A new ejector oil surge drum required a protective coating for high temperature and chemical resistance against sulfuric acid.
A new ejector oil surge drum was commissioned and as part of the specification, required a chemical resistant and high temperature coating to prolong life expectancy of the asset.
The surface preparation was carried out by grit blasting, within our state of the art blasting booth.
Once the steel substrate had been prepared to a standard of minimum surface profile of 75µm and a surface cleanliness of SA 2 1⁄2, our technicians installed nozzle inserts using pre-manufactured components.
Next, a two-coat system of Belzona 1593 was applied at a target thickness of 375µm per coat.
Belzona 1593 will outperform conventional coatings in terms of mechanical strength and adhesion, together with reduced shrinkage and VOC emissions. It bonds strongly to most metallic surfaces and presents an excellent retention of adhesion at elevated temperatures. This high performance coating is also resistant to the steam-out process to 210°C (410°F) and rapid depressurisation.
