A major wet corn mill needed a solution to aggressive CIP chemical integration into one day tank. Smit Group, LLC. and Fusibond Piping System designed and fabricated a Tefzel (ETFE) lined header system. It provided the lowest rate of permeation compared to the previous PTFE lined piping components. The custom header was fabricated as one piece (first) and roto lined with Tefzel (ETFE). This melt processable fluoroplastics formed a liner exhibiting little to no permeation in these highly chlorinated products.
