Application Situation

A large vessel containing a beer solution required an internal lining to prevent corrosion & maintain hygienic conditions within the vessel.

Application Method

The applicaion was carried out in accordance with Belzona System Leaflet TCC-03. A sponge blast system was used to remove the failed lining & to prepare the underlying metal. Two coats of Belzona 5892 were then applied. The coating was post cured at 30 degrees C to comply with the WRAS potable water requirements.

Belzona Facts

The works were completed in a short turn around & has extended the life of the vessel by many years. The sponge blast system & habitat keep dust down to the very low level required by production.
