Aerobic Reactor
Plant in operation Corroded Floor Abrasive Blasting in progress Preparation of top coat OVERVIEW: This Mild Steel Aerobic Reactor containing effluent waste water required a cost effective coating system offering a long-term anti-corrosion solution. Priming with RS 500P, followed by RA 500 top coat will ensure 15 years service life. INDUSTRY Water Treatment ENVIRONMENT […]
Steel Clarifier
Before – Clarifier on inspection Coated with Epochem RA 500 series Launder and steelwork OVERVIEW: The existing coating failed due to a process change. Time constraints required Chemcote to work around the clock to minimise production downtime whilst other engineering teams were in close proximity and the adjoining plant remained in operation. INDUSTRY Steel […]
Demister Internals
Externals of Demister Before – Pitting beneath build-up Beige indicated pit filled areas After coating completion OVERVIEW: The client had a demister in service since ’96 without internal coating protection and recent weld repairs to localised corrosion pitting caused water and blast furnace gas leaks which required repairs and coating to extend shell life. INDUSTRY […]
Ventilation Fan
During Fabrication Application of primer by hand due to complexity View of fan on completion OVERVIEW: The fan required pressure washing every 3-6 months to prevent large amounts of build up. This build up was causing balancing issues and unnecessary bearing load. Chemcote was engaged to improve the efficiency of the fan, decrease problems […]
Vacuum Pump
Siemens barrel & end plate after final machining Siemens rotor, rebuilt and machined to original tolerances Final balance to G2.5.View of the RB 300 series ability to be machined back to critical dimensions and tight tolerances OVERVIEW: The pump was rebuilt and returned to service within a few weeks whereas a new replacement pump […]
Oil Cooler Water Boxes
35 year old Oil Cooler Cover Covers after first coat with RB 332 Water boxes after W/B, priming and application of RA 532 OVERVIEW: Deep pitting was found in many areas of the 35 year old oil cooler water box requiring pit filling and reinforcement using composites. Water boxes needed to be coated on site […]
Intercooler Water Box
32 Year old Waterbox Cover Cover after abrasive blasting Water box covers after abrasive blasting, pitfilling and coating application Externals given a protective coating and caution stencil Previous Next OVERVIEW: Chemcote were approached to pitfill and recoat this intercooler water box unit from 1981. It was discovered that previous coating applications did not have […]
Column Pump Repairs
Pitting and erosion in the wear spacer ring/housing 3rd coat complete Finishing touches ready for packaging OVERVIEW: The refinery column pump for storm water and effluent required repairs and surface coating to protect from corrosion. Corrosion pitting and erosion was evident in the suction bell & adjoining column and the wear spacer ring/housing. We […]
Bridge Piles
Corroded Bridge Piles Coating Underwater Set up on dive barge alongside OVERVIEW: A solution was required to prevent corrosion on existing bridge piles underwater and in the tidal zone. A wet and surface tolerant solution was required. INDUSTRY Marine ENVIRONMENT Immersed, aggressive marine conditions SUBSTRATE Bridge Piles CHALLENGE The Client required the bridge piles […]
