SMARTFLEX INSTALLED IN ETHIOPIA

The SMARTFLEX system was successfully installed in a new filling station in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one the fastest moving economies in East Africa. Traditionally, the African Oil & Gas industry have used galvanised steel pipes (GSP), however, its tendency to have a short operational life due to leaks, corrosion and its lack of flexibility, has moved the Oil & Gas Industry towards the use of the Smartflex HDPE multi-layer piping systems in new and retrofit projects. SMARTFLEX is a complete multilayer piping system for the transfer of automotive and aviation fuels, biofuels and hazardous fluids. Thanks to an ongoing research and development programme and in conjunction with the major oil companies, the SMARTFLEX piping system has become the leading design system on the market today. The electrofusion welding system typical of the SMARTFLEX system allows for greater protection and leak-tightness. The welding process is carried out at minimum voltages in compliance with accident prevention standards. The use of barcodes that contain important information about the products allows for initial checks and records as well as for monitoring during the product lifetime ensuring complete traceability and a higher degree of reliability.
