Unique Polymer Solutions

What are the key maintenance challenges in power generation facilities?

Power generation infrastructure is exposed to extreme operating conditions, including high temperatures, chemical attack, mechanical fatigue, and erosion. Whether it’s a thermal power station or a renewable energy plant, asset degradation can lead to unexpected failures, safety risks, and costly outages.

Common Issues in Power Plants:

Thermal cycling and high-temperature exposure in boilers, turbines, and exhaust systems
Erosion and corrosion in pumps, fans, pipework, and cooling systems
Mechanical wear and fatigue on rotating machinery and flow equipment
Chemical attack in water treatment and fuel processing systems
Structural degradation of cooling towers, tanks, ducts, and containment areas

Without effective protection and rapid repair strategies, operational reliability and asset lifespan are severely compromised.

How can protective coatings improve reliability in power generation environments?

At UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS (UPS), we offer a full range of industrial-grade protective coatings designed to withstand the harsh physical, thermal, and chemical stress found in power generation environments.

Our Coating Technologies Include:

High-temperature coatings – for boilers, turbine exteriors, heat exchangers, and exhaust stacks
Abrasion- and erosion-resistant coatings – for impellers, pumps, fans, and cooling equipment
Corrosion protection systems – for condensers, ducting, steel frameworks, and heat transfer units
Chemical-resistant linings – for water treatment tanks, dosing systems, bunds, and containment areas
Elastomeric coatings – ideal for vibration-prone components and flexible joints

All coatings are solvent-free, fast-curing, and designed for easy application with minimal disruption to plant operations.

What composite repair systems are used in power generation facilities?

When components fail or degrade, UPS composite repair systems offer a fast, cost-effective, and non-intrusive alternative to full equipment replacement — eliminating the need for shutdown or hot work.

Composite Repair Applications Include:

Metal repair compounds – rebuild worn pump housings, casings, shafts, and impellers
Pipe wrap and reinforcement systems – seal and strengthen leaking or corroded pipework, steam lines, and fluid systems
Structural reinforcement materials – restore integrity to ducts, cooling towers, tanks, and load-bearing infrastructure
Emergency sealing kits – deliver rapid leak containment for valves, joints, and fittings

These solutions are field-applicable, quick-curing, and engineered for high-performance in demanding thermal and mechanical conditions.

Where are UPS coatings and repairs used in the power generation sector?

Our protective and repair technologies are used extensively across all types of energy production environments:

Coal-fired power plants – pump repair, boiler insulation coating, structural steel protection
Gas turbine stations – turbine housing repair, exhaust stack coating, ductwork sealing
Nuclear facilities – bund coatings, pipe sealing, chemical containment compatibility
Hydroelectric plants – gate protection, penstock linings, concrete repair
Biomass and CHP plants – corrosion-resistant coatings, abrasion protection, chemical bund lining
Renewable energy sites – coating and protection for pipework, cooling infrastructure, and fluid systems

What benefits do UPS solutions bring to power generation facilities?

Extended service life of critical equipment and infrastructure
Reduced maintenance and replacement costs
Minimised downtime and maximised energy production uptime
Enhanced safety, compliance, and environmental performance
Fast application and in-situ repair systems for efficient asset recovery
