Composite materials are well known for their resistance to highly corrosive environments but for optimal performance it’s essential to select the right resin for each application. For a demanding project at a petrochemicals plant in Saudi Arabia, Ollearis turned to AOC’s Atlac resins, which have a proven track record in challenging industrial processes.
Corrosion-resistant piping and vessels were required for a combustion unit at the SABIC subsidiary Petrokemya (formerly SADAF) petrochemical complex in Jubail (Saudi Arabia). The exhaust gas from the combustion unit contains Hydrochloric Acid which must be neutralized using a wet scrubber system. Fiber reinforced polymer composites provided the ability to withstand the highly corrosive chemicals involved in this process and offered a more cost-effective solution than specialized corrosion-resistant metal alloys.
