Overboard outlets are often such a weak link.
Many of the cases we see, concerns failures of overboard outlets. When a new overboard outlet has to be installed we recommend a 600-micron layer of protective Wencon Hi-Temp Coating.
We have also seen cases where the corrosion had been discovered before the damage was too extensive, in these cases the outlet could be rebuilt and coated for future protection.
Overboard Hull protection
The hull is likewise exposed to the corrosive flow around the overboard outlets.
Shipowners are recommended to apply a protective coating in a 2 m diameter around the outlets, we recommend Wencon Hi-Temp Coating, which offers high resistance to the contents from the scrubber wash water.
After the application, the area is finished off with ship’s own paint and will provide increased corrosion protection.
GRE Scrubber Pipe Repair Kit
GRE pipes have proven the most resilient to the Scrubber wash water, but when they crack or disconnect because of pressure failures, or i.e., welding damage, a good and fast solution has been in high demand.
We have successfully supplied several hundred vessels with a specific GRE pipe repair kit, using our well-proven method of wrapping the section of damaged pipe with interchanging layers of fiber reinforcement tape and Wencon UW Coating.
The Wencon UW Coating makes it possible to start the application of the coating to the pipes when the area is still wet. This allows for the vessel to be back in operation 8-10 hrs. after the application has been completed.
