Anti rust cooling tower pipe

Anti rust cooling tower pipe

These thirty six inch cooling tower supply pipes sit atop of an Atlantic City, NJ casino.  Because of the building’s close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, the pipes had advanced corrosion damage that needed to be repaired to prevent serious future problems.

The local ENECON Fluid Flow Systems Specialist suggested a repair and protection system that has been used on pipes like these in countless applications.

The pipes were first prepared by grinding and scraping to remove loose pieces of corroded pipe and the existing, failed paint.  ENECON’s rust converter, ENESEAL RC, was applied to convert the rust to a black iron oxide barrier.  Three coats of ENESEAL CR were then applied to provide the pipes with long-term corrosion protection in this harsh marine environment.

Leaking repair and anti rust the large pipe

Leaking repair and anti rust the large pipe

Large, underground pipes located at a water treatment plant in the northeastern US were leaking after years in service and gradual corrosion. The plant needed a solution that would not only stop the leaking, but also protect these pipes from future corrosion issues.

The local ENECON Field Engineering Specialist was called in and he recommended an installation of DuraWrap, ENECON’s Carbon Fiber Pipe Wrap System.

The pipes were first grit blasted to a 3 mil, white metal profile. Since the pipes remained in service, any active leaks were stopped with METALCLAD SpeedAlloy QS and SpeedAlloy. Any other problem areas with pitting or corrosion damage were repaired with the DuraWrap Primer.

The carbon fiber was then applied to the pipes to restore their integrity. A final encapsulation with ENESEAL CR was done to help prevent any surface corrosion on the pipes in the years to come.

Nuclear plant refurbishes clarifier-digester tank

The wastewater treatment department of a nuclear power plant in Florida needed to repair a combination steel clarifier / digester tank that held raw sewage.

Measuring 12’ x 40’ and partially buried, the inside of the tank had severe corrosion damage. The maintenance team contacted the local ENECON Field Engineering Specialist to recommend a solution to this problem that needed to be solved quickly and on a budget.

After the tank was drained and cleaned, the inside of the tank was grit blasted. Some welding repairs were made followed by some repairs made with DurAlloy.

Two coats of CHEMCLAD GP were then used to protect the inside of the tank, providing chemical resistance in that harsh environment. The outside of the tank was given three coats of ENESEAL CR.

After the plant’s maintenance team saw the finished exterior of the tank, they requested the same process be done to the exterior of some nearby concrete holding tanks.

The tanks were cleaned with a high pressure washer followed by three coats of ENESEAL CR. The concrete tanks were the finishing touch on an extremely successful ‘ENECON to the rescue’ application.

Eneseal CR protecting train roofs

Eneseal CR protecting train roofs

An historic, luxury, scenic train company in Canada was looking for a product to apply to the roofs of their train cars while performing restoration maintenance.

The local ENECON Distributor in Alberta was contacted and recommended a custom black tinted ENESEAL CR. This was the perfect solution as the maintenance managers did not want to do any abrasive blast to the exterior of the train cars.

After the successful application to the train car roofs, the ENECON Distributor was asked to apply safety yellow stripes on the floor of the train depot.
