How to obtain anti-corrosion and anti-abrasion protection in a small hydro

In the lines below you will find details regarding a project developed within a SHP. Specifically, it is about applying an anti-corrosion and anti-abrasion protection systems for the supply channel.

 

What was the size of the area of application?

The surface was about 80 m², about 17.5 ml channel arranged by:

•  diameter  Փ  = 2 m (about 4.5 ml)

•  diameter  Փ = 1 m (about 13 ml)

 

     

                  (channel surface inspection)                                                     (Channel area before application)

 

How was the situation managed?

Following the surface features, the solution consists of applying a ceramic polymer based interior protection. CERAMIC POLYMER STP system was applied with a thickness of 400 μ.

Protection systems based on ceramic polymers are patented in Germany and B-Team Consult and Services is the only importer for Romania.

 

What features does CERAMIC POLYMER STP product has?

CERAMIC POLYMER STP is a special composite material protection, bicomponent, containing ceramic micro-particles and nano-additives. It is based on epoxy resins, which creates a protective layer with excellent resistance to abrasion, corrosion, chemical agents. The product can be applied to a wide range of metal surfaces.

This technical solution is recommended for environments with abrasive factors and has been applied on several platforms in the North Sea.

 

On what actions does the application process consists?

Material application was made in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Just by keeping these guidelines you will have the benefit of the product`s properties, and  for that you will need a specialized team.

Main operations for protection application:

1)      Sandblasting Sa 2½ according to technical requirements.

2)      Applying the  POLYMER CERAMIC STP

3)      Layer measurements during application and at the end of the process

4)      Setting the quality management plan

 

     

          (sandblasted surface and a part of applied product )                           (area after product application)

 

What are the advantages of protective materials based on ceramic polymers?

- Higher corrosion protection up to 100 times compared to other systems

- 5 times better adhesion to the surface than other protection systems

- 10 higher resistance to impact compared to other solutions

- Ecological because there are no solvents included

- Excellent chemical and thermal resistance

- Fast application

- By applying the products, you will have the benefit of significant savings

- Long service life

- If necessary, the film can be recovered / repaired quickly
