| Belzona Clears Clarifier Problem | | | Industry:Water / Wastewater (WATR) | | | Application:Tanks and Chemical Containment Areas (TCC) | | | Customer Location:Waste Water Utility, Oklahoma | | | Application Date:March, 2007 | | | Application Situation:The aluminum shield on the clarifier extends 16 inches below the water line. This is the only one serving this small city. | | | Problem:50% of the shield had been eroded away due to corrosion at the water line. A new skirt from the manufacturer would cost over $15,000 and take unduly long to install. | | | Products:Belzona® 3921 (GSC Conditioner)Belzona® 5811 (immersion Grade) | | | Substrate:Aluminum | | | Application Method:Abraded new aluminum panels and coated with Belzona® 3921 and Belzona® 5811 in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet TCC-5. The panels were then bolted to the sound skirt eliminating need for complete replacement. | | | Belzona Facts:The city did this repair using $500 of Belzona and $1,000 in metal and supplies. It also took them only 1 day versus more than a week to replace the whole shield. | | | Photographs DescriptionClarifierEroded AluminumPreparing the panelsFinished panels coated at the waterline on both sides | |
