Pressure Vessel Protective Coatings and Refurbishment

Solutions

A pressure vessel is a vessel designed to hold gases or liquids as part of a process. The pressure is considerably different from the atmospheric pressure outside of it. The pressure differential can be dangerous, and in some case can be fatal. Numerous accidents have occurred in the development and operation of pressure vessels. One of the major causes has been corrosion. Chemical attack, erosion and corrosion can cause unscheduled shutdowns, reduced service life, poor performance, loss of production, and create an unsafe work environment. Chemco pressure vessel protective coating systems are essential to improve the safety and life cycle cost of your plant.

Chemco have developed a range of products designed for this application.
