| Belzona Protects Hot Pipework | | | Industry:Petrochemical (PETR) | | | Application:Tanks and Chemical Containment Areas (TCC) | | | Customer Location:Refinery, Germany | | | Application Date:September 2010 | | | Application Situation:Hot pipework (aprox. 110°C) in the refinery | | | Problem:Original paint system was failing allowing pipework to corrode. New protection required to be applied whilst system remained operational. | | | Products:Belzona® 5851 (HA-Barrier) | | | Substrate:Mild Steel | | | Application Method:Application was carried out in accordance with Belzona System Leaflet TCC-5. As the pipe was in hot service only minimal surface preparation could be carried out to remove the exsisting coating. Once the pipe was returned to a sound substrate, the product was applied by brush to the hot pipework. | | | Belzona Facts:Although this was a successful trial the major work which was intended has yet to proceed. | | | Photographs Description
