In Greece, the water pollution prevention industry is currently facing significant pressure due to the combination of high salinity in coastal areas and the stringent environmental regulations imposed by the European Union. The reliance on traditional metal containers for chemical storage has led to increased maintenance costs due to rapid corrosion in the humid Mediterranean climate.
Many local facilities still utilize outdated rake teeth systems in their primary sedimentation tanks, which often suffer from mechanical wear and lack the efficiency required for modern wastewater throughput. This has created a growing demand for high-strength, corrosion-resistant replacements that can withstand aggressive chemical environments.
Furthermore, the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors in Greece are actively seeking upgraded sulfuric acid storage containers. The transition toward composite materials is accelerating as operators realize that FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) offers superior longevity compared to lined steel, especially when dealing with highly concentrated acids.
