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

One of the world\u2019s largest cruise ships had multiple tanks which were suffering from corrosion and required to be refurbished.<\/p>\n

The scope of the project included alkali, effluent, residence and process tanks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

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

Due to the varied nature of the tanks, there were different internal conditions for each type of tank; ranging from low temperatures and low chemical exposure, to high temperatures and high chemical exposure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

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

Chemco was able to provide two coating systems which would provide coverage for all tank conditions.<\/p>\n

System 1: For Alkali and Effluent tanks<\/span><\/p>\n

A unique solvent-free, wet & rust tolerant coating system:<\/p>\n

\u2022 RS 500P<\/strong>
\n\u2022 RA 500M<\/strong><\/p>\n

System 2: For Process and Residence tanks<\/span><\/p>\n

A 100% solid, highly chemically resistant coating suitable for high temperatures:<\/p>\n

\u2022 RB 364<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

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

All tanks were prepared, coated and successfully returned to service within the agreed scope and time frame given. This was achieved due to the distinct benefits of each Chemco system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
