Fiberglass (FRP) Pipe for Power Plants & Flue-gas Desulfurization (FGD)

FRP equipment and piping is used for many applications in the power industry. Some of these include slurry piping, FGD absorber spray headers, sea water cooling, circulating water systems, SO2 duct, stacks and chimney liners, cooling tower pipe, process vessels and storage tanks.

In the early part of the last decade, coal-fired power plants were beginning to retrofit with flue gas desulphurization (FGD) absorbers to remove SO2 exhaust gases released to the atmosphere. This required significant amounts of fiberglass piping. These absorbers utilize limestone slurry to scrub the gases and therefore require fiberglass pipe that is abrasion resistant as well as corrosion resistant.

Because Fibrex specializes in small-bore chemical pipe, large-bore recycle pipe and absorber spray header systems, the Company is more efficient by not continually switching to other product types such as tanks.
