Metal Repair

Rotating equipment repair and efficiency restoration

Flow-induced metal loss exposes fresh steel that the process chemistry then attacks, dropping the efficiency of pumps, fans and turbines.

The problem

What is failing

Flow-induced metal loss strips the protective surface off pumps, fans, and turbines, exposing fresh steel that the process chemistry then attacks. The two failure modes feed each other and the unit slides down its efficiency curve. More power for less output shows up directly on the plant's energy bill.

Our method

How AAS does it

AAS rebuilds the worn surfaces cold and overcoats them with an erosion-corrosion-resistant layer such as Belzona 1321 or 1391. The crew blasts the substrate, rebuilds lost metal to the design profile, and applies the barrier film that holds back both wear and chemical attack. The whole job cures at ambient temperature with no hot work.

Typically applied with Belzona 1321, Belzona 1391, matched to the service conditions.

The result

The unit recommissions on its design curve inside the same outage. The protective overcoat slows the next round of erosion-corrosion, so efficiency holds longer between repairs.
