Extending the lifespan of cooling tower fan blades. Corrroserve was recently commissioned by a UK gas-fired power plant to repair and protect multiple sets of cooling tower fan blades. The fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) blades had been in operation for over 25 years and showed visible signs of wear and damage. The blades were abrasive […]

Over the years, Corroserve was been awarded many pipe lining contracts for platforms in the North Sea. In 2013, we were commissioned for a project to provide corrosion protection for the internal and external corrosion protection of a 36” diameter caisson; weighing approximately 27 tonnes, and measuring 30 metres in length, thanks to our outstanding […]

Pump Stage Casing Suffering Severe Erosion Corrosion A global leader in fluid engineering, recently sub-contracted Corroserve, to repair and protect a pump stage casing. The casing had suffered chloride pitting as a result of being subject to sea-water for over 2 decades, at a power station. Pump casing suffering from chloride pitting   Having looked […]

Our partners in Japan previously worked with a client in the Chemical industry to assist them with saving energy by targeting the double suction pump of a cooling tower, which had been in service since 1986. The pump had long operating times and relatively large power loads and the aim of the project was to […]

It is National Apprenticeship Week and to mark this, we’re placing our three apprentices in the spotlight.

We also offer the re-engineering of pumps, as well as coating services for corrosion protection on almost all types of pumps.  The bespoke nature of our expertise and services offered, enables Corroserve to respond […]

Alternative to Weld Repairs Corroserve recently inspected a pipe at the client’s facility to discuss alternative options to weld repairs. The client, an industrial engineering and manufacturing firm in the UK, required a quick turnaround and cost-effective repair. Upon inspection the pipe showed through wall defects and many cracks both on the internals and externals. The […]

Corroserve was approached by a client; a major commercial shipping company, to repair a badly damaged ballast pump casing. The pump had sucked in a large item that had cracked open the casing at the bottom of the suction chamber. Arrival at the workshop Following arrival at the workshop, the affected area was cut out […]

Two newly fabricated bag house hoppers, to be installed at an energy from waste plant in West Yorkshire, required protection. In service the hoppers would be exposed to hot ash and gases at temperatures up to 140°c as they collect and funnel waste, from the plants bag house. Following delivery to our workshop, the hoppers […]

A leading energy supplier requested the manufacture and corrosion protection, against pitting and cavitation, of 2 1600mm NB butterfly valves to extend their service life. In service at a nuclear power station, the CW valves would be subject to constant exposure to seawater. The body and blade of the butterfly valves were cast using BS3100: […]

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. In every case significant improvements in efficiency are achieved. The performance of the process has been subject of extensive test procedures. This includes evaluation by major manufacturers, utilities and industrial users. Fluiglide materials offer dual benefits. […]
