Automatic Coating Secures Green Technology Rights from Pipe Viper International

Automatic Coating announced that it has secured global rights for a patent pending green technology from Pipe Viper International. Automatic Coating is a world wide recognized leader in the powder and liquid coating industry in North America.

PipeViper is capable of removing any coating on depressurized or live oil and gas pipelines cost-effectively. This portable coating removal system effectively addresses all health and safety as well as environmental concerns while removing coating from the pipelines. In addition to removing all coating, this process, for which patent is pending, also cleans the surface of the pipeline for better inspection. The wastes that are generated while removing the coating are securely bagged by the system, which meets or exceeds the local environmental standards.

Brad Bamford, President of Automatic Coating Limited, said that this innovative technology will allow the company to provide pipe rehabilitation for the gas and oil industry in an environmentally friendly way. Brad Bamford stated that by using this technology the company will be able to deliver blasting and coating solutions that conform to an environmental standard that was not attainable previously.
