CASE STUDY
High Temperature Duct Refurbishment
Client: Longannet Power Station
Industry: Power Generation
Scope: High Temperature Duct Refurbishment
Date: November 2003
Location: UK
Products: RL 500PF
OVERVIEW
High temperature ducting located at the Longannet Power Station required a new protective coating system capable of being applied and operate at high temperatures.
CHALLENGE
The ducting would be operating at 150ºC during application. There could be no operational shutdown and no grit blasting was permissible.
SOLUTION
Wire brushing was selected as the surface preparation method to be utilised. This was followed by two coats of wet & rust tolerant Epo-chem™ RL 500PF.
OUTCOME
The project was completed on time, within budget and to the complete satisfaction of all concerned.
BENEFITS
• Wet & rust tolerant properties of Epo-chem™ RL 500PF
• No grit blasting
• No operational shutdown
• No disruption to others working in close proximity
• Reduced H&S and Fire Precautions
• Reduced contract duration
