Effective Border for Chemicals: Coating of Secondary Containment Area for Refinery in Italy
The existing tank pits in an Italian Refinery were heavily damaged; the crude concrete substrate was exposed for years to the harsh influences of weathering and chemical contact. Thus, the concrete cracked and showed substantial erosion defects – high time to build a functional secondary barrier.
Practically as new: The secondary containment area after renewal(firmenpresse) - At filling and reloading points of refineries and other chemical industry sectors a safe secondary containment system is essential. Tanks and basins with hazardous substances, no matter if they are outdoors or within a storage building, need a chemical resistant leakage protection.
The company „Uniresine srl“ conducted the restoration of the tank pits. The area was cleaned and the damaged concrete surfaces were built up new. The application passes of the different coating systems were carried out with conventional hand tools.
Technical Details
Project: Coating of concrete catch basins in a refinery
Tank contents: Toluol and other solvents
Area: 400 m2 (300 m2 floors, 100 m2 walls)
Product requirements: Chemical resistance against storage substances, abrasion stability and non-skid texture
Application of the protection systems – the working steps for safe function and long-term preservation of the concrete tank pits
1. Firstly, the concrete substrate is primed with the CP-SYNTHOFLOOR 8010 by addition of quartz sand.
2. The walls are protected in one step; the top coating PROGUARD CN-1M is applied directly.
3. An intermediate layer is applied on the floor. CERAMIC-POLYMER STP-EP-HV provides an excellent adhesion to the substrate as well as high resistances to abrasion and chemicals.
4. To obtain a skid-proof structure, „Uniresine“ scatters plenty of quartz sand on the wet area. After drying, lose sand is removed.
5. The slip-resistant surface is clearly visible.
6. Now PROGUARD CN-1M is applied as top coat. This high-performance coating is especially designed for extremely aggressive environments – it offers first-class chemical resistance and abrasion stability. Therefore, durable value preservation of the tank pits is achieved.
Unternehmensinformation / Kurzprofil:
The Chesterton International GmbH produces high-quality, solvent-free protective coatings for different kinds of industries. Due to the integration of microscopic ceramic and other special particles, coating systems with outstanding physical properties such as excellent chemical resistances, high temperature stabilities and extreme abrasion resistances are generated.
The Chesterton International coatings are applied directly on the blasted substrate (e.g. steel, stainless steel, concrete) without the previous use of a primer. In this way extreme adhesion is achieved. The scopes of the Chesterton coatings are for instance all kinds of storage tanks, pipelines or process vessels for the oil & gas industry as well as different maritime constructions, waste water or drinking water applications.
