Application Situation
The Customer was looking for a long-term solution and repair for their agitator blades that are used in lime slurry for their FGD.
Application Method
The surface of the new blades was prepared by sandblasting to a near white metal finish. Then, Belzona 2911 was applied with several coats of Belzona 2111 to achieve a thick and slick uniform finish.
Belzona Facts
The Belzona solution proved to be the right choice for the customer as the application took half the time needed for replacement and our repair was less expensive. Belzona has had previous success with elastomer repairs in other areas of the FGD.
