The Challenge
Indupalma is a company that produces palm oil and its derivatives. One of the most common uses of palm oil is for the production of biodiesel. Initially, Indupalma used asbestos pipes for transporting biodiesel, which were later replaced by CPCV SCH 80 pipes. Neither of these materials was resistant to abrasion and the high temperatures of the fluid. Moreover, due to the jungle terrain (where there are constant rains and landslides), these pipes often broke completely due to the movement of rocks and trees. This situation caused losses for the company, not only due to production stoppages and the constant need to replace the pipes, but also because of spills that had environmental consequences.
The Solution
After witnessing the poor performance of these pipe materials, Indupalma decided to look for a new pipe material that could withstand impact, chemical resistance, and high temperatures to transport the fluid. They ultimately chose Pexgol pipes, which met all these requirements.
