2 ICT is a manufacturing company, created in 1999. It specializes in FRP and polymer concrete products for corrosive applications, particularly in electrolytic cells The ICT team comprises a select group of experienced specialists led by a management with more than 20 years experience in the frp industry for corrosive applications ICT is aware of the quality-related problems currently found in the polymer concrete cells available on the current market, particularly those stemming from electrolyte leakage . One of the main objectives of the company is to produce, among other products, a cell of outstanding quality that will be able to overcome the problems and improve the quality of polymer concrete cells available on the market. The outstanding quality of ICESA polymer concrete cell is supported by three key elements :

A significant number of the current ICT team members has been working together since the early eighties under diferent company names, finally becoming Icesa in February 1999. The high degree of knowledge demonstrated by the company in the fabrication of electrolityc cells is the result of the specialized studies, training and work experience obtained in Australia during the seventies by members of its associate directors. This knowledge and experience was transmitted to workers who are now an integral part of the Icesa team, a team with over twenty years of experience. The Icesa team has had an important participation in the development of the frp and polymer concrete in Chile, the introduction of Kabe-O-Rap, filament winding, dual laminate and vinylcrete technology being their most outstanding achievement.

PACKED GAS COOLING TOWER FABRICATED FOR CODELCO´S SULPHURIC ACID PLANT AT EL TENIENTE, RANCAGUA, CHILE. THE TOWER IS ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD MANUFACTURED IN HOUSE AND TRANSPORTED TO SITE AS A SINGLE PIECE. MADE IN 1997 BY MEMBERS OF THE ICT TEAM THE VINYLCRETE CELL INCORPORATES A SOLID SELF- SUPPORTING FRP LINER IN THE INTERNAL SURFACE, WHICH SETS THE DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER POLYMER CONCRETE CELLS EXISTING ON TODAY´S MARKET

ICT MANUFACTURES THE CELLS USING A UNIQUE AND NOVEL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED IN AUSTRALIA BY STODDART BROS. PTY LTD. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS PATENTED IN CHILE AND SEVERAL COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD

MOULDS SYSTEM THE UNIQUE TWO-MOULD SYSTEM USED BY ICT ELIMINATES THE INTERNAL WALL STRESSES PRODUCED IN THE POLYMER CONCRETE DUE TO THE CURING SHRINKAGE OF RESIN. THESE STRESSES ARE AGGRAVATED BY THERMAL SHOCKS DURING OPERATION RESULTING IN HAIRLINE CRACKS WHICH FINALLY ALLOW LEAKING.

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR FINISH AS A RESULT OF THE SPECIAL CARE PAID TO MOULD CONSTRUCTION AND THE UNIQUE FABRICATION METHOD USED BY ICESA, THE SURFACES OF THE CELLS ARE SMOOTH AND POLISHED TO A MIRROR FINISH. THIS IS A GREAT ADVANTAGE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF CELLS AND THE RECOVERY OF SLURRIES IN REFINERIES
