Product Number: 51218-135-SG

Author: Vaughn O’Dea, David Liu

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Liquid-applied protective linings are commonly used to protect concrete structures found within water and wastewater treatment facilities. There are a number of referenced industry standards and guidelines detailing the construction of new concrete, evaluation of existing concrete, and surface preparation of concrete. This paper provides recommendations based on industry standards and related publications, as well as drawn from practical experience for preparing concrete for immersion conditions or chemical containment service in water and wastewater treatment.

Corrosion Assessment and Repair for Aging Concrete Infrastructure

Product Number: 51324-20860-SG

Author: Stephen W. Foster; Terry McGovern

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

An overview of various assessment techniques is discussed, including visual assessment as well as more detailed destructive and non-destructive assessment techniques, such as mechanical sounding, half-cell potential surveys, corrosion rate testing, material sampling, and laboratory analyses. Digital data collection techniques and the use of assessment data to develop service life and durability predictions based on the properties gathered by an in-situ assessment are also presented. Based upon the assessment results, the appropriate mitigation strategies can be selected. Several repair and mitigation strategies for reinforced concrete structures are discussed, along with the considerations involved with selecting each system with respect to cost, maintenance, and potential service life implications. Representative case studies will illustrate how these tools have been used for water and wastewater infrastructure.

Degrading Sewage Pipes an Opportunity for Contractors

Product Number: 41209-516-SG

Author: Elfriede Lynch, Teresa Valdes

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

The EPA estimates it will cost $390 billion over the next 20 years to repair or replace the crumbling wastewater infrastructure. Replacing infrastructure is costly, and in light of current economic conditions and worldwide budget cuts, often impossible to do. Alternatively, the use of single coat, fast cure high performance epoxy linings to rehabilitate sewage pipelines instead of replacing them will save municipalities considerable money and time, making it not only possible but practical for municipalities to protect their local environments today from sewage leaks.

Design Consideration for Lining Concrete Sludge Mixing and Storage Tanks in Wastewater Treatment Plants: Issues That Do Not Meet the Eye

Product Number: 41212-692-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Concrete sludge mixing and storage tanks in wastewater treatment plants can be exposed to corrosive environments. Protective linings are the best solution to this problem. But there are a number of design considerations based on this author’s experience that are not readily obvious at the outset.

Design Considerations for Corrosion Protection of Anaerobic Digesters in Wastewater Trestmant Plants

Product Number: 41215-916-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Protective coatings are used in anaerobic digesters to achieve both corrosion protection and gas tightness. With respect to the need for corrosion protection, anaerobic digesters, under typical operating conditions, do not create exposures which are corrosive to either carbon steel or concrete substrates. This paper will explain the basics of how anaerobic digesters work chemically to stabilize biosolids and demonstrate the atypical operating conditions under which corrosion becomes problematic.

Deterioration of Wastewater Treatment and Collection System Assets: Knowing Where and How to Look

Product Number: 41206-271-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

After 35 years or longer in service, the concrete infrastructure in wastewater collection systems and treatment plants has deteriorated due to various corrosion and physical degradation mechanisms. This paper reviews the major mechanisms that cause deterioration of concrete and protective coatings. Also, examples of infrastructure degradation are presented along with a discussion of the best diagnostic methods for condition assessment of concrete for the various mechanisms.

Epoxy Revolutionizes Water and Wastewater Underground Infrastructure Protection and Rehabilitation with Energy Efficient Green Technology

Product Number: 41211-660-SG

Author: Stephen M. Wierzchowski, Rajesh Turakhia

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

This paper presents an overview of systems available in the market today, their health and safety characteristics, performance capabilities and delivery mechanisms. Installation technologies are analyzed on their energy efficiencies, environmental impact, performance result consistency, ease of use and cost. The goal was to identify currently available systems; analyze concerns and limitations with these systems; and provide a basis for material selection and installation practices to achieve long-term expectations; while maintaining the utmost protection of humans, animals and the environment

Evaluation of Coatings and Linings for Wastewater Environments

Product Number: 41207-362-SG

Author: Robert Murphy

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Many challenges face today's coatings specifiers in selecting high performance coatings and linings. New formulations are being developed to meet changing performance needs and also future VOC requirements. Evaluation of these "new" coatings and linings can be difficult. It is the purpose of this paper to look at past, current and future coating evaluation methods in order to develop a testing protocol that can be used to assist in the selection of high performance coatings and linings for wastewater environments.

Galvanic Corrosion in Water & Wastewater Structures: Coupling Stainless and Carbon Metals Leads to Accelerated Corrosion

Product Number: 41214-840-SG

Author: Vaughn O’Dea, Travis C. Tatum, Pat Barry, Paul B. Higgins

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Stainless steel is selected for use in the municipal waterworks industry because of its inherent corrosion resistance properties. Designers oftentimes overlook the associated problems with coupling stainless steel with carbon steel metals. When these materials are electrically connected and placed into aqueous environments (immersion service) accelerated corrosion of the anodic carbon steel metal is initiated.

Industrial Water Treatment New Trends, Challenges, and Solutions

Product Number: 37628-pdf

ISBN: 978-1-57590-457-3

Author: Edited by Zahid Amjad and Tao Chen

$135.00

This book covers the scientific and technological perspectives of industrial water treatment. The book’s 27 chapters are divided into three sections.

Section A (Chapters 1 through 12) deals with the formation and inhibition of scale-forming salts—including calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate dihydrate, calcium oxalate, silica, and calcium phosphate—as well as the removal of impurities and the dispersion and stabilization of suspended matter in cooling and desalination systems.

Section B consists of four chapters and focuses on the fundamentals of corrosion and its control in industrial water systems.

Section C comprises 11 chapters (Chapters 17 through 27) and deals with scale formation, inhibition, challenges, and limitation in the oil and gas industry. The discussions cover conventional scale to exotic scale (e.g., iron sulfide) from conventional and unconventional resources, such as scaling in shale gas field.

This book is intended primarily for scientists, researchers, technologists, and engineers working in the water treatment and water purification industries around the globe. Researchers in other industries—such as pharmaceutical, medical, and food—who are involved in the use of high-purity water, as well as those in academia, will also find useful information here.
