A massive aluminum plant was to be built in Mesaieed Industrial City. The aluminum plant, named Qatalum, would utilize fresh seawater for cooling purposes which meant that corrosion resistant fluid control equipment was called for. Qatalum required a company with a minimum of 20 years of demonstrable experience designing, engineering, fabricating and directing the installation of large scale corrosion resistant fluid control equipment. This is where Plasti-Fab was able to come to the rescue.
Plasti-Fab Gages are primarily used in secluded, often rural settings, such as flumes, weirs, reservoirs, basins, lagoons, waterways and other applications. In these locations they have year-round, sustained exposure to all of the natural elements. The PlastiFab Fiberglass Reinforce Plastic (FRP) Head Gages have proven to withstand years of weather without fading,chipping, or warping.
Sea Beav 1, is literally riding the next wave in large scale electrical power generation and Plasti-Fab helped create it!
Developed with electricity generating equipment inside, the Sea Beav 1 (seen below) showed potential to harness wave energy in an initial test off the Northwest Pacific coast. The test was conducted by OSU scientists in conjunction with Columbia Power Technology.
Moncks Corner, South Carolina, was almost wiped off the map back when hurricane Hugo roared through (9/22/89).
It was located just a few miles on the northeast side of the storm, "which is the absolute worst place to be during a hurricane. The eye of the storm passed right through the town. When it hit South Carolina it had SUSTAINED winds of 140 MPH." Hugo is the biggest, strongest hurricane to ever hit the East coast north of Florida.
At this Wastewater Treatment Plant in Glendale Heights, IL, an aluminum slide gate had to be forced open using a front-end loader and a chain after seizing in place due to inevitable corrosion. The corrosive bond was so severe that the chain snapped upon the first attempt.
