Applications

Special Facilities

Livestock Barns, Cattle Sheds, Pig Pens / Sewage and Wastewater Treatment Facilities, etc.

Extreme Chemical Environment: Special facilities such as livestock barns, pig pens, and wastewater treatment plants operate in extreme chemical environments. They are constantly exposed to high concentrations of corrosive gases (such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide), organic acids, and moisture. The internal rebar serves as the core framework ensuring the structural safety of these facilities.
The GFRP Solution: Epoxy GFRP rebar possesses exceptional chemical resistance and remains unaffected by acidic and alkaline chemicals. By fundamentally preventing corrosion, it serves as the optimal alternative for permanently extending the lifespan of structures, even in the harshest environments.

Special Facilities

Livestock Barns, Cattle Sheds, and Pig Pens

• Constant Exposure to Corrosives: Livestock rearing facilities, such as barns, cattle sheds, and pig pens, represent extreme chemical environments. They are continually exposed to livestock manure, feed, and high concentrations of ammonia ($NH_3$) gas, moisture, and organic acids generated during the rearing process.
• Causes of Degradation: When ammonia gas and moisture penetrate through micro-cracks in the concrete, traditional steel rebar undergoes a rapid chemical corrosion process. The resulting rust creates an expansive pressure that pushes against the concrete from the inside.
• Superior Durability: Epoxy GFRP rebar offers perfect chemical resistance against various chemicals, including ammonia and organic acids, stopping chemical corrosion at its source. It is the optimal solution for maintaining permanent durability and clean sanitary conditions by preventing concrete cracks, even in poor rearing environments.

Special Facilities

Sewage and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

• Harsh Chemical Attacks: Sewage and wastewater treatment facilities are situated in extremely harsh chemical environments. In addition to constant moisture exposure, hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) gas—generated by the decomposition of organic matter in the sewage—converts into sulfuric acid on the concrete surface and aggressively attacks the structure.
• Chemical Inertness: Epoxy GFRP rebar is completely chemically inert to a wide variety of chemicals, including acids and sulfates. This ensures permanent structural integrity without the risk of corrosion.
• Cost Optimization: It drastically reduces the hassle and expense of installing separate waterproofing materials or chemical barriers inside the facility to prevent corrosion. This makes it the ultimate solution for optimizing the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of the facility, especially in the internal environment of treatment tanks where maintenance is notoriously difficult.
