E ʻōlelo maikaʻi i ka "ʻaʻahu a me ka waimaka" o nā pipeline: no ke aha e hiki ai i nā pipeline paʻa ke kapa silicon carbide ke lilo i "moʻi lōʻihi" o ka halihali ʻoihana?

I ka hana ʻoihana, ua like nā paipu me nā "moku koko" e hoʻomau mau ana i ka lawe ʻana i nā mea e like me ka slurry ore, ka pauka lanahu, a me nā koena ʻōpala. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hapa nui o kēia mau mea i loaʻa i nā ʻano o ka paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe a me ka holo wikiwiki. E pau koke nā paipu maʻamau me nā leaks, ʻaʻole wale e koi i ka pani pinepine ʻana a me ka hoʻololi ʻana, akā hiki ke kau i nā pōʻino palekana ma muli o ka leakage waiwai. ʻO ka puka ʻana mai o nā pipeline paʻa paʻa silicon carbide e hoʻoponopono pono i ka "pilikia lole".
E nīnau paha kekahi poʻe, he aha ke ʻano o ka "silicon carbide"? ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia he mea hou. ʻO ka mea nui, he ʻano mea ʻole metala ʻole i haku ʻia me nā mea silika a me nā mea kalapona, me ka lua o ka paʻakikī i ke daimana a me ka corundum. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā pepa one kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea wili i hoʻohana mau ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā i ka carbide silika. Ke hana ʻia kēia mea paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe i loko o ka paia o loko o kahi paipu, ua like ia me ke kau ʻana i kahi papa o "diamond armor" ma ka pipeline. Ke kū nei i nā mea ʻaʻahu kiʻekiʻe, hiki iā ia ke pale pololei i ka hopena a me ka friction o nā mea, hoʻonui nui i ke ola lawelawe o ka pipeline.

Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā pipeline kuʻuna, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā pipeline pale lole silicon carbide ma mua o ka "pale pale". ʻO nā paipu kila maʻamau ka maʻalahi i nā mea corrosive i ka wā o ka lawe ʻana, a paʻakikī nā paipu plastik ke kū i nā wela kiʻekiʻe a me nā kaomi. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i nā mea silicon carbide nā hiʻohiʻona o ka waika a me ke kūpaʻa alkali a me ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka lawe ʻana i ka slurry acidic a i ʻole ka pauka lanahu kiʻekiʻe, hiki iā lākou ke hana paʻa me ka hopohopo pinepine ʻole e pili ana i ka "corrosion perforation" a i ʻole "deformation kiʻekiʻe-mehana". ʻO ka mea nui aʻe, ua maʻalahi kona pā i loko, e hōʻemi ana i ka hōʻiliʻili a me ka blockage i ka wā o ka lawe ʻana i nā mea waiwai, e hōʻemi ana i ka pilikia o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā pipeline a me ka hōʻoia i ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka hana.
I kēia mau lā, i loko o nā ʻoihana e like me ka mining, ka uila, a me ka ʻenekinia kemika e koi ana i ke kūpaʻa kiʻekiʻe loa no nā pipelines, ua hoʻololi mālie nā pipeline kūpaʻa silicon carbide i nā pipeline kuʻuna. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻololi ʻia i kēlā me kēia ʻeono mahina e like me nā pipeline maʻamau, ʻaʻole hoʻi e koi i nā kumukūʻai mālama mau. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻopukapuka mua, kōkua maoli ia i ka ʻoihana e mālama i ka nui o nā lilo i ka wā lōʻihi. No nā ʻoihana e ʻimi nei i ka hana kūpono a paʻa, ʻo ke koho ʻana i nā paipu pale pale silicon carbide ke koho maoli nei i kahi hoʻonā kaʻa "hoʻemi liʻiliʻi, lōʻihi".
Me ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka noi no ka paʻa ʻana o nā mea hana a me ka palekana i ka hana ʻoihana, ke hoʻonui mau nei nā hiʻohiʻona noiʻi o nā pipelines-resistant pipelines silicon carbide. Hoʻoponopono ia i ka pilikia "kahiko a paʻakikī" i ka lawe ʻana i ka ʻoihana me ka hana paʻakikī o ka mea ponoʻī, a hāʻawi pū i nā ʻoihana hou aku i kahi koho hilinaʻi ma ke ala e hōʻemi ai i ke kumukūʻai a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka pono.
