Pump Impeller <strong>Repair</strong><br />
Titanium Putty / Brushable Ceramic<br />

Douglas Pump <strong>Repair</strong><br />
Utility Power Generation<br />
Problem:<br />
This impeller from a primary water intake pump would receive extreme wear from a combination slurry<br />
of s<strong>and</strong>, soil <strong>and</strong> water. The previous method of repair was to simply replace when required. Impeller<br />
replacement cost was estimated to be $4K.<br />
Solution:<br />
The impeller was firstly s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. All surface areas were then<br />
chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. All worn cavitated areas deeper than 1/8” were filled using<br />
Titanium Putty. Following a partial cure of Titanium Putty, (2 hours), Brushable Ceramic was applied to<br />
a thickness of 30 mils in tow coats at 15 mils each. Brushable Ceramic encapsulated the repair areas, <strong>and</strong><br />
provided a long lasting, abrasion resistant, low co-efficient to friction protective surface coating.<br />
<strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair cost was $500.
