Development of Portable Garnet Blasting Unit for New Shipbuilding

Development of Portable Garnet Blasting Unit for New Shipbuilding
Available for download

In this study, a new portable garnet blasting unit targets for weld joints in W.B.T. was developed. The field data clearly indicated that the potable garnet blasting method can be a valuable tool for small damaged area and weld seam in confined area with increase in the blasting productivity by 20%. In order to predict and optimize the pressure drop and air consumption in air blasting system, semi-empirical equations have been developed

Proper choice and combination of surface preparation and coating material determine the fate of the coated film especially under corrosive and sea water immersion environments. For new shipbuilding, the application of blasting surface treatment, which provides better coating performance, is practically implausible for the weld seams in Water Ballast tank (W.B.T.) due to difficulties in those confined spaces, as well as due to secondary contamination or damage of adjacent coatings. The pressing needs for most shipyards are to prepare the proper countermeasure and develop the alternative surface preparation technologies, which can improve the productivity of surface treatment process without compromising coating’s performance.

The drive to embellish and beautify our surroundings is a human motivation that bridges both culture and time. From vases to vaulted ceilings, across the globe we captivate ourselves with ornament, decorating the objects that we create, the homes we live in and the spaces in which we work and worship. Examples of decorative painting can be found from the earliest moments of man’s existence and have evolved throughout history in synchronicity with our life styles; expressing our tastes, our status, our standards and values.

This paper will focus on the application of polymeric coatings and linings, which include, but are not limited to, polyamine and novolac epoxies and vinyl esters. These materials are delivered to the job site in buckets or bags and are mixed and applied on-site, and it is the responsibility of the owner, engineer and material supplier to determine the type of material and coating system to specify for any particular project.
