Application Method
The tube sheet and end cover were blasted and coated with two layers of Belzona 1321. It was decided to not use corks because the tube sheet was small. The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflets HEX-1 & HEX-2.
Belzona Facts
A new replacement heat exchanger was out of the question due to budget restraints. The cost to repair the equipment with Belzona was far less than the replacement costs.
