Company: EEC International Contact: Mr Emmitt W. Hall, III, Shared services, Project engineer In Kaolin production, the kaolin is dried in so called spray dryers. Kaolin slurry is sprayed into a gas flame of 1050°F (566°C) where the kaolin is dried to powder that is falling down to the bottom of the spray dryer and transported away to a silo. The surface temperature of the spray dryer is 400°F (205°C) and the spray dryer is insulated...

CORROSION CONTROL THROUGH MICRO-POROUS DRY TECHNOLOGY Rust is caused by the influence of water, oxygen and time. Air pollution and contaminants on steel surfaces speed up the corrosion process. When corrosion is caused by condensation water, a micorporous coating can considerably enhance traditional corrosion protection in 4 distinct ways: 1. It delays the forming of condensation on the surface 2. It absorbs the condensation into the...

Construction – 1818 Location – Basement Existing Condition All below grade walls showed signs of extensive water infiltration and the existing coatings were delaminating on all affected walls. At the customers request no abrasive blasting was done All affected walls were hand scraped to remove as much of the existing coating as possible. Severely deteriorated mortar joints were repaired using repair mortar mix with acrylic...

NorØrn The Problem Modern fishing boats are more or less floating food-processing factories. Most of the North European and Canadian fishing fleets operate in arctic waters, where the outdoor temperatures can be very low; -30°C or below. The climate inside the ship is room temperature and the relative humidity, RH, is generally rather high due to the processing of fish. It is unavoidable that vapour...

Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Skibsrederi use Kefa in their Gear Bulk ships for transportation of paper and pulp. The first series of three bulk ships were built in 1990/91. When in 2000 a new series of similar ships were to be built Kefa was specified as condensation protection, due to the good experience of the product. The Problem Paper pulp release large quantities of water during the transport. This water condenses in the roof of the...

Johannesburg, South Africa Problem: After expanding parking facilities in 1995 to include areas above the existing parking garage, extensive seepage began in the parking structure below. Existing Condition in 1996: Extensive efflorescence, salts and contaminates. Damage to vehicles as high as $30,000.00 for one month as well as slip hazards at walking surfaces. Preparation: In 1996 All surfaces were cleaned using wire brushes to...
