- [Solutions for Pipe Damage from Acoustic Vibration](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/solutions-for-pipe-damage-caused-by-acoustic-induced-vibration/): Vibrations in piping systems can cause a myriad of issues ranging from equipment damage to fatigue failure. While there are some causes of vibration that are observable through normal operation and inspection, Acoustic-Induced Vibration (AIV) is different as it is caused by acoustic waves occurring at high frequencies. As these high-frequency sound waves travel through a piping system, they excite circumferential vibrations, leading to dynamic stresses on the pipes. Unaddressed, these dynamic stresses can lead to damaged or ruptured pipes.There are generally two methods for addressing Acoustic-Induced Vibrations: Extensional-Layer Damping and Constrained-Layer Damping. Extensional-Layer Damping involves the installation of an outer shell that reduces acoustic stress on a pipe. Constrained-Layer Damping combines a strong outer shell with an additional more flexible thermoplastic inner layer. Both options can help reduce vibrational and acoustic stress, but there are differences between the two in terms of overall levels of stress relief as well as cost considerations.

## Case Studies
- [Case Study: Composite Repair for Complex Geometries](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/case-study-conquering-complex-geometries-for-composite-repairs/): The advantages of composite repair applications include not only their structural versatility but also the substantial time and cost savings realized from their quick installation, minimal lead time, and ability to be deployed while a system is online and operational.
- [Case Study: Effective Tank Patch Repair for Industry](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/effective-tank-patch-repair-for-tanks/): Tank patch repairs with carbon fiber composites offer a 20-year, maintenance-free repair for tanks with degradation or damage. Three tank repair projects showcase the abilities of carbon fiber composites to provide spot repairs for the oil & gas and chemical industries.
- [CASE STUDY: Coatings and Composite Repairs for Pulp and Paper Processing Plants](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/case-study-coatings-and-composite-repairs-for-pulp-and-paper/): Pulp and paper mills encounter aggressive mechanical processing, exposure to highly corrosive chemicals, elevated temperatures, and the combination of all three. The highly threatening environment can make repairs and maintenance especially challenging for pulp and paper mills. Advanced FRP Systems has helped multiple pulp and paper mills address their repair needs.
- [Oil Tolerant Coating](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/oil-tolerant-coating/): Advanced FRP Systems provided a durable, oil-tolerant coating system to a major urban utility provider that was in the process of converting a 195 ft. long by 145 ft. wide No. 6 Fuel Oil tank into a Biodiesel tank. The coating system provided long-term corrosion protection for the tank and accommodated its complex internal geometry, specifically 84 internal column supports with trace amounts of oil that could not be fully removed before coating application.
- [CASE STUDY: External Carbon Fiber Repairs for Continued Internal Corrosion at an Oil Terminal](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/oil-pipeline-repair/): Advanced FRP Systems helped an oil and gas company address their internal corrosion issue on a section of 30” diameter crude oil piping using externally applied Carbon Fiber Repair Kits. Our Carbon Fiber Repair Kits are a fast, economical, long-term solution compliant with all pertinent API and ASME PCC-2 (2018) requirements.
- [CASE STUDY: Repair of Corrosion and Leaks in a Bolted Oily Water Tank](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/repair-solutions-for-corrosion-and-leaks-in-a-bolted-oily-water-tank/): A company in the oil and gas industry specializing in wellsite wastewater removal and processing was experiencing through-wall failures and leaks of oily water in one of their storage tanks. Advanced FRP Systems offered a repair solution that stopped the leaks, prevented further corrosion, and preserved their storage tank.
- [CASE STUDY: Composite Reinforcement Solutions for an Aging Circulating Water System](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/composite-reinforcement-solutions-for-an-aging-circulating-water-system/): Learn how Advanced FRP Systems helped a power generation facility in the northeast US restore the reliability of their circulating water lines using an internal carbon fiber composite repair system.
- [CASE STUDY: Advanced FRP Systems Refurbished Over 12,000 Linear Feet of HPFF Pipe-Type Cable For Major NYC-Region Utility Provider](https://www.advancedfrpsystems.com/case_studies/underground-power-transmission-lines/): Learn how Advanced FRP Systems used carbon fiber composites to refurbish underground high-voltage transmission lines for a New York City-based electricity, steam, and natural gas provider.
