GRE pipe as a Caisson
GRE pipe as a Caisson
(OP)
I want to use GRE pipe as replacement for existing 30" CS caisson for offshore application.Is GRE pipe can be used if there is an issue of scaling?

RE: GRE pipe as a Caisson
My initial thought would be to use steel, but with a better coating, assuming that a CS strength was initially selected with some thought toward actual material strength requirements.

Actually the purpose of replacing the open drain CS caisson is to avoid corrosion issue(less maintenance).I did some study and there is no issue on the strength and what not since it can withstand up to 34 bar.This application is only at atmospheric pressure.

The caisson application is to contain oily water before discharge to the sea.its part of the produce water treatment. Its not like something on the link.

Is there any impact on the GRE during descaling?and how is it easier for removal?
