Contractors & Coating Professionals Applications

  • Coating preparation on steel super-structure at Dos Bocas Marine Terminal (Mexico)

    Coating preparation on steel super-structure at Dos Bocas Marine Terminal (Mexico); the contractor was tasked to remove corrosion and repaint beams while controlling fugitive emissions during blasting - and without interrupting multiple trades or causing seaside contamination. Specifications called for 65micron (2.5 mil) profile with a Near White Metal Blast Cleaning - Sa2.5 (NACE 2 / SSPC SP-10).

  • Tank Coating Removal in Cerrejón Coal Mine; World’s Largest Open-pit Coal Mine

    Sponge-Jet chosen was over ordinary abrasives and slurry blasting to remove failed coatings on this tank-top because dust migration to surrounding worker and surrounding tanks were unacceptable.

  • Taiwanese Plastics Manufacturer Uses Sponge-Jet to Better Realize Life of Tanks

    Taiwanese plastics manufacturer; after premature coating failure on compressed air tanks, the maintenance department relied on the contractor and Sponge-Jet surface preparation with the goal to provide an Sa3 (SSPC SP-5 / NACE 1), White Metal Blast Cleaning finish and match the designed life of the steel tanks.

  • When Productivity was Paramount, Shipyard Adds Sponge Blasters

    With productivity paramount this shipyard added Sponge Blasters; there was no concern about dust and visibility during because Sponge-Jet suppresses dust at the source of generation.

  • Tower Pipes, Flanges and Joints Cleaned with Sponge-Jet without Halting Operations

    Contractor removes corrosion - prepares 1.680m² (18,083 ft²) of in-service refrigeration tower piping, flanges and joints without halting operations at Petrobras’ Landulfo Alves refinery.

  • Why NASA's VIF Fan Rooms Needed Sponge Blasting

    Abrasive blasting is often a dusty process. When contractors are required to blast near highly sensitive equipment or in areas where air quality is very important, they often need to sacrifice superior surface prep methods or erect extreme containment. At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida one contractor was tasked with this difficult challenge - providing the highest quality surface prep and low dust blasting with Sponge Media.

  • Protecting Filter Gallery Pipes for Water Treatment Plant

    When rust, corrosion and coating system failure became apparent on pipes in the filter galleries of the Lafayette Utilities Systems (LUS) water treatment plant, a rehabilitation plan was developed. One of the most important aspects of this plan was to prepare the carbon steel surfaces and create the proper anchor profile for the new coating system. Depending on the severity of the rust and corrosion on various pipe sections, the specifications called for either near white metal blast cleaning or commercial blast cleaning.
