Currently, over 94% of sugar mills in Australia use Rapp-it for emergency pipe repair needs. Rapp-it is suitable for use on corrosive fluid and acid lines. It is ideal for use on the phosphoric acid lines commonly involved in the sugar milling process.
SCOPE
The customer had an overhead leak in a corroded line at 2 o’clock in the morning. The pipe required urgent repair, as water spillage on the ground was creating a safety hazard for staff accessing the area.
SOLUTION
The pressure in the line was reduced and the corroded area was cleaned and roughened. The leak was stemmed with Rapp-it Steel Putty and a Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage (100mm x 9m) applied over the top. The line was back up and running at full capacity 30 minutes after application.
