Using dehumidification in shipyards has been a widely accepted practice for three decades. A lot has been learned and techniques have become much more sophisticated but the basic goal of preserving the blasted steel and creating the right conditions for coatings application remains the same. This paper discusses how various combinations of desiccant dehumidification, heating and cooling equipment have been utilized properly and some examples of when things did not work out so well.
This presentation will outline the results and conclusions of a number of years of testing and experience in surface preparation for high-performance coatings. Testing has shown that there are several important variables that are not routinely monitored and controlled on most coating projects. The pertinent variables will be identified, and guidance will be provided on appropriate treatment of the variables to achieve the maximum results from the chosen coating.

There have been specifications written for the use of dehumidification during surface preparation and coatings since the early nineties. These early specs keyed in on parameters that were believed to get the job done and reflected the limited knowledge and experience of a very new industry. Since then, dehumidification has become much more widely accepted and specifications exist for pipes, above ground storage tanks, ships and containments.
In this study, a new portable garnet blasting unit targets for weld joints in W.B.T. was developed. The field data clearly indicated that the potable garnet blasting method can be a valuable tool for small damaged area and weld seam in confined area with increase in the blasting productivity by 20%. In order to predict and optimize the pressure drop and air consumption in air blasting system, semi-empirical equations have been developed
