Several small gas leaks had developed in the rear plate of a metal enclosure around a storage tankโs fl**ge connection. Beneath the insulation, parts of the damaged area were difficult to reach.
Before a repair could begin, the team needed to expose the damage and prepare the metal surface. Working in an ATEX zone made the choice of tools particularly important.
Using the Allmet A-0155 Surface Grinder with the A-0500 Grinding Disc, the team carried out the surface preparation using a cold work method and within the siteโs safety requirements.
The prepared area was then repaired with Belzona 1511 and reinforced with Belzona SuperWrap II.
โ
Surface preparation and repair completed during a one-day shutdown.
โ
No further leakage observed following the repair.
โ
Insulation reinstated.
A practical example of how Allmet surface preparation method and a cold-applied repair method can tackle a challenging job where access is limited and restricted with a tight deadline.
