How to Repair and Protect High Temperature Process Vessels

Play Video
Process vessels are susceptible to erosion, corrosion and chemical attack resulting from prolonged exposure to chemical media accelerated by elevated temperatures and entrained solids. Such issues can lead to several costly implications including:

• Lost production
• Unplanned shutdowns
• Shorter service life
• Frequent maintenance expenses
• Poor performance
• Un-safe operation of the vessel

These problems can be solved using Belzona materials which have been formulated to be easy and safe to use and cure at ambient temperature, eliminating the need for hot work or specialist tools. Thanks to their cold-applied and fast-curing properties, Belzona solutions for process vessels simplify maintenance procedures, eliminate dangerous hot work and extend asset life.

In this video, we will show you how to repair and protect process vessels using innovative Belzona solutions. We will demonstrate the application process for pit filling with Belzona 1511 and lining with Belzona 1593, however other materials can be specified depending on the operating conditions.
