Power & Energy
The structural layers of FRP are made up of glass fibers for strength and stiffness. Specially formulated resins are used to enhance corrosion resistance. These characteristics make fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) products ideal for many applications at power plants, particularly with respect to the corrosive environment in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes.
Energy and Power companies often serve customers across wide-regional expanses. As the competitive pressures of deregulated markets force companies to maximize their efficiencies, and sources of energy continue to evolve, utility companies are tasked with keeping pace with the changes while maintaining high levels of customer service across their grids. Whether the utilities are handling electrical power, natural gas, solar power, mineral extraction, wind power or other sources, they often need technical assistance in meeting their objectives for facility expansion and upgrades. They must also meet strict regulatory guidelines for expansion of their distribution systems. Plasticon’s engineers provide a full range of support for structural design (substation, plant), planning, construction management, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering (power, controls, communications and lighting), water resources design (planning, distribution and treatment) and entitlement/development assistance.

The Plasticon Power team specialises in the engineering, production and installation of special equipment for power plants and in advising customers where such experience is required.
Carbon Capture Utilisation Storage (CCUS)
CCUS involves the capture of CO2, generally from large point sources like power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass as fuel. If not being used on-site, the captured CO2 is compressed and transported by pipeline, ship, rail or truck to be used in a range of applications, or injected into deep geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers.
CCUS can be retrofitted to existing power and industrial plants, allowing for their continued operation. It can tackle emissions in hard-to-abate sectors, particularly heavy industries like cement, steel or chemicals. CCUS is an enabler of least-cost low-carbon hydrogen production, which can support the decarbonisation of other parts of the energy system, such as industry, trucks and ships. Finally, CCUS can remove CO2 from the air to balance emissions that are unavoidable or technically difficult to abate.
Plasticon Projects offers an extensive range of state-of-the-art equipment for Carbon Capture and Utilisation such as absorbers (scrubbers), storage tanks for process liquids and large diameter ducting for flue gas CO2 transport.
Displaying best-in-class qualities, our products have already proven themselves in a number of applications in the power industry.
Products for the CCUS market:
- FRP storage and processing tanks for (absorbent) liquids
- FRP absorbers and strippers for flue gas carbon capture
- FRP large diameter stack and duct for flue gas transport
- Process equipment for WESP Area
- Transport of seawater

On Site Production
Transporting large stacks, equipment or tanks can be quite a challenge and costly. With our own developed on-site winding system, we produce efficiently on site worldwide. In the video below you can see in a 3D animation how our production process on site goes from mobilization of material and equipment up to delivery of the end product.
Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization
FRP is especially suitable for corosive environments such as with wet FGD application. In the video you will see to production and installation of an FRP stack and duct at the power plant in Mill Creek, USA.
