OVERVIEW<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The sealing membrane at the top of the steel hot water tank had burst, allowing oxygen to enter the vessel, leading to corrosion of the tank\u2019s internal structure.<\/p>\n

The tank required to be refurbished with a new coating solution that would provide long-term performance.<\/p>\n

This project was carried out by Corroless Eastern.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

CHALLENGE<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The chosen coating solution had to effectively withstand the tank\u2019s operating temperature of around 80\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

SOLUTION<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The tank internals were thoroughly cleaned using high pressure washing, before being sponge blasted to Sa 2\u00bd to achieve the desired surface profile (min. 75\u03bcm).<\/p>\n

The use of sponge blasting all but eliminated the release of dust into the plant room, which in turn helped to protect the surrounding plant and equipment.<\/p>\n

One stripe coat and one full coat of RE 500P<\/strong> was then applied, before one stripe coat and two full coats of\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 RW 500<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

OUTCOME<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The required DFT was comfortably achieved and the works were warranted for 10 years from completion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
