Composite Repair for Corrosive Chemical Processing Systems
Chemical processing environments place extreme demands on piping, tanks, and exhaust systems. Concentrated acids, caustic solutions, solvents, and process byproducts can rapidly degrade substrates leading to leaks, wall loss, and unplanned downtime.
RAK Industrial Services provides composite-based repair and lining solutions for corrosive chemical processing systems. Our field-applied systems restore structural integrity, rebuild chemical-resistant barriers, and extend service life for critical assets.
Concentrated Acid Lines & Tanks
Concentrated acid systems present some of the most aggressive corrosion environments in industrial operations. Even short-term exposure can cause rapid wall loss, lining failure, and leaks in piping, tanks, and secondary containments.
Our composite repairs and chemical-resistant lining systems are designed specifically for concentrated acid immersion. Each repair system is selected based on acid type, concentration level, and operational temperature to ensure compatibility and long-term efficiency.
These solutions allow facilities to address acid-related deterioration before it escalates into costly replacement, environmental issues, or forced unplanned outages.
- Control and stabilization of active acid leaks
- Reinforcement of thinned, pitted, or degraded substrates
- Chemical-resistant internal linings for concentrated acid service
- Composite reinforcement where wall loss has reduced structural capacity
- Protection in liquid and vapor-phase exposure zones
- Rehabilitation of tanks, piping, and associated secondary containment
- Repairs performed in service or with minimal operational disruption
- Cost-effective alternatives to replacement and extended outages
Caustic & Alkali Systems
Many industrial processes rely on caustic and alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide, ammonia, and lime slurries. These chemicals can cause corrosion, lining degradation, and leakage when piping and containment systems are not properly protected.
RAK’s composite repair and lining solutions for caustic and alkali systems are designed to reinforce weakened substrates, restore chemical-resistant barriers, and extend service life. Repair systems are selected based on concentration levels, operating temperature, and exposure conditions to support reliable operation.
Common Application Areas Include:
- Acid process piping and transfer lines
- Concentrated acid storage and day tanks
- Tank nozzles, valves, floors, and floor-to-wall transitions
- Trenches and sumps
- Secondary containment areas and curbing
- Pump bases, equipment pads, and foundations
- Vapor zones and headspaces above liquid levels
- Drain lines, neutralization systems, and overflow piping
