Steel-Nylon Composite Pipe Upgrade for Chemical Process Pipelines at Jiangsu Debang Xinghua Chemical
Project Overview
Industry: Chemical Manufacturing
Application: Chemical Process Pipeline System
Products Supplied: Steel-Nylon Composite Pipes and Matching Fittings
Commissioning Year: 2022
Operating Status: More than 3 Years of Continuous Service
In 2022, Jiangsu Debang Xinghua Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. upgraded part of its chemical process pipeline system by installing steel-nylon composite pipes and matching fittings manufactured by Guangdong Kejin New Materials Co., Ltd.
The project was designed to improve the long-term reliability of process pipelines handling corrosive chemical media. Since commissioning, the pipeline system has operated continuously for more than three years without any reported major pipeline failures. In March 2025, the customer issued a formal letter confirming its satisfaction with both the product performance and after-sales technical support.
Project Background
Chemical process pipelines operate under demanding conditions where corrosion, erosion, pressure fluctuations, and continuous operation place high requirements on pipeline materials.
Before the upgrade, the plant faced several common challenges associated with conventional pipeline materials.
Corrosive Chemical Media
Process fluids exhibit strong chemical corrosion and erosive characteristics, requiring pipeline materials with long-term corrosion resistance and structural stability.
Reliability Requirements
Unexpected pipeline failures may result in production interruptions, maintenance costs, and safety risks. Improving operational reliability was one of the project's primary objectives.
Long-Term Maintenance Considerations
The plant required a pipeline solution capable of reducing maintenance frequency while providing consistent performance throughout its service life.
Supplier Capability
Besides product quality, the customer required stable product supply, technical assistance, and responsive after-sales service to support future plant operation and expansion.
Solution
To address these requirements, Guangdong Kejin supplied a complete pipeline solution consisting of steel-nylon composite pipes and compatible fittings.
Steel-Nylon Composite Structure
The pipeline combines:
-
Carbon steel outer pipe for mechanical strength and pressure resistance
-
Reinforced nylon inner lining for corrosion and abrasion resistance
This composite design allows the pipeline to withstand demanding chemical service conditions while maintaining structural integrity.
Complete System Supply
Pipes and matching fittings were supplied as a complete system, helping ensure installation compatibility, sealing reliability, and long-term operational stability.
Long-Term Technical Support
The project also included ongoing technical consultation and after-sales service throughout operation.
Technical Advantages
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
The reinforced nylon lining provides effective protection against many corrosive chemical media, reducing the risk of internal corrosion and extending service life.
High Mechanical Strength
The steel outer layer provides the pressure-bearing capacity required for chemical process pipelines while protecting the internal lining.
Stable Long-Term Operation
After more than three years of continuous service, the pipeline system has maintained stable operating performance without reported major pipeline failures.
System Compatibility
Dedicated fittings are designed to match the pipeline system, simplifying installation and helping maintain sealing performance throughout operation.
Responsive Technical Service
Continuous technical support and after-sales service help ensure efficient operation and timely response when required.
