For greater efficiency post-pump
March 1st 2008 Independent testing from the
Department of Trade and Industry
at the National Engineering
Laboratory, in Glasgow, is said to
have backed up Belzona's claims
of raised efficiency as a result of
applying a smooth hydrophobic
coating system. Tests showed
efficiency increases over new
pumps of more than 5%.
Belzona's partner contractor, SPP
Pumps, has passed on the benefits
of applying a Belzona efficiency
enhancement coating system to its
many customers.
"In addition to the initial
efficiency enhancement, the
coating also assists in maintaining
over time it acts as a barrier to
erosive and corrosive deterioration
of the casing internal surface,"
explains SPP Pumps business
manager, Martin Bagg.
Hydrophobic coatings that provide
a hydrodynamically smooth
surface have been increasingly
used to provide an actual increase
in the pumps efficiency over its 'as
new' condition. More articles from Belzona Polymerics Limited: |
