Power Plant FGD Scrubber / FRP Repair Experts

An FRP scrubber is an industrial air pollution control vessel made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic. In power plants, FGD scrubbers help remove sulfur compounds and other contaminants from flue gas. FRP is used because it resists many corrosive environments, but its internal corrosion barrier, laminate, nozzles, and duct connections still require periodic inspection, repair, and relining.

Yes. Many FRP scrubbers can be repaired or relined when damage is limited to the corrosion barrier, localized laminate, nozzles, or ductwork interfaces. Repair can extend asset life for years while avoiding the lead time, capital expense, and outage length of full replacement. A detailed inspection determines whether targeted repair is structurally appropriate.

American Fiberglass Tank Repair can address corrosion lining failure, abrasion, disbondment, shell distortion, stress cracking, low hardness, impact damage, nozzle issues, weeping, and interface deterioration. The team also repairs FRP ductwork and related scrubber or neutralizer components when compatible with field methods, access conditions, and required chemical service.

Inspections typically include visual review of interior and exterior surfaces, corrosion coat assessment, structural laminate evaluation, nozzle and interface checks, and instrument-supported methods. Ultrasonic, laser, high-intensity backlight, and hardness testing may be used to identify hidden migration, laminate weakness, abrasion, or lining breakdown before failures become more disruptive.

Yes. AFTR regularly schedules work around customer shutdowns, night shifts, weekends, and planned outages. Crews can mobilize with materials and equipment selected in advance, then perform inspection, surface preparation, relining, structural laminate repair, cure, and return-to-service checks within the maintenance window whenever project scope and access allow.

Materials are selected based on chemical exposure, temperature, concentration, and the existing laminate system. AFTR works with custom-blended isophthalic and terephthalic polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resins, along with more than 45 fiberglass mat, chopped strand, Nexus, Harlar, and carbon veil laminate options for corrosion and structural performance.

Emergency FRP repair is available for urgent failures, impact damage, lining breaches, and service-threatening conditions. Field crews are positioned across multiple regions and can deploy with Service-Pack containers stocked with resins, fiberglass media, and equipment. On arrival, the team assesses the damage, stabilizes the asset, performs repairs, and verifies readiness.

Helpful information includes scrubber size, drawings, service chemistry, operating temperature, photos of damage, prior inspection reports, outage dates, access restrictions, safety requirements, and whether nozzles or ductwork are involved. These details help engineers determine inspection scope, compatible materials, crew size, mobilization needs, and realistic return-to-service timing.
