PTFE hose in the Oil and Gas Industry

The oil and gas industry has been one of the most important industries in the world thus far — producing fuel for cars, energy to keep our world well-lit at night, and even for gas for us to cook. The world’s top oil producers are the US, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, which have an abundance of natural fuel found mainly under the Earth’s surface. The process of refining and extracting oil and gas is a rigorous one, and high quality piping systems should be used to ensure the highest level of purity and quality.

Hence, PTFE hose are one of the best choices to not only improve the quality of hose systems, but also increase the cost efficiency of the petrochemical plant. Additionally, the use of PTFE hose in the petrochemical industry has been rising as it is a great corrosion resistant pipe. Not convinced? Here are a few reasons why:

1. Chemically Inert

PTFE is a chemically inert material, and it does not react with chemicals. This makes it a perfect material to line pipes with, preventing corrosion in the piping system. By combining the physical strength of steel and with the chemically inert nature of PTFE, it creates a permanent solution to corrosion. In the petrochemical industry, many derivatives of petrochemicals can be manufactured from petroleum, such as plastics, rubbers, pesticides, detergents and more. Some corrosive and toxic additives are used in these processes, hence PTFE hose are the perfect medium to convey these chemicals.

2. Able to withstand high temperatures

There are a few process in the oil and gas industry that requires high temperatures, and PTFE hose can withstand just that! One thing to note is depending on the chemical, the highest temperature PTFE hose should go through is 260°C.

3. Perfect for high purity applications

PTFE are FDA approved material as it has a low friction coefficient and does not retain smell. Hence, PTFE hose is perfect for high purity applications to ensure the derivatives produced are of the highest quality with no contamination.

4. Cost Effective

PTFE hose might be a more expensive than regular pipes initially, but a high quality PTFE hose is actually more cost effective in the long run. By reducing the frequency of downtimes due to corrosion and system maintenance, the efficiency of the petrochemical plant can be improved. It is also more environmentally friendly as less waste is created.
