World-class surface preparation and anti-corrosion / anti-erosion coating services backed by Hodge Clemco enclosed blasting technology and Graco airless spray systems.
With its extensive experience in the Middle East with multinational and national companies in the offshore and onshore oil and gas industry, BEV understands the importance of surface preparation and application of anti-corrosion / anti-erosion coatings and places high significance to this phase of each project.
BEV has a high-end totally enclosed grit blasting room of size 16 M (L) × 8 M (W) × 6 M (H) with automatic grit dispensing, recovery and recycling systems and a dust collection system to Euro III norms. The complete system is imported from Hodge Clemco, UK — the world leader in grit blasting systems.
A 55 kW Screw Compressor delivers 300 CFM oil-free compressed air at 7.5 bar. A custom-built air receiver of 5 m³ capacity and a refrigerant air drier of 350 CFM capacity ensures supply of clean dry air for grit blasting.
The system has 4 blast pots each of 200 lit capacity with tungsten carbide nozzles and safety paraphernalia such as dead man’s handle, blaster’s helmet, full body coverall etc. We use a combination of GL 25 angular steel grit of 60 HRC and steel shots to achieve Sa 2½ or Sa 3 finish.
