Cyclone and separator erosion protection
Swirling particle-laden gas inside cyclones and separators erodes the cone walls and vortex finders until plate thins and capture efficiency drops.
What is failing
Particle-laden gas swirls through cyclones and separators at speed, scouring the cone walls and vortex finders. The plate thins where the spiral flow concentrates, and capture efficiency falls as the geometry distorts. Once metal loss reaches inspection limits, the vessel faces new plate or full replacement.
How AAS does it
AAS blast-cleans the worn interior and applies a cold-applied, erosion-resistant ceramic coating that follows the cone and finder contours. The work is done in the field or in our shop during the outage, with no new plate welded in and no heat distortion to the shell. Surface prep is matched to the substrate so the lining keys in and holds under the abrasive stream.
The cyclone returns to service with a restored, erosion-hardened interior and recovers its separation efficiency without a plate-replacement weld cycle.
How AAS delivers it
AAS performs Cyclone and separator erosion protection work for Oil & Gas, Petrochemical & Chemical, and Power Generation operations across Baton Rouge and Louisiana, cold-applied and in place wherever possible, on your turnaround schedule. Crews are factory-trained Belzona applicators, the repair system is matched to the service conditions it will see, and urgent failures are covered by 24-hour on-call response. The result is a permanent, engineered repair that returns the asset to service without the cost or downtime of full replacement.
