A water volute pump required a complete strip down, repair and rebuilding as well as protection against corrosion and on-going performance enhancement, using a friction reduction coating system; Fluiglide. The pump was first stripped to its component parts. Any necessary repairs were completed before the internals were grit-blasted to Sa2 ½. The externals were done […]

A client, who specialise in converting waste into energy requested a quotation for the application of a specialist coating system, to protect the internal of venting de-slagger pipework at their Energy from Waste plant. The plant burns municipal solid waste and industrial and commercial waste. IBA (Incinerator Bottom Ash) is produced as a waste product. […]

Corrosion is the deterioration or decay of a material (usually a metal), or the deterioration of its properties because of a reaction with its environment. Corrosion not only eats away at capital equipment, but also profits. With this in mind, it’s not hard to see why protection against corrosion is a vital issue in extending […]

Our Fluiglide energy efficient coating system, first introduced in 1985 has now been applied to literally thousands of pumps worldwide.
