ANCAP (Administración Nacional de Combustibles, Alcoholes y Portland) is a state-owned company in Uruguay. It is involved in the production of petroleum products, Portland cement and alcoholic beverages. It operates the Uruguay’s single oil refinery at La Teja with a capacity of 50,000 barrels per day.
In 2011, the 78m tall flare stack, located in the Bay of Montevideo, previously hot-dipped but depleted, was protected with 2 layers of ZINGA.
A total of 1,200 kg of ZINGA was required to treat the complete tower (including bolts, stairs, platform, etc.).
On 14 November 2022, 11 years after this application, ZINGAMETALL Belgium visited the site with TUBACERO, the Uruguyan ZINGA Distributor, to check the condition of the ZINGA system on the ANCAP flare stack.
