Pollution control equipment made from fiber-glass reinforced plastic (FRP) has performed outstandingly in industrial waste incineration since the mid-1970’s. This success has been due primarily to continuous improvement in FRP chemical and thermal resistance. Recent improvements, such as increased resistance to sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen fluoride and the ability to tolerate higher operating temperatures, are discussed in case histories.
