FRP is considered a material of choice for constructing lithium extraction systems from geothermal water or other traditional sources. The chemical environments found in modern extraction systems are extremely corrosive. These systems must be fabricated from durable materials against corrosion, meet mechanical requirements, and perform economically over the plant’s life. This presentation, by Kevin Lambrych of INEOS Composites, compares the corrosion performance of plant equipment fabricated with corrosion-resistant alloys, rubber-lined steel, and FRP made with Epoxy vinyl Ester thermoset resins.
