Fascicula de Inginerie %D 2010 %I Eftimie Murgu University of Resita %X During operation process, industrial pumps are subjected to wear and corrosion that often lead to various physical damages and functional faults. Although this is not a habitual case, when occurs, it is very ex-pensive to replace the affected parts with new ones and in most of situations this isn¡¯t the best problem solving. A way to deal with this type of problem at pumping stations is rehabilitation of plant units. The present paper describes a solution to rehabilitate worn pumps using CERAMITECH treatments based on epoxy resin and polyamine-amides reinforced with carbide and ceramic particles. Also it shows measure-ments before and after using the treatment. %K pump %K treatment %K characteristic curve %K CERAMITECH %U http://anale-ing.uem.ro/2010/20_C.pdf
