For example, fluoropolymer coatings used on steel structures in pipeline systems greatly enhance corrosion resistance, ensuring the safe operation of such equipment. Similarly, fiberglass pipes used in desulfurization and wastewater treatment processes effectively address the issue of material corrosion. The interiors of power plant desulfurization towers are lined with fiberglass scales. Pipelines in crude oil processing plants also have internal linings. Polytetrafluoroethylene is used as a gasket sealing material, and polytetrafluoroethylene gaskets are placed at the bottom of sliding supports in horizontal equipment – they do not rust and provide good sliding properties. Pipelines in the chemical dosing areas of wastewater treatment plants are also made of polymer materials, and so on
