Refurbishment of Cation Exchanger Regeneration

Refurbishment and protection for petrochemical industry.

Scope of work

Complete refurbishment of process vessel currently out of service facing fatal corrosion problems. Previous hard rubber coating failed with lot of undercorroded areas.

Products

POLYGLASS Range
PLASMET ZF

Substrate

Carbon steel

Application Method

After taking down current hard ruber and 3 badly corroded parts rewelded, internal of the vessel protected against Sulphuric Acid 15% concentration attack at 60°C temperature, pressure 5 bars, using CORROCOAT materials: primer PPA, Polyglass Pipe Grade for 296 vertical hole of nozzle plate (hot spot of job), Corrofill, Polyglass VEF, Polyglass Veil Coat. Postcured. External protected by Plasmet ZF.

Coating credentials

The success of this project has led to the customer specifying Corrocoat systems to protect other areas of petrochemical plant including high aggressive chemical and temperature attack areas.

Corroglass AR4 for chemical storage

Protection for portable chemical storage tanks.

Scope of work

Corrosion protection of chemical storage tanks where previous linings had failed.

Products

Corroglass AR4 system

Substrate

Stainless steel

Coating system

Grit blast to ISO SA 2 1/2. Application of first coat of AR4 was applied, followed by a 2nd build coat to the required DFT. Coating was then spark tested and a third build coat applied. Second spark testing is followed by application of the veilcoat and post curing. Airless spray and hand application. Spark test 7130, veilcoat application and post cure.

Coating credentials

As the portafeeds are constantly on the move, they are subject to mechanical damage, which makes difficult to estimate the life expectancy of the coating. However, the customer remains more than satisfied with the significant increases achieved, and Corrocoat has now lined more than 300 units using this process.

Oil cooler waterbox cover

Total repair and refurbishment of main oil cooler waterbox cover.

Scope of work

The cooler waterbox covers would be considered beyond repair for most companies, without the established refurbishment expertise of Corrocoat. Cracking of the cover was stabilised by performing external metal stitch repairs. The internals were then re-profiled, followed by blasting and coating using a high build vinyl ester coating.

Products

Corroglass 600 series
Plasmet ZF

Substrate

Mild steel

Application Method

Remove existing coating. Pre machine rebates. Grit blast internals to ISO 8501-1, SA 21/2. Carry out metal stitch repair. Coat using Corroglass 600 to a minimum dft of 1.5mm. Post machine. Grit blast externals to ISO 8501-1, SA21/2. Apply Plasmet ZF followed by a proprietary topcoat.

Coating credentials

We have a proven track record within the power industry and also within the sea water environment. The customer needed a quick turn round to minimise downtime, and Corrocoat was able to meet these requirements, alongside a projected design life of 18-20 years. Corroglass is specially manufactured for its resistance to cavitation, erosion and impact whilst in operation under adverse conditions. Corroglass 600 series and the Plasmet range are both used in diverse applications throughout industry.
