Cladding Company Extends Life of Component Parts
Innerfuse ID Welding Applies the Latest Weld Technology to Preserve the Life
of Valves, Piping and Component Parts
Today’s search for oil and gas focuses on reserves
previously thought too expensive to obtain, specifically
subsea and shale formation drilling. Exploration of these
areas often exposes equipment to high levels of highly
corrosive hydrogen disulfide (H2S) gas. Therefore, some
of the most expensive maintenance problems in the oil
equipment and petrochem fields are corrosion, abrasion
and oxidation. These environments can significantly
reduce the life cycle of processing and ancillary
equipment. Weld overlay is used throughout the industry
to eliminate or minimize these issues.
This is a good state of affairs for William Lee, president
of Innerfuse ID Welding, LLC in Hammond, Louisiana.
Mr. Lee, known as Billy throughout the welding industry,
has worked in the welding field for more than 30 years, a
good part of that time spent in Europe, with trips all over
the globe. He has logged more than 67,000 hours in the
welding field. When personal issues brought him home to
Louisiana, starting his own welding company seemed like
a natural progression in his career. He found a few
partners, and Innerfuse ID Welding was born.
Innerfuse builds components such as separators and
pressure vessels but the company’s primary mission,
