| Abstract | Non-metallic materials are attracting interest in geothermal application while plastic, plastic-cement and other combinations are proposed. The author suggests a new development with a system of high strength graphite fiber reinforcement in polymerized cement fro greater strength. Proposal covers hydrothermal duty. Copolymer carbon composite (CCC) extends the use o PC and offers additional applications with a system of metal inserts for pumps and equipment using the corrosion resistant composite (CCC). |
