Problem: The chemical neutralization of the water that goes back into the river from this coal fired power plant takes place in four concrete neutralization basins. These basins had been coated with Belzona 4111 and over-coated with two coats of Belzona 5811 about 25 years ago. Gradually over the years the chemical attack had eroded some of the product. There was peeling of the walls and some places were down into the concrete substrate.
