Corrosion Experts For almost 70 years the Thorpe name has been synonymous with quality refractory engineering and services, but did you know that we also do In-House Acid Plant Lining Design and Installation? It’s no secret that Acid Plant linings are inherently challenging due to the corrosive nature of the operations, equipment size and geometry, complex connections, and the critically important temperature and mechanical issues involved. For those reasons, refractory and acid contractors must have a thorough understanding of the corrosive effects on both steel and refractory materials, the thermal profiles through the lining and the mechanical stability of the construction. Thorpe carries an extensive and effective history installing various acid brick and tile systems, with and without underlying corrosion membranes. Typical materials include Type I and Type II fireclay brick, red shale acid brick, carbon brick and tiles. These materials are used in conjunction with their appropriate chemical-resistant mortars, normally over a corrosion-resistant membrane. Thorpe exists as the only company to offer acid resistant masonry, rubber linings, FRP (tanks, vessels & piping), thermoplastics, dual laminates, toppings, and coatings along with our refractory installation, material manufacturing and engineering so it's safe to say that we are the experts when it comes to all your corrosion and acid-resistant services!
