Cooling Tower Refurbishment - Epoxy Coating
Cooling towers are essential components in industrial and commercial Industries, helping regulate temperatures and maintain operational efficiency. However, over time, exposure to, chemicals, and environmental factors can lead to corrosion, compromising the tower’s performance and longevity.
Our Recent Cooling Tower Refurbishment Project
We were recently commissioned to restore a heavily corroded cooling tower, which had suffered significant internal and external deterioration due to rust and chemical exposure. Both surfaces required extensive preparation before recoating to ensure a durable and long-lasting solution.
The Restoration Process
- Surface Preparation: The first step involved sandblasting the internal and external components of the Cooling Tower. This process effectively removed rust and contaminants, creating a clean and roughened surface for optimal coating adhesion.
- Epoxy Coating Application: Once the surfaces were properly prepared, we applied 3 coats of Amerock 400 a proven high-performance epoxy coating designed to withstand the harsh conditions Cooling Towers endure.
- Final Inspection: After the coating cured, we conducted a thorough quality check to ensure complete coverage and adherence.
The result? A fully refurbished Cooling Tower with enhanced durability and protection against corrosion. The client was highly satisfied with the transformation and the improved lifespan of their equipment.
The Benefits of Epoxy Coating for Cooling Towers
Epoxy coating is a highly effective solution for extending the life and efficiency of cooling towers. Here’s why:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Epoxy forms a moisture-resistant barrier that protects metal surfaces from rust and deterioration.
- Chemical & Wear Protection: It shields components from harsh chemicals, reducing degradation over time.
- Extended Equipment Lifespan: By preventing corrosion, the coating helps Cooling Towers last longer with fewer repairs.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Reduced wear and tear mean less frequent maintenance, saving time and money.
- Improved Efficiency: A well-maintained Cooling Tower operates more efficiently, optimising energy use and system performance.
Investing in Long-Term Cooling Tower Protection
By investing in an epoxy coating solution, it will extend equipment lifespan and improve overall operational efficiency.
If your Cooling Tower is showing signs of corrosion or wear, consider a professional refurbishment.
