| Description |
The objective was to study the
adhesion and prevention of icing on offshore drilling and production facilities.
Hydrophobic coatings, which have suitable visco-elastic properties, will be investigated.
These coatings are expected to decrease adhesive strength of ice by 98 percent, thus
decreasing enormously the mechanical work required to remove the ice. Other methods, such
as self-mending lubricants, will also be considered as different locations on a facility
may require various preventive methods. |
