CORROSION
We perform targeted repairs on damaged and corroded system surfaces, ensuring safety and extending the equipment’s lifespan.
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Is corrosion jeopardising the integrity of your assets?
Do you work in plants where chemicals, processes and environmental conditions affect the metals and surfaces of your equipment?
Would you like to prevent future repair and restoration costs and extend the service life of your systems?
GMA SOLUTIONS
Corrosion is the most common cause of degradation in industrial plants. Managing and preventing corrosion requires a combination of skill and technique suited to the specific context of the plant.
GMA is specialised in repairing the damaged and corroded surfaces of industrial equipment, pipes, tanks, condensers, plates, vessels, vats, etc. and can guarantee a return to optimal conditions of all outer and inner surfaces, ensuring long-term safety and performance.
Inner pipes, condensers, heat exchangers

GMA performs anti-corrosion treatments on the inside of pipes and condensers using proprietary and exclusive technology designed to prevent build-up, restore thickness and subsequently protect the surface. The (patented) technology used to line the pipes ensures the even application of each coat even in very long pipes, thin-diameter pipes, bends and elbows. GMA is an official European and international distributor of Phencote HR60 (R), an anti-corrosion pipe lining that protects the inside of pipes and inlets from erosion, featuring excellent anti-adhesion characteristics and excellent resistance to alkaline and acids.

PHENCOTE FOR PIPES

Plates, inlets and water boxes

Condensers and heat exchangers are subject to heavy corrosion phenomena in the plates and pipe inlets, as well as in the water boxes. Repairing the surfaces of plates and condensers requires the use of specific products and technologies. GMA applies high-thickness coatings and resins. This process involves sealing the pipes with plastic caps that protect their profile and prevent cavitations, before applying a high-thickness coat of protective material to the surface, thus restoring the original thickness and performance of the tube bundles.
G.M.A. offers various solutions to protect the water boxes of heat exchangers and condensers against corrosion. The HR60 WB solution is an epoxy coating that offers fast and efficient protection in environments that are not particularly aggressive. It is applied in 2–3 coats with a thickness of 600–800 microns. In particularly aggressive environments or where corrosion phenomena is already underway, the Liner1 system can be applied, a multilayer laminate made with vinyl ether or epoxy resin and reinforced with glass fibre. In the event of specific structural problems, local reinforcement with carbon or aramid (Kevlar) fibre can be applied.

HIGH THICKNESS AND PLATES

Tanks, containers, vats, outer piping

The inner and outer surfaces of tanks, containers, vats and external pipes are treated using special coatings, fillers and in some cases, even composite metals. In the case of through-corrosion requiring structural reinforcement, GMA uses reinforced carbon patches (PRS technology) capable of restoring mechanical performance and repairing damaged parts on both flat surfaces and also complex geometries. GMA ensures compliance with the original weights and tolerances and restores optimal conditions to prevent and treat corrosive phenomena.
