Protective Coatings for Wastewater Infrastructure
The Rise of Polyurethane Protective Coatings for Wastewater Infrastructure
Exposed concrete in treatment plants is subject to erosion, and the deterioration of lime and other soluble compounds can jeopardise containment creating a hazardous risk to human health and damage to the surrounding natural environment.
Rhino Linings’ range of tailored solutions for treatment plants are an effective way to neutralise potential leakage and prevent concrete from becoming compromised.
Specialized Coatings for Wastewater Infrastructure
The chemical, abrasion, and corrosion resistant properties of Rhino Linings’ products assist in the prevention of concrete attack and erosion to help ensure the plant works to its optimum level with minimum maintenance and shutdown.
Case Study: Bendigo Sewage Treatment Plant and Wastewater Coating Solutions
Rhino Linings assisted the Bendigo Sewage Treatment Plant storage reservoir where leaks had developed due to cracks forming in the floor. The STP walls were also subjected to effluent gases and chemical rich moisture placing additional risk on the facility’s integrity.
The solution was to cover the cracks and coat the concrete above the water line with RhinoGuard 2195 hybrid polyurethane .
With minimal interruption to the plant’s operation, Rhino Linings was able to restore the facility and provide enhanced protection against future breaches.
Why Choose Rhino Linings for Wastewater Infrastructure Coatings?
As with any application for corrosion, the protective coating system applied to concrete must demonstrate excellent adhesion and have a bond strength that exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete.
All Rhino Linings are high build (2mm to unlimited thickness) and exhibit excellent elongation, remain flexible year after year, adhere tenaciously and remain extremely durable in even the harshest environments.
Find the Right Wastewater Coatings for Your Infrastructure Needs
Rhino Linings has a solution to meet the even the toughest challenge whether it’s protection from the corrosive characteristics of wastewater, safeguarding concrete from de-ionized water or shielding substrate from rust, corrosion and pitting.
From solvent-based coatings to no VOC’s 100% solids-based coating, let Rhino Linings help you find a premium protective solution to protect your concrete substrate.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What is the infrastructure of wastewater?
Wastewater infrastructure is a network of pipes, pumps, screens, storage tanks, and treatment facilities used to collect, transport, and manage wastewater.
What are water infrastructure examples?
Examples of water infrastructure include water and wastewater treatment plants, pipelines, dams, reservoirs, stormwater systems, and irrigation systems.
What are the three major sources of wastewater?
The three primary sources of wastewater are Domestic, Industrial, and Stormwater.
- Domestic wastewater refers to water from sinks, showers, toilets, and washing machines.
- Industrial wastewater, which is generated by manufacturing and industrial processes, frequently contains chemicals, heavy metals, and other pollutants.
- Stormwater wastewater is created when rain or snowmelt flows over surfaces such as roads and rooftops, picking up garbage, chemicals, and other pollutants.
What is sewage treatment infrastructure?
Sewage treatment infrastructure refers to the systems and facilities designed to remove contaminants from wastewater. This includes sewage pipes, pumping stations, and treatment plants where physical, chemical, and biological processes are used to treat wastewater. This makes it safe to release back into the environment or reuse.
