Merlin Heat & Coat Field Joint System

FIELD JOINT HEATING & COATING SYSTEMS

Radyne Merlin systems deliver the most efficient means of heating and coating field joints by carrying out both operations simultaneously. This is a major benefit to pipe laying organisations as the Merlin System provides a reduced filed joint processing cycle time, allowing a faster throughput of pipe preparation prior to laying.

RADYNE MERLIN FEATURES

•    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

•    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.
