Power stations 

Rubber linings have been used for a variety of different applications in power stations for a long time now to provide corrosion protection. Worthy of special mention here are water treatment plants and in particular the systems for the desulphurization of exhaust gases. For these applications the rubber lining may be applied in the plant manufacturer's works or at the particular construction site. 
Rubber linings have proved themselves splendidly in exhaust gas scrubbers, tanks, clean gas conduits, pipes, fans, fittings, hydrocyclones, centrifuges, etc..
A typical example here are the scrubbers in the wet systems where the rubber linings have to be applied to many thousands of square meters at heights which can go up to 70 m. Even under the severe conditions of high temperatures, abrasion by solid matter and permeation by water and gases, the rubber linings providing the corrosion protection give service lives of over 15 years.
In the meantime more than a quarter million square meters of steel in exhaust gas scrubbers have been protected against corrosion by companies within the FDG.
