Abstract: Pipeline companies, in the course of rehabilitating pipelines, utilize various services to remove and replace pipeline coatings. Occasionally, coating systems that contain some asbestos are encountered, and may require special handling. CUPS Systems, Inc., under a Gas Research Institute (GRI) development contract, has entered into a research and development program to design and build a coating removal system that will collect, transfer, and containerize for proper disposal the asbestos containing material. This system was designed to accommodate regulations covering worker safety, visible emissions, and contamination of the right of way. The goal of the system, in addition to proper handling of asbestos containing materia, was to provide a clean pipeline to allow proper application of the new coating system. This paper discusses regulatory aspects that must be considered, the coating removal technology used, and the asbestos contaminated coating handling process developed. Yard and field experimental results are presented.
