In the industrial heart of the Netherlands, Botlek Rotterdam stands as a hub for the chemical, petrochemical, and energy industries. Facilities here face one shared challenge — managing corrosion in aggressive process environments.
That’s where FRP (Fibre-Reinforced Plastic) equipment engineering comes in. FRP systems are lightweight, durable, and highly resistant to acids and solvents. But to make the most of this material, industries need an experienced partner that can design, engineer, and deliver complete FRP systems.
The answer? GreyTec B.V. — a trusted name in the Netherlands for corrosion-resistant process equipment.
Why FRP Equipment Matters in Botlek Rotterdam
Botlek hosts hundreds of chemical and tank-storage facilities that rely on equipment designed for reliability and safety. Traditional steel or alloy systems corrode quickly in such conditions, increasing downtime and maintenance costs.
FRP offers a better alternative — combining chemical resistance, low weight, long service life, and cost efficiency. Whether for tanks, scrubbers, or pipe networks, FRP provides the durability that Dutch process plants demand.
GreyTec’s FRP equipment solutions are engineered to meet these precise challenges, ensuring performance under harsh operating conditions.
GreyTec’s Expertise in FRP Equipment Engineering
GreyTec goes beyond being an equipment supplier. They act as a complete engineering partner for corrosive-service applications. Their work covers:
1. Design & Engineering Support
Through dedicated engineering and consultancy services, GreyTec helps define the right FRP materials, resin systems, and design specifications for each process condition.
2. Manufacturing & Quality Control
GreyTec partners with certified FRP fabricators to ensure every component from tanks to piping meets international standards (ISO 14692, ASTM D3299).
3. Integration & Installation
Beyond standalone equipment, GreyTec supplies full FRP pipes and fittings to create a seamless, corrosion-resistant network. Their engineering ensures proper jointing, flow alignment, and thermal performance.
Applications Across the Dutch Process Industry
GreyTec’s FRP equipment serves diverse industries including:
- Chemical processing: FRP tanks and scrubbers for acid and solvent handling
- Water treatment: corrosion-proof piping and structural components
- Petrochemical & storage terminals: FRP ducting for vapour and exhaust control
- Pharmaceutical & food: contamination-free and low-maintenance setups
Each installation is tailored to meet the Netherlands’ strict safety and environmental standards while minimizing maintenance costs.
Sustainability and Long-Term Value
Using FRP systems contributes directly to sustainability goals. Compared with metal systems, FRP requires less frequent replacement, reduces waste, and supports the Netherlands’ broader carbon-reduction initiatives.
With proper design and maintenance, these systems often deliver service lives exceeding 25 years, offering both ecological and economi
