the pump impeller had been thrown away by the owner. After rebuild, it was put back in service in a lift station. Replacement of impeller would have cost $1,600. Belzona Materials cost $250.
The pump impeller fresh from the scrap pile.

SUCTION BELL
Suction bell for a wastewater treatment plant severely eroded. Replacement coat was $8,000 with a 6-week lead time. It was rebuilt with R metal for $1,200. The tolerances were more accurate than the new suction bell that had recently been purchased & rebuilt in 1999.

Replacement cost is $ 1,000 - $ 1,300 per lobe. Cost of fabricating lobe with Belzona technique is approximately $ 600 per lobe, saving the customer in excess of $ 600.
Damaged lobes from pump.
A perfect mold is made from new lobe using Belzona forming technique.
New lobe casted with 2131.
Inspection six months after installation shows no wear. One year after installation the lobes are operating perfectly.

Concrete platform at wastewater treatment plant
Aeration tank Spalled concrete at railings
Belzona 4111
Patching with Concrete would not work. To replace the slab would have cost thousands of dollars. The Belzona 4111 solution is a quick, easy to install, permanent repair.
Spalled concrete at railing, surface preparation complete.
Application in progress, plywood covered with plastic sheeting being used as a former.
Completed application, concrete reformed with Belzona 4111.
By Mr. Jim Norberg
Concrete crack has caused the aerator (Underground Oxygenation Reactor) loosing pressure, and leaking oxygen. The confined tank was repaired right in place. In order to pour Belzona 4111 into the form, much more portion of Belzona 4151 was used to mix with Belzona 4111. The slurry Belzona 4111 was applied in a cold day.

7 Digester Propellers (actually a tug boat propeller reverse spinning) can only survive one year and costs $ 3500 to replace. Belzona repair with R & S metal on the propeller surface can also last a year but only cost $ 300. And the whole coating application and balancing only took 4 days.
The Similar repetitive repair has been done for 4 consecutive years.

Problem:cost and down time experienced in sending shaft to be machined. After experiencing many cost effective and satisfactory Belzona (see attached 10 major projects in two years) repairs, this company which manages and operates the Jefferson Parish East Bank waste water treatment plant(a state of the art facility) decided to buy their own lathe and have been for the last two machining of shafts constantly looking for new and better ways to cut their cost of operations and enhance the quality of this operation.

When disposing of hazardous wastes, volume is the chief cost. Landfill space is expensive, so it is cost effective to reduce the volume or bulk of the waste disposed. With sludge, the easiest way to cut disposal costs is to not pay to dispose of water. This is where the dewatering process comes into play. The belt press is a common means of drying biosolids. Water is removed by pressing the moving sludge against a porous surface (often with vacuum on the back side to aid in drawing out moisture. The water is drained off, usually back to the treatment process, and the dried cake is removed for further treatment/drying or disposal. After sufficient drying, usually down to about 50 percent moisture content, the sludge may be barged to offshore dumping sites or landfills. In some limited cases this material may be used for soil conditioning fertilization. Additional heat-assisted drying may be required to make the cake suitable for the purposes. The waste sludge is very abrasive, and over a period of time, the elastomeric press wears away unevenly. Brian Burgess has used stainless steel wrapping, and poured in Belzona 2131 (D&A Fluid Elastomer) to form a new 1/2” thick roll. These rolls typically cost in excess of $6,000.

Chemical Storage Tank in a Sewage Treatment Plant
Interior coating had failed, creating large hole near bottom of tank
Belzona Super XL-Metal & Magma CR1
Steel & Epoxy Coating
A grinder was used to clean & roughen the area around the 4” diameter hole. A 2’ X 2’ X ¼ “steel plate was cut & then bent to conform to the contour of the 22’ diameter tank. Super XL-Metal was applied to the cleaned & roughened surface of the tank & also to one side of the curved plate. This pate was then pressed over the hole. More XL-Metal was used around the perimeter. Once cured, the entire area was coated with Magma CR1 for excellent chemical resistance.
Super XL-Metal has excellent adhesion and chemical resistance. Magma CR1 offers excellent chemical resistance for harsher chemicals. The outside of the tank was repaired using the same materials and same techniques, except that a metal plate was not required.
Belzona keeps things moving and fight H2S chemical attack
Municipal Wastewater facility in Northern Florida
Dump truck bed used to haul de-watered sludge from belt press of wastewater treatment plant to land fill.
H2S chemical attack and corrosion of the truck body.
The customer considered once again, using a polyethylene bed liner. The problem with the bed-liner is, as the truck vibrates, moisture gets under the liner and rusts the truck bed. For basically the same cost as a bed-liner, the Belzona system was used. It is anticipated that the Belzona system will outlast the bed-liner by three years, thus offering a substantial saving to the regional wastewater facility. Sticking problem was also resolved at the same time.
