COAL FIRED POWER STATION CASE STUDY

Rapp-it can be used on air heater, water, slurry, hot ash and chute pipe-works found widely through coal fired power stations. Temperatures here can range from 0°C to 140°C.

SCOPE

The customer advised the coal discharge chute had a leak. This would require a replacement, however, the power station was unable to stop coal handling processes.

SOLUTION

The customer used Rapp-it Steel Putty and applied several Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandages (100mm x 4.8m) to fix the damaged chute. This allowed the customer to continue preparing the coal for export until a maintenance shutdown could be scheduled.
