FRP for Chemical, Oil & Gas
Storage, reaction and scrubbing equipment for the most aggressive chemistry.
For chemical processing and petro-chemical plants, Crimar builds FRP storage and reaction tanks, scrubbers, ductwork, piping and linings matched to the most aggressive media — from hot acid and oxidizers to solvents and brine.
The challenge
Acids, caustics, solvents, oxidizers and brines each demand a specific corrosion barrier and resin. The wrong laminate fails fast; the right one lasts for decades. Getting the resin, barrier and veil right for the exact chemistry, temperature and concentration is the whole job.
How Crimar helps
We match Dow Derakane and isophthalic resin systems to your service — chlorine and oxidizers, hot acid, solvents or brine — and build tanks, vessels, scrubbers and pipe to ASME RTP-1. Where replacement isn’t practical, we apply FRP linings to existing steel and concrete equipment.
What we supply
- Storage, mixing & reaction vessels
- Scrubbers & absorption towers
- Chemical-resistant piping & duct
- FRP tank & floor lining for existing steel/concrete
- Covers for hot acid & chemical vapors
Materials & construction
We specify Derakane 411 (general), 470HT (high temperature), 510A (oxidizing/chlorine) and 8084 (abrasion/elastomer-modified), plus AROPOL isophthalic for general duty — each with a corrosion barrier and veil selected for the chemistry.
Standards
- ASME RTP-1
- ASTM D3299 / D4097
- API RP 652 (tank linings)
