Problem statement. Technological process of metallurgical, pipe-rolling, chemical and other enterprises includes chemical treatment of metal products by pickling in hot (60–80 °C) sulphuric acid solutions with a concentration of 20–22 %. This treatment method is conducted in the pickling departments of enterprises in special containers (pickling units). Pickling solution of the specified concentration and temperature is a highly aggressive environment for all building structures made of traditional materials. Existing pickling units for chemical treatment of metal products do not ensure reliability and durability and are destroyed after 1-2 years of operation. Therefore, ferrous metallurgy enterprises that have pickling departments for chemical treatment of metal structures are classified as enterprises with a highly aggressive environment and their design should be developed with these conditions under consideration. The purpose of the work: Searching for and implementing mechanisms to improve the resistance of polymer concrete in aggressive environments in production. The object of research – is furan resins modified polymer concrete. The subject of the research – investigation of the particularities and improvement of constructive design for pickling baths made of materials based on polymer concrete in an aggressive environment and its implementation in production. Main part. Development of constructive design for technological pickling units made of structural corrosion-resistant material (furan resins modified polymer concrete). Conclusions. Pickling of metal products at ferrous metallurgy enterprises is conducted in highly aggressive hot sulphuric acid solutions of 20–25 % concentration at a temperature of 60–80 °C. Under the conditions of constant exposure to highly aggressive hot sulphuric acid solutions, even protection with chemically resistant materials does not ensure the required reliability and durability. To manufacture such structures, a new structural material is needed that combines chemical resistance with strength and durability. This material is a structurally chemical-resistant polymer concrete based on thermoset furan resins, which have high strength and universal chemical resistance, allowing us to solve the problem of reliability and durability of technological units for chemical treatment of metal structures at ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises in a fundamentally new way. New constructive design for pickling units made of reinforced polymer concrete was developed in conjunction with shock-absorbing bars and an improved ventilation system, consisting of individual elements of full factory readiness weighing no more than 5 tonnes, which allows them to be transported and installed in operating pickling workshops using existing mechanisms.
