Problem: City of Camas (Washington) Wastewater Treatment Facility was experiencing rapid corrosion around a clarifier drive unit.

Solution: The facility hired Rebuild-It Services Group to retrofit the flat tank cover to take in air near the center of the clarifier and exhaust the air in two locations instead of one. The corroded drive was repaired and coated with aliphatic amine epoxy. 

Result: Gases no longer escape the tank through the drive unit opening. The rapid corrosion has been corrected and the drive is running smoothly. 888-709-5676; www.rebuild-it.com
