Water and Waste Water Industry — Belzona Solutions

Overview

Belzona offers a wide range of epoxy-based repair composites and coatings to repair and protect water and wastewater treatment facilities and equipment from common problems occurring in the industry, including erosion, corrosion, chemical attack, mechanical damage and leaks. Belzona solutions minimize downtime, labour and replacement costs and can extend assets' life for many years.

Repair and Efficiency Enhancement of Fluid Management Systems

Belzona provides a wide range of epoxy repair materials which can be used to repair fluid management systems damaged by the effects of erosion, corrosion and chemical attack. Solvent-free materials such as Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) are formulated to repair deteriorated equipment including pumps, pipes and valves to their original profile and will bond to almost any metal surface.

After the equipment is restored, epoxy coatings such as Belzona 1341 (Supermetalglide) can be used to provide outstanding erosion and corrosion resistance as well as improve efficiency of the equipment from up to 7% on new pumps to 20% on those in service, greatly reducing operating costs.

Concrete Repair of Sewage Systems

Belzona's concrete repair materials and coatings are specifically designed to repair and protect sewage systems from common problems such as concrete spalling, wear and chemical attack as a result of hydrogen sulphide attack, heavy load and erosion. Belzona 4111 (Magma-Quartz) can repair spalling concrete on equipment including settlement tanks and clarifier troughs, ensuring a fast and permanent solution.

Facilities damaged under heavy load like primary settlement tanks can be repaired using high strength materials such as Belzona 4131 (Magma-Screed) and Belzona 4111 (Magma-Quartz), which strongly bond to existing concrete. Brush and spray-applied coatings such as Belzona 5811 (Immersion Grade) provide long-term protection against corrosion and chemical attack thanks to their solvent-free formulation.

Leak Sealing

Expansion joints of tanks and clarifiers can be easily sealed in situ using Belzona elastomers such as Belzona 2211 (MP Hi-Build Elastomer) and Belzona 2111 (D&A Hi-Build Elastomer). Live leaks can be instantly sealed using epoxy repair composites without the need for specialist tools or welding.

In order to protect and add strength to damaged pipes, Belzona's cold-curing pipe wrap system incorporating Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) can be used, providing permanent pipe restoration solutions. Belzona also provides protection of flanges and joints using high strength epoxy materials such as Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) and Belzona 1121 (Super XL-Metal).

Repair and Protection of Mechanically Damaged Equipment

Expensive repair or replacement of mechanically damaged equipment such as shafts can be avoided using Belzona's epoxy repair materials, which allow in-situ repairs without disassembling the shaft, minimizing cost and downtime. Epoxy coatings such as Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) and Belzona 1811 (Ceramic Carbide) are excellent at providing erosion and abrasion resistance to equipment including grit separators, augers and fluid flow equipment, extending the life of the assets.

Protection from Chemical Attack

Belzona epoxy repair composites and coatings provide outstanding chemical resistance against a wide variety of harsh chemicals for equipment including chemical storage tanks and sludge dump trucks. Coatings such as Belzona 4311 (Magma CR1) are ideally suited to protect secondary containment areas from chemicals including acids and alkalis, while Belzona 5811 (Immersion Grade) is excellent for equipment operating under continuous immersion.

Other Application Areas

  • Liquid-applied roof membrane for weatherproofing buildings, structures and insulation
  • Floor coating systems for the protection of concrete and stone floors
  • Safety surfacing polymers for the prevention of slips and to provide positive grip
