FRP vs RCC Cooling Tower — Cost, Durability & Which One to Choose
What is an FRP Cooling Tower? FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) cooling towers are factory-built, modular cooling towers where the casing, fills, fans, drift eliminators, and structural frame are made from fibreglass-reinforced plastic composites. In simple terms: An FRP cooling tower is a factory-made, corrosion-free cooling tower built from fibreglass plastic — lightweight, quick to install, and available in standard capacities from 5 TR to 10,000 TR. FRP cooling towers come in induced draft, forced draft, cross flow, and pultruded variants. Most Indian industrial plants — chemical, pharma, HVAC, power — use FRP as the standard choice today. What is an RCC Cooling Tower? RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) cooling towers are large, permanent structures built on-site using concrete. The shell, basin, and structural frame are all cast in concrete. Fills, fans, drift eliminators, and distribution pipework are fitted inside the c...
