How does the cost of polypropylene equipment compare to traditional equipment?
In most cases polypropylene equipment is competitive with traditional rubber lined and bricked steel tanks. When carbon block lining and other exotic materials are required, polypropylene is less expensive. However, the real cost comparison must include all of the costs over the life of the equipment. In this case polypropylene equipment has proven to be far less costly than traditional materials. Our customers advise us that the long term maintenance costs of plastic tanks and equipment is significantly less. What are the advantages of replacing traditional equipment with polypropylene? Polypropylene equipment offers lower overall cost, longer life, easy repairability, lighter weight, and less maintenance. The replacement of tanks is simplified and requires less down time than traditional equipment.
