Picking vessels are made from solid polypropylene

A Chem Resist Group product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 4, 2006

Working with a major UK metal processing client, Chem Resist Group's process plant division has developed a technique to form solid polypropylene picking vessels.

In harsh environment such as steel picking or etching corrosion or vessels and equipment can be a real headache.

Working with a major UK metal processing client, Chem Resist Group's process plant division has developed a technique to form 40mm thick polypropylene sheet so as to construct a 10 x 4 x 2.5m solid polypropylene picking vessel.

The construction, as well as being totally rigid thanks to 40mm thick polypropylene sheet, is also totally corrosion resistant against the chemicals used in the process both inside and outside of the vessel.

This corrosion resistance, which was a main concern of the customer having had problems with the exterior of his previous vessel corroding and causing worrying looking cracks and discolouration.

Another great benefit of the Chem Resist system is that if additional nozzles or connections are required they can be simply welded into the existing material.

If the vessel were rubber lined or made from glass fibre and a nozzle location needed to me changed, work would be required to ensure that the lining was made good again.

With Chem Resist's all-one-material system this is a thing of the past.

Chem Resist has a comprehensive website with a download section where you can access more information on its manufacturing systems and how it compares with the older traditional methods such as GRP and rubber lining.

Chem Resist designs and manufactures a full range of process equipment from small day tanks through to fully automated chemical blending systems and tank farms and Scada control throughout.
