The Challenge
Small leakages in tanks and Chemical Containment areas caused damage to the external paint and resulted in corrosion and additional leakages.
The Solution
MRO 1011 Kleaner Degreezer
MRO 8051 S Stick
MRO 8000 Ti Putty
MRO 3000 Chempro
APPLICATION METHOD:
- From the leakage area loose metal was removed with mechanical tools until the surface was clean and had a rough profile.
- The repair area was decontaminated with MRO 1011 Kleaner – Degreezer.
- MRO 8051 S Stick was used to seal the live leaks.
- The small repair areas were covered with MRO 8000 Ti Putty & Reinforcement Tape.
- Additional strength was given to larger repair areas with PVC plate, bonding it by applying MRO 8000 Ti Putty.
- Finally a chemical resistant coating was provided by applying MRO 3000 Chempro.
The application was completed in accordance with ‘Directions for Use’ mentioned in product TDS.
The Result
WHY MRO...
By applying MRO INFRA products a complete shutdown is not required resulting in saving a huge amount of time and inconvenience for the customer. Whereas welding repairs would have required complete shutdown, draining and decontamination of the equipment to make the area safe for hot work.
APPLICATION CASE HISTORY – A CHEMICAL PLANT IN BHARUCH, GUJARAT
PROBLEM:
A small leak had developed at the top section of the scrubber. The resulting leak dripped down onto a lower area of the surface, causing damage to the external coating and resulting in an additional leak.
CUSTOMERS BENEFIT:
Welding repairs would have required complete shutdown, draining and decontamination of the equipment to make the area safe for hot work. With the MRO INFRA solution, the customer could prevent shutdown which saved time and money for the customer.
