Method and apparatus for lining pipes with isocyanate and hydroxyl-amine resin based on castrol or soy oil
A method and apparatus is disclosed for remotely installing in a conduit a monolithic liner comprised of an amine terminated resin and a hydroxyl resin combined with isocyanate. The hydroxyl resin may include caster oil or soy based oil. The liner mixture may include anti-static agents such as quaternary ammonium ethosulfates, ethoxylated amines or glycerol esters. The apparatus includes a main component body including an umbilical comprising hoses for lining and air components and electrical power and signals, an impingement block for mixing the liner and remotely controlled by a termination rod. The device may reciprocate forward and reverse in the pipe and the laterally. The method and apparatus can structurally reinforce the pipe to allow operation at the pipe's original maximum allowable operating pressure.
1. A remotely operated spray lining device for lining the inside of a pipe comprising:
a) umbilical hose attachments for two or more umbilical hoses;
b) air supply hose attachment or electrical power attachment;
c) a heater;
d) an impingement block;
e) a liner mixture of an amine-terminated polyol, a high functional hydroxyl resin based upon castor oil or soy based oil and isocyanate resin;
f) a remotely operated termination rod controlling a flow of the liner mixture from the impingement block; and
g) a dispersion component that sprays the liner up to 360° circumference onto the pipe wall.
2. The device of claim 1 further comprising the liner mixture including an anti static agent.
3. The device of claim 2 wherein the anti static agent is quaternary ammonium ethosulfates, ethoxylated amines or glycerol esters.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein the dispersion component comprises at least one rotating nozzle wherein the angle of the nozzle to the pipe wall can be remotely adjusted.
5. The device of claim 4 further comprising the nozzle moving in a forward and back motion in relation to the device.
6. The device of claim 4 further comprising the nozzle moving in a lateral motion in relation to the device.
7. The device of claim 1 further comprising the dispersion component comprising two nonreciprocal inversely mounted rotating cones.
