ProTec, which manages maintenance operations for over thirty offshore rigs, wanted to extend and improve the life of coating systems. They chose to use Silver Sponge Media TM abrasives.The choice was based on the clean, dry, low dust characteristics of Sponge Media abrasives, and their ability to limit over-blasting and most problems common to other blasting technologies: ¦ Over-blasting: ProTec needed to limit damage typically caused by over-blasting. Any undetected over-blasted areas might call for unscheduled and unbudgeted maintenance. Pliant Sponge Media abrasives absorb collision energy, limiting media ricochet to other surfaces. ¦ Sensitivity: ProTec wanted to limit the chances of damage to nearby pumps, process piping, generators and electronic control systems.
