We attended on-site to view and asses a corroded gas scrubber and demister at a blast furnace. Despite the age and corrosion levels of the assets it was determined that Corroserve could repair and coat the units to provide an extended life cycle to both units. Extensive preparation of the substrates togerther with additional repairs […]

As the tanks are designed for chemical mixing, the internal substrate can be subject to a wide range of chemicals and concentrations. This is why the Polyglass VEF & Polyglass VE Veilcoat coating system is applied, as it offers superior corrosion, chemical and temperature resistance. Benefits: As the tanks are designed for chemical mixing, the […]

In certain industries it is vital that blast cleaning of key components be carried out quickly and efficiently to ensure that they are re-installed swiftly to minimise costly downtime.

Over the years our Engineers have cleaned countless condenser tubes but […]

The client, the operator of polar explorer vessels, doubted they could save the two Seawater Ejector Pump Casings taken from one of the ships in their fleet.  Such was their misgivings that in documentation they reported:  ‘Severe Erosion Damage – May Not Be Repairable’. The client, the operator of polar explorer vessels, doubted they could […]

Hydrofluoric acid is a highly toxic but essential component in the nuclear industry.  In the event of a breach in a hydrofluoric acid storage tank, a vital element to contain spillage is a series of concrete bunds which also assist clean-up operations and prevent environmental pollution. Hydrofluoric acid is a highly toxic but essential component […]

When a major utilities company was carrying out a massive extension to one of its waste water treatment plants, Corroserve was contracted to apply a protective coating system to the interior and exterior surfaces of the 2.4 m diameter pipework which takes treated wastewater out to sea. When a major utilities company was carrying out […]

Within the petrochemical industry, there is increasing pressure on refineries to minimise unscheduled shutdowns. Perhaps the leading source of hydrocarbon releases and therefore a regular cause of shutdowns is pipeline leakages which often occur in bolted flange joints. Leakages from flange joints not only cost time and money to repair, but because of the hazardous […]

Corroserve was contacted by a power generation client, who operate a coal-fired power station in Nottinghamshire.  The client had a problem – the vanes on a high-speed turbine used in the power generation process were experiencing severe erosion from cenospheres – lightweight, air-filled hollow silica spheres, produced as a byproduct of coal combustion at thermal power plants. As the vanes erode, […]
