Ceramic Polymer: Internal coating of huge gravel filters and activated carbon filter tanks with PROGUARD CN 200

The company W.T.S.-Ludwig Ltd., located in Heidenheim/Germany, fabricates complex devices and tanks for filter technology and water treatment as well as large steel constructions. Furthermore, coating applications for effective corrosion protection are conducted professionally. Recently, W.T.S.-Ludwig produced 6 huge filter tanks for gravel and activated carbon filtration. To provide durable value preservation for the customer, the inner area of the tanks were coated with the system PROGUARD CN 200.

For long-term corrosion protection of gravel filters and activated carbon filters the internal coating has to provide outstanding physical properties. In this case, the main focus is on a supremely high abrasion resistance since gravel, sand and sharp-edged granular activated carbon (GAC) induce heavy abrasion through constant friction.

The product PROGUARD CN 200 offers beside excellent chemical and thermal resistances a high-grade abrasion protection. Thus, the coating is perfectly suitable for this scope of application.

The coating is applied by airless spraying process directly on the prepared substrate – generally only one layer is enough for the corrosion protection.

In this project a thickness of 500 µm was applied. Flanges and holes were treated with brush or roller. The fast curing time of this product also allowed a rapid return to service for the customer.

Technical Details
Tanks: 6 filter vessels
Size: total height 8 m, cylindrical height 6 m, diameter 3 m
Working pressure: 6 bar
Operating temperature: 30 °C
Coating product: Proguard CN 200

Beside the excellent physical properties, the solvent-free coating system PROGUARD CN 200 features a very simple treatment. After blast cleaning, the product is applied directly onto the steel by common airless spraying method.

The ceramic filled PROGUARD CN 200 facilitates a uniform and immaculate coat. One layer of 500 µm already contributes essentially to a long-lasting service life of the tanks.

The Ceramic Polymer GmbH produces high-quality, solvent-free protective coatings for different kinds of industries. Due to the integration of microscopic ceramic and other special particles, coating systems with outstanding physical properties such as excellent chemical resistances, high temperature stabilities and extreme abrasion resistances are generated.
The Ceramic Polymer coatings are applied directly on the blasted substrate (e.g. steel, stainless steel, concrete) without the previous use of a primer. In this way extreme adhesion is achieved.
The scopes of the Ceramic Polymer coatings are for instance all kinds of storage tanks, pipelines or process vessels for the oil & gas industry as well as different maritime constructions, waste water or drinking water applications.
