Patent ID: 8871306

Claim:
A method for providing corrosion and fire-resistant protection for a structural component, the structural component comprising a structural layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the method comprising applying to the first surface a material selected from the group consisting of ceramics, amorphous metals, and combinations thereof, forming a corrosion resistant layer for contact with the corrosive petroleum products; applying to the second surface a sufficient amount of fire resistive material having a thermal conductivity of less than 0.4 W/m.° C. for a fire resistive coating layer with a sufficient thickness for the structural component to meet level II fire endurance standard according to IMO A 18/Res.753 fire testing protocol, wherein the structural component is selected from the group consisting of a process vessel, a transfer line, a process pipe, a heat exchanger, a cyclone, or a column for containing corrosive petroleum products.
