A method for treating a domestic supply water circuit, that comprises injecting a treatment product comprising silicates into the water flowing in said circuit in order to form a film on the inner surfaces of said circuit, characterised in that the injection of the treatment product comprises at least one step of injecting silicates at a concentration of between 100 and 200,000 milligrams per litre (mg/L) into the water flowing in said circuit for a period of between 10 minutes (min) and 24 hours (h), the flow rate of water flowing in the circuit being controlled within a range of between 0.05 and 100 litres per minute (L/min) and the temperature of water flowing in the circuit being controlled within a range of between 40 and 65 C.

The present disclosure describes a system and method of depositing ceramic or ceramic composite coatings on the inside surface area of a tubular shape. The system and method described herein can provide an interior coating for tubes and pipes to provide wear resistance, abrasion resistance, and anti-scaling effects.

A method of lining a pipe with a lining mixture formed from a dry component and a liquid is discussed. The method includes placing the dry component in a dry component surface container located above ground, conveying the dry component from the dry component surface container to a dry component subterranean supply container located underground, conveying the dry component from the dry component subterranean supply container to a mixer located underground, mixing the dry component with the liquid to form the lining mixture, and applying the lining mixture to the pipe with a mixture applicator.

A method of automated pipeline chemical batch treatment includes receiving treatment information at a control system of a pipeline. If the treatment information includes an instruction to activate a pump system, the method includes transmitting an activation signal from the control system to the pump system in accordance with the treatment information. The activation signal causes the pump system to pump one or more chemicals from a chemical feed system into the pipeline. If the treatment information includes an instruction to deactivate the pump system, the method includes transmitting a deactivation signal from the control system to the pump system in accordance with the treatment information, wherein the deactivation signal causes the pump system to stop pumping one or more chemicals from the chemical feed system into the pipeline.

A surface treatment includes a functional component and a linking component, wherein the linking component is capable of hydrogen bonding and/or covalently linking with the functional component and is capable of hydrogen bonding and/or covalently linking with the surface to form a treated surface. The surface treatment provides a beneficial property to the surface when the surface treatment is bonded to the surface.

Disclosed is the treatment of the interior walls of a fluidic channel with a self-assembled monolayer of an organophosphorus acid.

A device for coating a cylinder includes a coating head capable of being inserted into the cylinder, a plurality of coating guns which are provided on the coating head and are configured to discharge a coating material in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the coating head, and a rotating cover which, when the coating material is discharged from one of a first coating gun and a second coating gun among the plurality of coating guns, is configured to cover the other of the first coating gun and the second coating gun, in which the plurality of coating guns are connected to coating material supply devices of different systems, respectively.

A vertical internal coating machine is taught, which may be used with bodies such as cans (2 piece, 3 piece, draw, redraw,) and including cylinders, containers and any similar body. In the machine cans or similar bodies are vertical in the machine's star wheel rather than horizontal, and the bodies are sprayed with the star wheel in continuous motion without stopping and starting. The machine teaches that a plurality of spray guns may be provided for each pocket of the star wheel. By means of the machine an improved line layout is devised which may eliminate the need to raise the bodies immediately prior to a necker by allowing the vertical can internal coating machine and internal bake over to be disposed on any level of the facility, upper, lower, mezzanine, etc. In green aspects, the machine may use negative pressure cabinets/hoods and positive pressure tunnels to entrain volatile organic chemicals emitted by the spray guns and coated bodies and may send these VOCs to a VOC desctruction device, such as an oven.

Methods and systems for converting inactive chemicals into active chemicals in-situ for treating oil and gas pipelines, other industrial systems, or sanitizing surfaces. Also, methods of treating an oil and gas pipeline including feeding an inactive additive through a first conduit and into a second conduit, the second conduit is in fluid communication with the first conduit and the oil and gas pipeline. The inactive additive is converted into an active additive within the second conduit and introduced into the oil and gas pipeline.

The invention relates to the use of coatings of nanoscale SiO.sub.2 particles in water-carrying cooling systems to prevent abrasive corrosion and depositions as well as to a method for the production of such a coating.
