| Belzona Protects Against Hot Sulphuric Acid | | | Industry:Petrochemical (PETR) | | | Application:Tanks and Chemical Containment Areas (TCC) | | | Customer Location:Chemical Company, Warrington, UK | | | Application Date:September 2014 | | | Application Situation:Tile and brick chemical containment bund. | | | Problem:The tiles were on the base of the bund and a couple of inches up the walls. As the standing water levels were above the tiles, it was leaking through the bricks. The tank inside was storing 77% sulphuric acid at 70°C. It was therefore decided to coat the bund. | | | Products:Belzona 4131 (Magma-Screed)
Belzona 4341 (Magma CR4) | | | Substrate:Tile and Brick | | | Application Method:The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet TCC-15. Belzona 4131 was used to create fillets at the horizontal and vertical junctions before Belzona 4341 was applied to protect the entire area. | | | Belzona Facts:The entire application was completed in 5 days. Despite the harsh conditions Belzona 4341 can resist high concentrations of sulphuric acid up to 90°C. As Belzona products are non-porous, this eradicates the problems that could be incurred through acid leakage. | | | Photographs Description
