Wastewater Treatment Systems

Of all the problems that beset wastewater treatment systems, corrosion and erosion are the ones that challenge system engineers, maintenance personnel and operators alike. The environment within the system is a complex interface of solids, liquids, and gases; characterized by critical temperature fluctuations and turbulent chemical reactions. This activity is bound to take its toll on inner surfaces of tanks, piping, valves, pumps, and other structures.

Since the early days, Duromar has been heavily involved in erosion, corrosion and process control problems. The combination of erosion and corrosion found in wastewater treatment systems surpassed the resistance capabilities of many of the construction materials in use at that time. This encouraged Duromar to search for new engineering solutions through the use of “state of the art” polymeric technologies. Duromar recognized that the key to solving many of these problems was in the use of 100% solids, multi-functional or novolac epoxy systems. These new systems, while outperforming conventional solvent based coatings, would also be non-hazardous to the applicator and non-toxic to the environment.
