Expert Fiberglass Scrubber Repair and Maintenance Services

American Fiberglass Tank Repair supports FRP scrubber systems with corrosion-lining restoration, ductwork repair, nozzle and port modifications, structural laminate repair, inspection, and planned maintenance. Crews work with compatible polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resin systems and more than 45 fiberglass mat, veil, and reinforcement options to match chemical exposure, temperature, and service conditions.

In many cases, yes. Scrubber liners, duct sections, ports, and localized structural damage can often be repaired or relined in place. A detailed inspection determines whether the corrosion barrier, structural body, or interfaces are compromised. Repairing the existing asset can reduce capital expense, avoid long replacement lead times, and limit operational disruption.

Yes. AFTR provides 24/7 emergency FRP service for urgent damage, including leaks, impact damage, lining failure, and unexpected structural concerns. Field crews can mobilize with Service-Pack containers stocked with resins, mat, veil, and repair equipment, allowing technicians to begin assessment and repair work quickly once site access and safety requirements are met.

Inspection may include visual review, instrument testing, ultrasonic methods, laser assessment, high-intensity backlight evaluation, and Barcol hardness testing where appropriate. Technicians examine interior linings, exterior shells, ducting, nozzles, joints, and interfaces for cracking, disbondment, abrasion, chemical attack, capillary migration, distortion, or ultraviolet degradation, then provide recommended corrective actions.

Yes. AFTR routinely works around customer schedules, including planned outages, shutdown windows, night shifts, weekends, and ongoing operational constraints. This flexibility helps facilities complete scrubber repairs or maintenance when downtime is least costly. Crews can also heat or cool the tank or work area when ambient conditions would otherwise interfere with the repair.

Typical customers include wastewater treatment plants, chemical facilities, water treatment operations, food and beverage processors, petrochemical sites, and industrial process plants. These facilities often rely on fiberglass scrubbers, neutralizers, ducts, and tanks to handle corrosive fumes, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, ferric chloride, hydrochloric acid, and other aggressive chemistries.

Repair systems are selected for the specific chemical, concentration, temperature, and exposure conditions. AFTR uses custom-blended isophthalic and terephthalic polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resins, along with fiberglass mat, chopped strand, Nexus, Harlar, carbon veil, and other laminates. Matching the resin and reinforcement system is critical for long-term corrosion resistance.

AFTR provides field service across all 50 U.S. states, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico, as well as Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and select international situations. The company is headquartered in Plymouth, New Hampshire, with additional facilities in Franklin and Ashland, NH, and strategically positioned personnel for responsive mobilization.
