Application Situation
Preventive application on a cyclone in a geothermal plant.
Application Method
The steel was grit blasted first, then all the surfaces in contact with brine and the inside of the exhausts were coated with Belzona 5892. Belzona 1523 was then used for the protection of the parts exposed to important erosion and high temperatures.
Belzona Facts
The customer chose a Belzona solution for its speed of execution and to avoid transporting all the cyclone parts overseas for coating. This other coating needed to be cured at really high temperature which was not convenient for such a big application.
