Merlin Heat & Coat Field Joint System

Radyne Merlin technology delivers the most efficient means of heating and coating field joints by carrying out both operations simultaneously. Able to meet reduced cycle time demands in offshore operations, a typical Merlin heat and coat system delivers the following benefits:-

•    Integrated induction coils in an easy open/close
     (clam-shell) design

•    Fully automated precision control and application of a
     two-coat FBE and co-polymer coating requiring minimal
     manning levels

•    Multiple coating heads providing a faster, more even coating

•    Vertical and Horizontal operational capability

In recent years Merlin systems have proven themselves in the frontline of offshore operations on both the Blue Stream and Med Gaz projects where Merlin induction heat and coat systems were used onshore and offshore on both J-lay and S-lay barge operations over several hundred kilometres.
