Pump efficiency restored at Iceland fish farm
Belzona 1341 epoxy coating system improves pump efficiency, eliminate corrosion and decelerate erosion for fish farm.
Belzona 1341 epoxy coating system improves pump efficiency, eliminate corrosion and decelerate erosion for fish farm.
In the Southwest of Iceland, Stofnfiskur’s salmon broodstock farm houses 25,000m3 tanks in 10 massive sheds. Water is delivered constantly by an army of centrifugal pumps.
Tank maintenance can present multiple challenges where shutting the process down is too costly and hot work is not possible due to the risk of sparks. Belzona says cold applied and cold curing coatings and composites address these issues and enable leaks to be sealed for the long term without the use of mechanical equipment.
Belzona’s new generation of spray-applied filler free polymer alloy provides the robust protection of a ceramic coating without causing wear or damage to spray equipment.
Belzona has come to the aid of a refinery where pipework was suffering from thin and through-wall defects, caused by severe external corrosion and pitting.
Belzona suspended a Mercedes SL500 AMG above a Mercedes S320 LCDI. With the Mercedes SL 500 AMG weighing over 2.2 tonnes and a minimal amount of adhesive it demonstrated that the Belzona 1251 Heat Activated Metal was able to carry over 1.8 million times its own weight!
Belzona 1341 (Supermetalglide) was formulated to meet demand for a coating that would help improve and maintain pumping efficiency and increase pump service life, while reducing the need for routine maintenance.
