ENECON’s CHEMCLAD XC was featured in a recent report that examined the improvements in pump efficiency and performance resulting from mechanical refurbishment and coating with brush-on ceramic epoxy coatings.
The overall results of the study showed average efficiency increases of about 12% (5% from mechanical refurbishment, 6% from coating the internal pump casing, and about 1% from impeller coating).
The study concluded that mechanical refurbishment, pump sandblasting and coating are generally needed to return a pump to its original manufacturer curve. Additionally, coated pumps had higher efficiencies and maintained those efficiencies longer than identical pumps that were only sandblasted and not coated.
