Hi,

Preservation is regarding the use of inhibition/ inert gas to provide protection to systems during downtime.

Mothballed equipment is the positive isolation of equipment ie spool removal, typically it is associated with equipment that has been taken out of service. Please note that this does not mean it has been inhibited.

Unfortunately I cant help you with lay up, hopefully someone else can,

Regards,

Nick

It is a matter of time scale.
A lay-up is short term (days to weeks)
Mothballing would be for a long term (years).

You must use different methods to protect equipment depending on how long you are looking at.
