ACID-RESISTANT LININGS & CHEMICAL PROTECTION
Nuvo specifies and installs chemically resistant lining systems selected against the actual exposure profile — concentration, temperature and dwell time — with full substrate preparation, detailing at penetrations and upstands, and holiday testing where required.
- Acid and chemical bunds
- Process and plant rooms
- Battery and dosing areas
- Effluent channels and sumps
- Mineral processing floors
Installed systemAcid-resistant lining to a chemical bund — plant and dosing area
Process areas, bunds and containment structures exposed to acids, alkalis and process effluent degrade rapidly. Concrete is attacked, reinforcement corrodes and contamination escapes the containment envelope.
Nuvo specifies and installs chemically resistant lining systems selected against the actual exposure profile — concentration, temperature and dwell time — with full substrate preparation, detailing at penetrations and upstands, and holiday testing where required.
Exposure survey covering the chemicals present, their concentration and temperature, and how long they dwell on the surface; substrate soundness and contamination checks; moisture testing where the slab is ground-bearing.
- Chemically resistant lining and coating systems
- Substrate repair mortars ahead of lining
- Detailing to upstands, penetrations and terminations
Mechanical preparation to the required profile, substrate reinstatement, then lining applied in specified coats. Work is phased around plant operation where the area cannot be fully released.
- Substrate profile and moisture verified before application
- Wet-film and coat-count checks during application
- Holiday (pinhole) testing where the system requires it
- Documented handover with maintenance guidance
