Merits and Considerations for FRP Loose Linings

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) provides a reliable solution for many corrosion concerns in Hydromet and chemical processing. With longer service life and greater reliability, FRP linings are replacing rubber lining options in clarifiers, thickeners, and similar large vessels.

In this technical presentation from our Plant Engineers Forum, president Jeff Eisenman explores the advantages and critical engineering considerations associated with FRP loose linings vs. bonded linings in steel and concrete vessels.

Topics covered include thermal expansion differential management, anchor stud design, vacuum resistance, and field inspection techniques during installation.
