IntegraHeader System

When the first IntegraHeader system was installed in 1985, corrosion barriers were 250 mils thick, half the current standard. Yet even that original IntegraHeader system lasted over a decade. Its reliable service has captured the industry's attention and brought several financial questions into clear perspective.

The first issue settled was the cost-effectiveness of maximum protection. In other words, the price tag of other traditional systems can no longer be taken alone. Related expenses must be added for more frequent maintenance, unexpected replacement, OSHA and EPA fines. And subsequent "worst-case" scenarios such as demolishing and removing a header and installing a new one require a complete shutdown. Buying a product twice because of premature failure is clearly far more expensive (and more troublesome) than doing it right the first time.

The Fibrex advantage becomes obvious when FRP service life can be extended even in the face of highly corrosive hot chlorine gas. Given the IntegraHeader's outstanding service record, the bottom line will show that design advantages and extra millimeters of protection buy trouble-free time - and save maintenance dollars.
