Belzona in the Water/Wastewater Industry
With Belzona, water/wastewater treatment facilities solve many common problems, including deteriorated performance caused by erosion-corrosion in pumps, chemical attack in fluid handling systems, water ingress / leakage from equipment & structures, and mechanical damage to equipment throughout these facilities.
In water/wastewater, Belzona's Advanced Polymers are used to repair and protect a wide variety of equipment and areas. The following applications represent only a fraction of what can be accomplished through the use of Belzona:
Pump Efficiency Improvement & Renovation
Even More Information on Pump Efficiency
Manufacturer's testing results indicated a 7% efficiency improvement on this new pump which was protected with Belzona's low surface energy coating, which also is approved for potable water contact by the NSF(National Sanitation Foundation) and the UK's Water Resources Advisory Scheme.
Belzona® 1000 Series rebuilding grade compounds can restore and protect pump casings and impellers damaged from erosion - corrosion, wear and cavitation.
Mechanical Repair
Shaft damage can be repaired in-place with a Belzona® Know-How forming technique. Shafts also can be repaired with Belzona by machining. Keyways, bearing housings, scored rams, and many other types of equipment can be restored with Belzona for a fraction of replacement cost.
The wall thickness of this aeration float tube was severely reduced. With minimum downtime, the tube was rebuilt and put back into service with Belzona Wear Resistant Polymers.
In this petrochemical plant's wastewater treatment facility, Belzona helped restore the worn leading edges of screw flights, saving the company a large amount of money in replacement costs and downtime.
Concrete
The concrete in sewer systems is under constant attack from hydrogen sulfide and other aggressive chemicals. Belzona provides long-term protection in these areas.
Belzona products can resist a wide range of chemicals,and therefore are used extensively throughout water and wastewater disinfection systems for repair and protection.
Belzona's polymeric concrete materials repair and rebuild deteriorated concrete. Belzona is ideal for horizontal, vertical, overhead or even underwater repairs!
Waterproofing & Tank Rebuilding
Belzona products can be used to rebuild damaged concrete, metal components and expansion joints, such as these in clarifier tanks. A Belzona Environmental Coating gives added protection and can reduce maintenance costs from the cleaning process.
Belzona provides a range of products suitable for sealing expansion joints, waterproofing concrete structures, and can even solve the problem of live leaks.
Effluent treatment causes many problems, such as in this poultry plant, where cleaning of the pre-treatment tanks has been minimized following the application of a Belzona protective coating.
