Problem:<br />
Rebuilt intake water circulating pump that has been worn through caviation over the years. The veloute<br />
areas have seen quite a bit of erosion of metal. The pump is so large that the plant wants to spray a coating<br />
onto the surface for easy of application for the mechanics<br />
Solution:<br />
First the pump area is s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC 10 finish. Then degreased using our Cleaner Blend 300 which<br />
leaves no residue. This leaves a good 3-5 mil profile for application of our materials. Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong><br />
Putty is applied to the large spalled areas of metal over 1/8” deep. This helps to fill in these worn areas.<br />
Next the Sprayable Ceramic is coated at a 20-30 mil coating in one pass over the entire pump. A wet film<br />
gauge is used to gauge the thickness. After 6-8 hours a second coat of the Sprayable Ceramic is coated<br />
onto the pump for a finish of 40-60 mils. This makes for a strong chemical <strong>and</strong> abrasion resistant coating.
