The popularity of concrete as the second most used material in the world is no secret. Also, concrete structures, which are derivatives of concrete, are used in various industries in a limited or extensive manner. Industrial effluents that are created in various industries include solid and abrasive particles that need to be settled and separated. Usually, wastewater containing solid particles is stored in a concrete reservoir, which is cheaper to build, so that the suspended abrasive and solid particles settle and separate from the fluid. As mentioned, the solid particles in the reservoir have dynamic movement, which originates from the movement of the fluid. The movement of the fluid and moving the solid particles causes wear on the concrete surface and causes corrosion on the surface of the reservoir. By creating wear on the inner surface of the reservoir, the penetration of fluid into the thickness will also increase and will reduce the life of the concrete reservoir.
In some cases, it has been observed that the wear by solid particles inside the fluid has been so high that it has reached the central core of the concrete and damaged the rebar of the reservoir. With damage to the rebar of the reservoir structure, the integrity of the structure will be jeopardized and finally the fluid will leak out, destroying the entire reservoir is also possible. The traditional methods of fixing the aforementioned defects, such as staining with concrete or grout, will solve the problem in a cross section, and due to the wear of solid particles and the impacts caused by them, they will be destroyed after a while, and the same thing will be repeated. Considering the disadvantages and problems mentioned above, Farasath Zarfam Company has focused its research on it and made its composite coatings compatible with those conditions. By using the composite coatings of Farasath Zarfam Company, due to its surface hardness and the use of various fibers that will be selected depending on the working conditions, the surface of reservoirs with solid particles is well protected and strengthened against their wear. Composite coatings include a polymer base, the choice of which can show good resistance to wear and corrosion.
Over the course of its activity, Farasath Zarfam Company has in various cases covered concrete basins whose effluents have solid particles. The various industries that Farasath Zarfam Company has provided composite coating services to are very diverse. This company has a very long history in the oil and gas industries where the effluent contains suspended particles. Also, in other industries, whose production corrosive effluents had severely affected the concrete basin and had reached the limit of final destruction, it has returned to the cycle using the composite coating designed and implemented by Farasath Zarfam Company.
Farasath Zarfam Company hopes that by using the experience and knowledge gained over the years, will be able to take the necessary measures to meet the needs of respected employers.
