Maintenance of Fiberglass Rainforced Plastic and Three Layer Polyethylene Pipes

Saiful Arif, Fipka Bisono

Abstract


This paper examines the critical role of piping systems in the transportation of fluids, gases, and slurries across various industrial applications, with a focus on the transition from Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pipes to Carbon Steel pipes coated with 3 Layer Polyethylene (3LPE) for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution at the Integrated Terminal PT Pertamina Perak in Surabaya. The study highlights the construction of a direction keet, which serves as a temporary operational hub for project materials, enhancing organizational efficiency and safety compliance in high-risk environments. The research emphasizes the importance of routine maintenance and inspections in ensuring the reliability and safety of gas distribution systems, identifying the vulnerabilities of FRP pipes, including susceptibility to vibrations and subsequent leaks. In contrast, Carbon Steel 3LPE pipes exhibit superior mechanical properties, including enhanced resistance to vibrations, impacts, and corrosion, which contribute to their longevity and reliability. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) procedures confirmed the integrity of the welded joints, ensuring compliance with safety standards. The findings underscore the necessity of thorough material selection and adherence to health and safety regulations, providing a valuable reference for future projects aimed at improving safety and efficiency in energy distribution systems. Ultimately, this research offers evidence-based recommendations for optimizing material choice in pipeline construction and management, reinforcing the strategic importance of effective project management in the energy sector.
