"Coal Preperation Plant Protection"
Question:
"I
am a mechanical engineering student on vacation employment with
Rio Tinto Coal in the Hunter Valley region of Australia. I have
been asked to put togeather standard paint specifications for
the various pieces of equipment in the coal preperation plant. The
environment in parts of the plant is acidic due to the sulphure
in the coal. Therefore I have broken the environment down into
Internal and External with both being subjected to "General, Wet or Acidic" environmental
conditions, this gives a total of six conditions. I would appreciate
advice in relation to surface preperation, type of coating system,
system selection or any other issues that might impact on the
above."
Answer:
For information on coatings and paint specifications, try browsing the Steel Structures Paint Council web site at: http://www.sspc.org/.
