CHEMICAL CONTAINMENTFor this project, we were tasked with creating a specific coating profile for the client’s chemical containment needs. First, we sweep blasted the entire surface to profile the concrete and remove any loose debris from the substrate. Then we sealed the concrete with a specified primer, filling all “bug holes” with a specified putty to a create smooth surface and transition. We then applied specified coatings to the entire surface, making it suitable for this specific chemical containment.

FUEL OIL TANKFor this particular client, we were tasked with refurbishing their deteriorated fuel oil tank. To do so, we used a 4,000 PSI pressure wash treatment to remove all loose coating materials and contamination elements and then prepped all rusted areas with the aid of lead abatement tools since the original coatings on the tank testing positive for lead. To restore the tank to a more pristine condition, we used epoxy to spot prime all areas that were prepped to cleaned. To finish it off, we used a full top coat of urethane to further protect the substrate and epoxy coating from UV rays and weathering.

HIGH TEMP COATINGWith this project, we were assigned to reinforcing the coatings on the HRSG that have failed or “weathered out”. To do so, we pressure washed the generator with 5,000 PSI to remove any loose coating or foreign matter from the surface. We then used a power tool to clean and spot prime and then sprayed a high temp coating over the entire surface of the HRSG. This was completed while the unit was in operation. The coating is a “Dry Fall” material that eliminates all overspray on or near by equipment or other contractors.

UNDERGROUND PIPINGFor this project, we were tasked with coating a new, underground gas line that was in operation. Because safety is top priority for us at Taylor’s Industrial Coatings, we slurry blasted the pipe with the aid of water to prevent any sparks or dust in the area. We then blasted the pipe to SSPC SP 10, near white metal with a surface profile of 2.5-4 mils. Next we applied two coats of epoxy to the entire surface and turned the pipe back over to the customer.

7FA TURBINE BELL MOUTHThis client came to us with a 7FA Turbine Bell Mouth Inlet that was sending small rust particles into the turbine. We built an impenetrable containment inside the bell mouth of the turbine and grit blasted the entire Bell Mouth to a SSPC SP 5 white metal blast. We then applied three coats of epoxy to the surface, firstly with a full top coat using the airless spray method, secondly with a stripe coat using brush and roll to all hard to reach areas and sharp edges, and then thirdly with another full coat via airless spray. The finished result was smoothly sealed, updated Bell Mouth.

EXTERIOR RE-COATINGFor this project, we were tasked with cleaning the exterior of circulating water pipes in a power facility. Our crew pressure washed with 4,000 PSI to remove any loose coating, mildew, contaminations, or foreign matter from the surface. We then power tool cleaned all bare metal areas to the SSPC standard SSPC-SP 3. Lastly, we spot primed with epoxy and fully top coated with a urethan coating.

INTERIOR LININGFor this project, we were assigned with cleaning the interior of a circulating water box. The interior was heavily corroded with marine growth and pitting in the surface. Our crews grit blasted the entire surface to a SSPC-SP 5 white metal blast and applied a ceramic putty to all pitted areas for repair. We then applied two coats of epoxy at 25 mils each, which is a system that is 100% solids epoxy. Lastly, we holiday tested for any pin holes and low DFT’s in the coaching and then turned it back over to the customer for operation.
