E ʻōlelo aloha i ka "ʻaʻahu a me ka waimaka" o nā pipelines: no ke aha e hiki ai i nā pipelines pale-ʻaʻahu silicon carbide ke lilo i "mōʻī paʻa" o ka halihali ʻoihana?

I ka hana ʻoihana, ua like nā paipu me nā "kīʻaha koko" e lawe mau ana 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 he mau ʻano o ka paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe a me ka wikiwiki o ke kahe ʻana. E pau koke ana nā paipu maʻamau me nā leaka, ʻaʻole wale nō e pono ai ke pani pinepine a me ka hoʻololi ʻana, akā hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ka palekana ma muli o ka leakage o nā mea. ʻO ka puka ʻana mai o nā paipu pale ʻaʻahu silicon carbide ʻo ia ke hoʻoponopono i ka "pilikia ʻaʻahu".
E nīnau paha kekahi poʻe, he aha ke ʻano o ka mea "silicon carbide"? ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia he mea hou. ʻO ke kumu, he mea metala ʻole inorganic ia i haku ʻia me nā mea silicon a me ke kalapona, me ka paʻakikī ʻelua wale nō i ka daimana a me ka corundum. Hoʻohana ka nui o nā pepa one kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea wili i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā i ka silicon carbide. Ke hana ʻia kēia mea paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe i loko o ka paia o loko o kahi pipeline, ua like ia me ke kau ʻana i kahi papa o "pale kila daimana" ma ka pipeline. Ke kū nei i nā mea ʻaʻahu kiʻekiʻe, hiki iā ia ke kū pololei i ka hopena a me ka friction o nā mea, e hoʻolōʻihi ana i ke ola lawelawe o ka pipeline.

Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā paipu kuʻuna, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā paipu pale ʻaʻahu silicon carbide ma mua o ke "pale ʻaʻahu". Hiki ke pala maʻalahi nā paipu kila maʻamau i nā mea ʻino i ka wā o ka lawe ʻana, a he paʻakikī nā paipu palaki ke kū i nā mahana a me nā kaomi kiʻekiʻe. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i nā mea silicon carbide nā ʻano o ke kūʻē ʻana i ka waikawa a me ka alkali a me ke kūʻē ʻana i ka mahana kiʻekiʻe. Inā paha e lawe ana i ka slurry acidic a i ʻole ka pauka lanahu wela kiʻekiʻe, hiki iā lākou ke hana paʻa me ka ʻole o ka hopohopo pinepine e pili ana i ka "corrosion perforation" a i ʻole "deformation wela kiʻekiʻe". ʻOi aku ka mea nui, he laumania kona paia o loko, e emi ai ka maʻalahi o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana a me ka ālai ʻana i ka wā o ka lawe ʻana i nā mea, e hōʻemi ana i ka pilikia o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā paipu a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka hana.
I kēia mau lā, ma nā ʻoihana e like me ke kālai ʻana, ka uila, a me ke ʻenekinia kemika e koi ana i ke kūpaʻa kiʻekiʻe loa no nā pipelines, ua pani mālie nā pipelines pale ʻaʻahu silicon carbide i nā pipelines kuʻuna. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻololi ʻia i kēlā me kēia ʻeono mahina e like me nā pipelines maʻamau, ʻaʻole hoʻi e koi i nā kumukūʻai mālama hou. ʻOiai ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe iki ka hoʻopukapuka mua ʻana, kōkua maoli ia i ka ʻoihana e mālama i ka nui o nā lilo i ka wā lōʻihi. No nā ʻoihana e alualu ana i ka hana kūpono a paʻa, ʻo ke koho ʻana i nā paipu pale ʻaʻahu silicon carbide ke koho ʻana i kahi hopena halihali "hopohopo iki, lōʻihi".
Me ka piʻi ʻana o ke koi no ka paʻa o nā lako a me ka palekana i ka hana ʻoihana, ke hoʻonui mau nei nā hiʻohiʻona noi o nā paipu pale ʻaʻahu silicon carbide. Hoʻoponopono ia i ka pilikia "kahiko a paʻakikī" i ka halihali 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.
