Petrochemical Case Studies
US107: Pump Casing and Impeller
A pump operating in a highly aggressive chemical environment was found to be suffering from serious corrosion and abrasion damage. Corrosion/erosion was evident on the impellers and impeller shroud.
After the machined surfaces were masked up the wetted areas were blasted to the required cleanliness standard. This was followed by a blown down, sweep and vacuuming to ensure the removal of all debris before coating work could begin.

US110: ISO Tank Lamination and Coating
An ISO tank used to transport chemicals required a program of refurbishment and the application of a
protective coating system to extend its service life. Click to read more.
US114: 50% Sulfuric Acid
A chemical mixing tank processing 50% sulfuric acid required protection against chemical attack. Click to read more.
US120: Reflux Tank Dished Ends
The tank dished ends of a reflux tank required refurbishment and protective coating against an aggressive chemical environment in the pesticides
and herbicides manufacturing sector.
A reflux tank’s purpose is to thermally accelerate a reaction by conducting it at an elevated, controlled temperature and ambient pressure without losing large quantities of the mixture. Click to read more.
US124: Refurbishment of Chemicals Vessel and Lid
A chemicals processing vessel and lid used in the manufacture of potassium bromate required a program of refurbishment and lining with a
suitable protective coating. The lid of the vessel had 10 access/sampling ports that all required preparation and coating. Click to read more.
US121: Protection Against Sulfuric Acid
A tank, designed to enter service as an arsenic scrubber tank would be subject to 36% sulfuric acid (which would dilute in the scrubber process) at
operating temperatures up to 1750F. Click to read more.
