Performance Profile: Pulp Mill bleaching Room
| Manufacturer: | CeRam-Kote Chile, South America |
| Customer: | A Pulp Mill in Chile |
| Applicator: | CeRam-Kote Chile |
A pulp mill that produces chemically bleached pulp presented severe sheet metal corrosion problems on the outside of the bleaching building. The combination of chlorine dioxide gas, peroxide, other chemicals, humidity and temperature destroyed a significant portion of the sheet metal in a period of 18 months.
Solution:
The sheet metal that was in
bad condition was replaced with new sheet metal. As a test, a portion of
the new sheet metal was coated with CeRam-Kote 54®. The rest of the new
sheet metal was installed with the factory-provided coating, as
purchased.
