be used to seal on-line leaks by forming a molded gasket around a vessel at temperatures ranging from sub-zero to 1112°F (600°C) and at pressures up to 5,076 psi (350 bar g).

Furmanite can solve virtually any on-line leak problem, including:

• Holes in pipes and valves

• Cracked welds

• Packing glands

• Flange leaks

• Valve bonnets

• Threaded fittings

• Exchanger leaks

• Pressure seal valves

For some clients, preventative maintenance just isn’t fiscally feasible – until now. FurmaWrap-FW2 is truly the next-generation of preventative maintenance for your concrete structures and pipelines.

It is resistant to a wide range of dangerous chemicals; works well in either wet or dry conditions, including underwater repairs; is able to conform to bends or curves; and is classified according to ANSI/NSF 61 standards for drinking water safety.

With a typical application taking only 20-30 minutes and a cure time of one hour (at temperatures between 50°-80°/F10°-27°C), it’s easy to see how utilizing FurmaWrap-FW2 either to enhance structural integrity or in an emergency situation, can save you time and money on a regular basis.
