Machinery, equipment, structures and buildings within biomass plants face maintenance challenges including chemical attack, abrasion and mechanical damage, among others. Belzona has been demonstrating success and reliability in the repair and maintenance of biomass facilities for decades.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Typical problems for anaerobic digesters and sludge tanks include: corrosion of the GFS and concrete tanks at the liquid and/or gas phase and also thin/through-wall defects.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Patch or plate bonding repairs with Belzona 1000 Series paste-grade materials. Internal lining with Belzona 1000 and 5000 Series coatings for corrosion protection.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For chutes, hoppers and screw conveyors, a typical problem is metal loss due to abrasion occuring during the transfer and processing of hard materials.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1800 Series paste-grade materials with ceramic fillers and Belzona 9811 alumina tiles bonded in place.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For pumps and pipes, typical problems include erosion-corrosion and chemical attack related to the handling of biomass.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1000 Series 100% solids paste- and fluid-grade materials for metal rebuild and corrosion protection of the pipes and pipework.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Weathering and/or physical damage to roofs and roof parts: joints, seams, edges, glazing sections, gutters, flashings, skylights, parapet walls and copings, pipes and pipe supports. The damage is typically caused by weather and freeze-thaw cycles, failure of roof materials, substrate movement or impact.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 3000 Series fluid-grade membranes for weatherproofing, waterproofing, repair and protection of all roof types and roof parts.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For floors and loading areas, typical problems include damage of concrete floors and structures due to weather fluctuations, chemical attack or physical impact, slippery transit areas and expansion joints failure.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona Belzona 1000, 2000, 4000, and 5000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials for floor slip resistance, safety markings, concrete restoration and levelling, expansion joint repairs, bund repairs and protection.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For walls, typical problems include deterioration of concrete and stonework, and construction joint failure due to erosion, corrosion, chemical attack, physical impact, and structural movement.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 2000, 4000, and 5000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials for waterproofing, concrete and stonework rebuilding and protection of the external and internal walls, and for the repair, replacement or installation of construciton joints.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For shafts and housings, typical problems include metal loss due to wear and mechanical damage.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1000 Series paste-grade materials for injection with a former or rebuilding and machining to exact original dimensions.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Typical problems include rips, tears and damage to the rubber conveyor belts and cleats.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 2000 Series elastomers for repairing, bonding and patching damaged conveyor belts in situ.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For fire sprinkler tanks, typical problems include internal and external corrosion, thin and through-wall defects on the water storage tanks.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Patch or plate bonding repairs with Belzona 1000 Series paste-grade materials, internal lining with Belzona 1000 and 5000 Series coatings for corrosion protection.
