Rig Stacking/Mothballing
PROBLEM
The practice of closing facilities over a long time or storing equipment and tools that are still in working order is called mothballing. Equipment and facilities that are not used often may be sub- ject to mothballing. During mothballing, systems are put in hibernation and momentarily shut down. Various Zerust® Products are used in combination for Mothballing and Long Term Protection and Maintenance of spares and redundant machinery to ensure they are in a prime state and ready for operation whenever they are needed. Zerust ICT® 520-XF Film is an innovative corrosion inhibiting material, that is twice as strong as any standard polyethylene material of the same thickness. Zerust ICT® 520-XF Film is also lightweight, tear resistant and impermeable to water.
BENEFITS
- Fast-acting corrosion protection
- Easy-to-use, with no need for additional mechanical fogging equipment
- Quick/simple installation and removal with minimal training
- Inexpensive solution for aggressive environments
- Highly effective and unique

PROBLEM
- Offshore platforms/rigs are “stacked” when taken out of operation; they may remain out of operation for several months or years. During this time the various structures on board and prone to sever corrosion and need to be protected.
- Zerust’s unique AutoFog VCI sachets are placed in a 3-Dimensional grid pattern within the structures and sealed. The VCIs diffuse from the sachets and mitigate corrosion.
- Zerion FVS sleeves are placed at the bottom to neutralize any accumulated water.
