Today’s advanced food processing companies find ways to get the most out of food resources. In some ways similar to our own digestive systems, processing facilities use complex chemical reactions that involve corrosive chemicals. This work gives some amazing results all to give us a safe food supply with byproducts that also have economic value. Food processing uses fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) and other composite materials for many applications, due to their superior corrosion resistance and food safety. Many of the reactions involve high free chloride applications which are an excellent place to use FRP. Some of the applications include chemical storage, piping, reactors and ducting. Gaythi Enterprises serves the FRP and composite equipment needs of the food processing industry from end-to-end with innovative engineering and repair solutions, and ongoing inspection and asset management using our patented GEP.

Pulp and paper mills run continuously between major shutdowns – availability and running time are their benchmarks. In most cases, it is only during these major shutdowns that repair and maintenance of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) can be completed. The pulp and paper industry uses equipment made of FRP and other composite materials for the superior corrosion resistance, reliability, strength, low maintenance and low lifetime cost these materials provide. Pulp and paper mills require corrosion resistant composite materials to help manage bleaching, chemical treatment and closed white water cycles. Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are used for a long list of pulp mill equipment, including; pulp stock lines, vent lines, chemical process piping, effluent pipe, catch basins, ducting, retention towers, multi-stage upflow and downflow towers, washer drums, vats, exhaust hoods, gas ducting and scrubbers, absorption towers, spent acid and dump tanks, process vessels, tail gas scrubbers, multi-stage filtrate tanks, stock and filtrate piping, and stacks. Gaythi Enterprises serves the pulp and paper industry’s FRP and composite equipment needs from end-to-end with innovative solutions for engineering and repair combined with ongoing inspection and asset management using our patented GEP. We have an established track record of significantly reducing maintenance costs for FRP in pulp and paper operations.
