The Petro Chemical industry relies heavily on thermal spray coating technology to extend the life of their most critical process equipment. Down times are cut to a fraction with the rapid turn around capability of thermal spray technology. Components being remanufactured with the assistance of thermal spraying are returned to service in better than new condition. The service life of expensive process components can be extended almost indefinitely with thermal spray repairs. In years past, many types of equipment would be discarded after running its course but with advancement in the thermal spray industry, equipment can be rebuilt over and over again. Below is a partial list of petro chemical components which are routinely repaired with thermal spray technology
