Fire Protection and Industrial Coating Systems for Power Plants

Advanced Protection for Critical Energy Infrastructure

Power plants — whether thermal, gas-fired, or hydroelectric — operate under extreme conditions. Continuous exposure to heat, moisture, vibration, and chemical contaminants places immense stress on structural steel, machinery, and auxiliary systems. Additionally, fire hazards and corrosion can compromise operational safety, efficiency, and asset longevity.

At Junhui Technology, we specialize in fire protection and industrial coating systems engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern power generation facilities. Our solutions enhance structural safety, corrosion resistance, and operational reliability, ensuring plants remain productive while complying with global safety and environmental standards.


Key Challenges in Power Plant Environments

Power plants face a unique set of environmental and operational hazards:

  1. High Thermal Stress: Boilers, turbines, and exhaust systems operate at extreme temperatures, accelerating material fatigue.

  2. Corrosion & Chemical Attack: Condensate, flue gases, and water treatment chemicals attack steel surfaces, pipelines, and support structures.

  3. Fire Risk: Electrical faults, fuel leaks, and high-temperature equipment present continuous fire hazards.

  4. Moisture & Humidity: Cooling towers, condensers, and intake channels face constant wet-dry cycles, promoting oxidation and coating degradation.

Junhui Technology’s coating solutions are designed to mitigate these risks while reducing maintenance cycles and enhancing the lifespan of power plant assets.


Fire Protection Coatings: Ensuring Safety in Critical Areas

Fire incidents in power plants can cause catastrophic equipment damage and operational shutdowns. Junhui Technology provides intumescent and cementitious fireproof coatings for steel structures, cable trays, and equipment enclosures.

How It Works

Upon exposure to high temperatures, our intumescent coatings expand into a dense char layer, insulating structural steel and preventing temperature-induced failure. This passive fire protection maintains structural integrity for extended periods, allowing evacuation, emergency response, and asset preservation.

Applications

  • Boiler rooms and turbine halls: Protect steel frames, ducting, and support beams from heat-induced collapse.

  • Electrical control rooms and switchgear: Contain electrical fires and prevent cascading failures.

  • Fuel handling and storage areas: Mitigate hydrocarbon and gas fire risks.

  • Auxiliary buildings: Preserve structural integrity in maintenance workshops, chemical storage, and administrative zones.

All Junhui fireproof coatings are tested to meet UL 1709, ASTM E119, NFPA 251, and ISO 834 fire standards for industrial and hydrocarbon exposure.


Industrial Protective Coatings: Fighting Corrosion and Wear

Corrosion in power plants is a leading cause of downtime and repair costs. From wet cooling systems to flue gas stacks, metal structures are constantly attacked by moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations.

Junhui Technology offers multi-layer industrial coatings that provide robust protection against both chemical attack and mechanical wear.

1. High-Build Epoxy Systems

Our epoxy coatings provide excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and impermeability. They are ideal for boiler piping, condensate lines, and cooling water channels where chemical and thermal stress is high.

2. Polyurethane Topcoats

For exterior structures, pipelines, and cooling towers, our polyurethane coatings offer UV stability, color retention, and abrasion resistance, maintaining both protection and aesthetics over decades.

3. Zinc-Rich Primers

Structural steel elements, especially in damp or exposed areas, benefit from cathodic protection provided by zinc-rich primers, preventing early corrosion even if coatings are scratched or damaged.

4. Specialty Chemical-Resistant Linings

Tanks, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) units, and chemical dosing systems utilize phenolic epoxy and novolac linings capable of withstanding acids, alkalis, and process chemicals at elevated temperatures.


Technical Performance Metrics

Junhui Technology coatings undergo rigorous testing to ensure reliability in the challenging power plant environment:
