Key exhibitors at the 57th IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Conference:
3L&T
Severe corrosion and abrasion can be very serious problems for cement plants. Equipment like bag house filters, stacks, ducts, fans and kilns experience corrosion and abrasion damage. 3L&T has developed several coatings, some organic, some hybrid and some ceramic to protect these equipment from damage and extend their useful life. Our materials initially have been applied to stop the corrosion/abrasion visible during inspections. More recently they are installed in new equipment, before the corrosion starts.
