Rehabilitation of Plant Units at Pumping StationsKeywords: pump , treatment , characteristic curve , CERAMITECH Abstract: 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.
