Antistatic: Highly rigid antistatic composite piping systems

Within the research project "AntiStatic", project partners aim to develop a novel, energy-efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process for the production of highly rigid, antistatic composite piping systems. Such piping systems are geared towards complex piping architectures which are used for fluid transport in low- and high-pressure applications in various industries such as aviation, shipbuilding, automotive and the oil and gas industry. The article lays out the challenges as well as the solutions developed at Fraunhofer IGCV.
