Belzona Facts
Metal loss, if allowed to continue, would have led to the structural integrity of the wall being compromised. Repair or replacement would have led to a major shutdown of the refinery with its major associated loss of revenues. The Belzona products lent themselves to application within the confines of the tower and allowed its return to service with minimal downtime.
