International Chlor-Alkali Plants Uses Dual Laminate Piping Systems for Cell Membrane Technology

After receiving contracts to engineer, design and fabricate complicated Dual Laminate piping systems for Saudi Arabian Basic Industrial Chemical's Sadaf Membrane facility, Prolite was chosen by Krupp UHDE to supply all the complicated Polypropylene/FRP collection headers for the collection of Catholyte at 95°C and FRP Anolyte headers for Chlorine Collection.

In a second project, for Olin Chemical at Macintosh, Alabama, Prolite again fabricated the Catholyte Headers and Anolyte Headers. Prolite designed the system using DIN standards and translated them to produce a world class priority equipment system. A highly resilient Polypropylene Block Co-Polymer PPH-2222 resin made by Hoechst Chemical was chosen by UHDE based on 10 years of recent corrosion data.

Prolite also worked with the European favourite Alpolit UF-797 Modified Polyester Resin (Alphacor 6000) for the first time in North America and data reveals the service life can be extended in Chlorine gas from 5 - 15 years at operating temperature and service conditions.

In addition to the priority equipment, Prolite at the same time completed the largest Dual Laminate Pipe contract in PP/FRP and UPVC/FRP in the world at the same site for Construction Driven Engineer/Contractor B.E. & K. Engineering over a period of seven months.

The ability of Prolite Plastics Engineering and Contract Administration Team to complete the difficult project at a high level of quality was rated very highly by the satisfied customer.
