Case Study

Dispersion/Mixing Tank at Motor

Manufacturing Plant

A dispersion/mixing tank in service at a large
vehicle manufacturing plant was suffering
corrosion due to the materials carried and
dispersed within. The tank required a
programme of refurbishment and lining with a
suitable protective coating.

The tank was abrasive blasted, both internally
and externally, to achieve the required
cleanliness standard before being thoroughly
cleaned down to remove all dust and debris.
Polyglass VEF was applied to a DFT of
1250µm, Polyglass VEF is formulated for
immersed environments where superior
resistance to chemical attack is required across
the full pH range.

The externals of the tank and lid were coated
with Plasmet ZF to ensure all round corrosion
protection. A final coat of enamel completed
the coating work.

The application of specialist protective
coatings will significantly increase the
expected service life of the chemicals vessel.
