Project summary:

A pulp and paper mill had a leak on a critical fiberglass tank caused by a physical impact with an inlet pipe. A small crack at the base of the inlet pipe was created and an aqueous water treatment was actively leaking. The contents of the tank were removed and the leak was quickly repaired using a carbon fiber repair kit. The kit used a high-strength, chemically-resistant carbon fiber composite to bond to the fiberglass tank and inlet pipe and completely repaired the crack. The facility filled the tank and started up again without incident.
