Chemical Process Equipment

FRP chemical process equipment includes reactors, scrubbers, columns, and other vessels where chemical reactions or processing take place. These units are fabricated with seamless fiberglass construction and corrosion-resistant liners (PVC, PP, PVDF, PTFE, etc.). Designed per BS/ASTM/JIS/ASME/RTP standards, they safely handle corrosive fluids and can operate at pressures up to 10 bar. With features like UV and fire-retardant additives available, this equipment is suitable for highly aggressive chemical environments.

Key Features

Built to international design codes (e.g., BS 4994, ASME Section X, ASTM)
Constructed from FRP with premium thermoset resins (isophthalic/vinyl ester/epoxy) or dual FRP/thermoplastic liners
Capable of handling high temperatures (up to ~350 °C) and pressures (up to 10 bar)
Available in any shape (vertical/horizontal, with dished or flat ends) and designed for both vacuum and pressure service
Optional UV-stabilized, flame-retardant, and conductive (for static dissipation) additives

Benefits

Corrosion Resistance: Inert to acids, alkalis and solvents, preventing rust and corrosion for decades
Lightweight & Durable: FRP strength yields high mechanical and impact resistance while being easier to install than metal
Low Maintenance: Long service life (often 15–20+ years) with minimal upkeep and no need for frequent relining
Customizable: Tailored designs to fit plant layouts and process requirements, including special coatings and linings

Applications

Chemical & Petrochemical Plants: Reactors, mixers, separators for acids, bases, petrochemicals
Mining & Fertilizer: Corrosive leach tanks, ore processing vessels
Water/Wastewater: Acid/alkali neutralization, effluent treatment, scrubbers in water treatment
