Problem: A central return line for three centrifugal pumps was required to reduce the turbulence within the piping system. In order to install this 325mm OD pipe back into the Pulp Chest, we had to diamond drill a 350mm hole x 500mm thick through the chest wall. Once done, we sealed the entire inside as well as both ends with Belzona 1212 and we were pressed for time on a one day shut
350mm Diamond Tip Core Drilling 500mm thick through the Pulp chest Wall - 50mm Re Bar inside . The core drilling took 8 hours alone.
Belzona 1212 was selected to seal and bond the 325mm OD steel pipe into the chest wall was we only had 12 hours on the shut.
325mm Inside Return line located inside the Pulp chest
325mm Outside Return line located outside the Pulp chest. From here an expansion joint was installed and the pipe was coupled into the common pump pipeline.
