Industry: Co-generation & Gas Date: November 2010 Substrate: Mild Steel Products: Epo-chem™ RL 500PF – Surface and moisture tolerant zinc rich epoxy Environment: Methane gas co-generation plant exhaust stack trials. Challenge: 15 year old plant was showing signs of premature corrosion within 3-4 years of commissioning. Spark free surface preparation was a strict requirement. Plant read more ►
Industry: Oil & Gas, Date: April 2009, Substrate: Structural Steel, Products: Epo-chem™ RS 500P, Epo-chem™ RA 500M, Environment: Hot and humid, sea mist, Challenge: Highly corroded carbon steel decks would have taken 12 months to re-surface with riding crew permanently on board. Corrosion would have re-appeared upon completion under high humidity and rain conditions. Chemcote’s read more ►
Industry: HVAC, Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Date: February 2012, Substrate: Cast Iron, Products: Epo-chem™ RS 500P, Epo-chem™ RA 532, Environment: Recirculated water, Challenge: This heat exchanger vessel was manufactured in 1981 and installed shortly after. Fatigue cracking was found in some read more ►
Industry: Oil & Gas Industry, Date: April 2010, Substrate: Carbon Steel Rig Decks, Products: Epo-chem RS 500P Chem-tect RA 500M Environment: Wet & Humid, atmospheric moisture Challenge: Heavily corroded steel rig decks would have taken 12 months to re-surface with riding crew permanently on board. Corrosion would have re-appeared upon read more ►
Industry: Oil & Gas Industry, Date: March 2008, Substrate: Lining on produced water treatment vessel, Products: Epo-chem™ RW 564, Environment: Produced water environment (coalescing) at 95°C, Challenge: The original coating was failing with osmosis blistering and exposure of the substrate to the cargo which caused localised corrosion pitting. Remedial work read more ►
Industry: Petrochemical – Oil Refinery, Date: 2002, Substrate: Mild Steel water boxes & bronze tube sheets, Products: Chem-tect™ RB 300 series, Environment: Ambient sea water inlet side and 60-80°C outlet side. Challenge: The cooling water system was severely corroded and required refurbishment. The tube sheets were corroded due to a read more ►
Industry: Oil Refinery, Date: 2007, Substrate: Steel floor with failed coating, Products: Epo-Chem™ RA 500 series, Environment: Immersed, ambient, possible MIC, Challenge: This petrochemical client had 40m diameter fuel oil storage tank with floor and 2m wall which required re-coating. The coating system requirement was for one which offers a read more ►
Industry: Oil & Gas Industry, Date: March 2010, Substrate: Cast and machined carbon steel, Products: Chem-tect™ RB 300 series, Challenge: With an unprotected carbon steel pump, the rotor and barrel generally suffer rapid corrosion through contaminated water or acidic solvents used as sealant solutions. This leads to premature failure, inefficiency and read more ►
Industry: HVAC, Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Date: February 2012, Substrate: Cast Iron, Products: Chem-tect™ RB 332, Epo-chem™ RL 500PF, Environment: Up to 60°C Recirculated Water, Challenge: The intercooler water box unit was manufactured in 1981 and installed shortly after. It was discovered that previous coating applications did not have read more ►
