Geothermal Energy Plant Rebuilds and Protects Acid Containment Area (ENECON Corporation)

This high pressure acid pump containment area and its pump bases, located at a western U.S. geothermal energy plant, were crumbling and falling apart. These pumps are pumping 3% hydrochloric acid.

After a combination of hydroblasting and manual preparation, 600 sq. ft. of concrete was repaired and rebuilt with ENECRETE DuraFill mixed with locally sourced aggregate.

CHEMCLAD P4C was used to prime all the areas since the DuraFill was not applied to the entire concrete surface. 2 coats of CHEMCLAD XC were then applied to provide maximum chemical protection to this critical containment area.
