3.0 MAINTENANCE
During the working life of the unit, it should require little or no maintenance. GRP will resist attack by most acids,
alkalis and chemicals and is as resistant to concentrated acids and alkalis as most metal products.
However, if abnormal or unusual environmental conditions occur due to plant damage or accident etc., then
visual inspection is recommended.
If the unit requires cleaning, then only clean exterior with a damp cloth to avoid electro-static charge build up.
If spare parts are required, then these should only be supplied by MEDC.
If a unit fault should occur, then the unit should be returned to MEDC for repair/replacement.
