Phil Barker, Southern Water director of operations, explained: "We have spent more than £10M in recent months to maintain services for customers, including using tanker lorries and temporary pumps to remove huge amounts of water from our sewers. These are emergency Tank repairs Belzona www.belzona.com Belzona cold plate bonding technology has been used to repair a sludge buffer tank at a Wessex Water sewage treatment plant that was suffering from through-wall corrosion at the vapour interface level. The tank was fabricated from glass fused to steel (GFS). The repair, carried out by a team of two from Belzona Technosol, Belzona's application division, involved steel plates to cover the leak areas. After general cleaning to remove some contaminants, surface preparation by hand abrasion was carried out to ensure good mechani- cal adhesion. Belzona surface-tolerant epoxies were selected for this repair situation due to the fact that these measures to allow households and businesses to continue to dispose of their wastewater. "These new transportable tanks use bacteria to treat the flows from our pumps on site - something which has not been possible before." The company estimates that each tank can improve the quality of the water treated by as much as 40%. The tanks also allow more oxygen to be applied during the treatment process, helping to maintain the natural balance of rivers and streams for local wildlife. materials are easily applied on-line to wet and oily surfaces where only minimal surface preparation is possible. Tensile share adhesion of Belzona 1831 (Super UW-Metal) when tested in accordance with ASTM D1002 to wet abraded steel is 1,600psi (11MPa) and to oily abraded steel – 1,300psi (9MPa). This solution kept the site running with minimal disruption and was completed without hot work or the use of mechanical equipment, hence presenting no risk of sparks or damage to existing lining.
