Power & Utilities Industry
Comprehensive FRP engineering, inspection, and material testing for power plants, flue gas desulfurization (FGD), cooling water, and utility infrastructure.
Engineering Reliability for Power Generation
Modern power generation facilities require reliable equipment that can endure extreme thermal cycles, aggressive sulfur dioxide gas streams, abrasive slurry flows, and corrosive cooling water loops. Maverick Applied Science provides specialized FRP, dual laminate, and thermoplastic engineering solutions designed to maximize plant uptime and safeguard infrastructure.
“From FGD absorbers and chimney stack liners to massive cooling water loops, we bring decades of nonmetallic engineering excellence to ensure your power plant stays online safely.”
Our Power Utility Services
FGD Absorber & Ductwork Design
Custom structural and chemical engineering for Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers, mist eliminators, spray headers, and large gas ducting to handle hot acid gas condensates.
Circulating Water Pipe Stress Analysis
Finite element analysis (FEA) and pipe stress modeling for large-diameter FRP buried and above-ground cooling water piping under hydraulic surge and soil pressure.
FRP Chimney Stack Liner Engineering
Design and fitness-for-service evaluation of freestanding and supported fiberglass stack liners exposed to flue gas condensate, thermal cycles, and high wind loads.
Outage Inspection & Condition Assessment
Rapid response turnaround and scheduled outage inspections of scrubbers, tanks, and piping using non-destructive methods to prevent forced plant outages.
Abrasion-Resistant Ash Handling Lines
Specially formulated ceramic-filled and carbide-reinforced vinyl ester piping systems designed to withstand highly erosive bottom ash and fly ash slurry service.
Water Demineralization System Integrity
Engineering and inspection of thermoplastic and dual laminate piping for boiler feed water, ion exchange regeneration acids, and caustic dosing loops.
Applications

Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) & Scrubbers
Coal-fired and biomass power facilities depend on FGD wet scrubbers to neutralize sulfur dioxide (SO2). Acidic condensates, gypsum slurry abrasion, and high temperatures require resin-rich vinyl ester FRP vessel shells, internal spray headers, slurry recycle loops, and limestone slurry piping engineered for severe chemical and mechanical attack.
