Protecting FGD Absorbers from Corrosion
FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) absorbers play a critical role in reducing emissions at coal-fired power plants by removing sulfur dioxide from exhaust gasses. Whether it’s a wet or dry process, key areas of these absorbers are prone to corrosion due to the chemicals involved.
With decades of experience, Universal Blastco specializes in lining systems for wet and dry absorbers, including baghouses and ductwork. Our solutions range from vinyl ester coatings, and rubber and brick liners to building FRP spray headers.
Power Industry Corrosion Projects:
Fuel Oil Tank Floor Restoration & Lining
The steel floor was pitted from microbial induced corrosion. If Universal Blastco hadn’t fixed it, the floor would have eventually deteriorated completely from the corrosion.
Power Plant Water Box FRP Liner
Univeral Blastco fixed the structal damage by applying a fiberglass solution, adverting the need for extensive demo and reconstruction.
Demineralization Tanks Rubber Reline
These three demineralization tanks’ interior rubber linings had well exceeded their lifespan.
Coal Conveyor Painting
This coal conveyor’s protective coating system was failing and chipping off.
Secondary Containment and Sump Coatings
Blasting and coating of secondary containment and sump areas.
Steel Surge Tank Coatings
These two new steel surge tanks received a topcoat of Sherwin Williams Acrolon.
Fiberglass Pump Suction Spool Reconstruction
The plant contacted us with concerns about pinholes. We showed up to do the small repair but were able to completely reconstruct the spool in
Circulating Water Pipe Reline with Structural Fiberglass
After the steel portion of this underground circulating water pipe failed, Universal Blastco built an entire structural fiberglass pipe inside of the existing steel pipe.
Steel Tank Reline with Vinyl Ester System
Universal Blastco was contracted to reline 3 steel underflow tanks that had coating failures.
