Application Situation
During a scheduled maintenance outage, the customer wanted a pump that was previously protected with Belzona to be remediated while it was out for inspection. Note: this pump was still performing as expected.
Application Method
All of the equipment receiving the Belzona coating was grit blasted with Black Beauty and then cleaned. Any severe pitting and erosion was addressed by rebuilding with Belzona 1311 and finished with two coats of Belzona 1341, the known pump-efficiency enhancement system. The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflets CEP-3 & CEP-5.
