At Petro Coating Systems’ (PCS’) factory, the group viewed the company’s PetroGard petrolatum coating plant in operation, and were given an overview of the many uses for the material.
Following an animated discussion of the transference of pipeline knowledge from the old to the young, and a light lunch provided by their hosts, the young pipeliners left PCS’ factory and made for Geelong to visit the Shell refinery.
