[papercreters] Re: Its Alive

Good morning everyone To Bobs Questions,1 we mesured out 7 gal and
put it in the press,as it seems to compress about30%.#2 we let it
soak for about 2 hrs with a quick stir every hour to male sure the
portland saturates all the paper fiber.#3 i would have to re count
but over 50 3/16 holes #4 pipe insulation getting wet,All high
pressure sour gas (H2s)have a heat shrink membrain around them same
idea as electial heat shrink tubes but split and in sheets for larger
pipe.We will wrap it with it and use a electric industrial heat gun
and its good to go.This is the bigest problem up here with the
piplines other than the idiots shooting at them,there are thousands
of these risers all over Alberta and B.C.that have this problem so
this might be the solution.I will go and open our company this week
(Renagade Pipline Protection Systems ltd.)We have to do a mix today
its -22c out ,have the mixer inside will fill it up and make a trip
around outside and right back inside will use hot water shouldnt
freeze that quick then. We have made forms out of old clean 45 gal
drums cut in half ,weleded 3 in angle iron on sides and will
incorperate a stacking system into them 3 high.Will post some pics
tonight. Hope this helps Bob
