A 200-mm-thick reactor is experiencing severe corrosion and erosion in an instrument nozzle, requiring replacement. The replacement process involves complex on-site machining, welding, and heat treatment, which engages multiple suppliers and increases technical risks and costs.
UDDCOMB OPTICLAD® technology offers an efficient alternative by enabling the in-situ repair and refurbishment of small-bore nozzles. Utilizing advanced camera surveillance and internal diameter weld overlay techniques, UDDCOMB OPTICLAD® effectively restores the integrity of nozzles without the need for complete replacements. This innovative solution can operate within nozzles as small as 50 mm in diameter, minimizing downtime and reducing technical challenges.
By applying UDDCOMB OPTICLAD®, the customer avoided the extensive costs and risks associated with complete nozzle replacement. The technology ensured a durable, corrosion-resistant solution, significantly extending the nozzle's lifespan and maintaining the reactor's operational efficiency.
