Pump <strong>Repair</strong><br />
Titanium Putty / Brushable Ceramic<br />
6/1/82<br />
NY State Gas <strong>and</strong> Electric, Seneca Lake Plant<br />
Utility Power Generation<br />
Problem:<br />
Over several years of service this pump casing would receive extreme wear <strong>and</strong> cavitation from<br />
processing primary cooling water. The cavitation <strong>and</strong> wear was so severe that the pump was operating at<br />
50% efficiency. Previous method of repair was to replace complete pump casing at a cost of $60K.<br />
Solution:<br />
Complete surface area was s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. All repair areas were then<br />
chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Titanium Putty was mixed <strong>and</strong> applied filling all cavitated<br />
<strong>and</strong> worn areas deeper than .125”. Following a partial cure of Titanium Putty, (4 hours), Brushable<br />
Ceramic was applied to a thickness of 30 mils. Brushable Ceramic encapsulated the repair areas <strong>and</strong><br />
provided a long lasting, abrasion <strong>and</strong> chemical resistant, low co-efficient to friction surface coating.<br />
<strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair cost was $1K.
