How can Zeoturb Flocculant Provide Effective Flocculation Water Treatment While Protecting Sewers?
Published on by Nick Nicholas, App Eng/Technical Director at Genesis Water Technologies, Inc. in Technology
Concrete distribution and sewer networks are being corroded at an alarming rate partly because of a commonly used additive for conventional flocculation in the domestic drinking water and waste water treatment process according to published reports in the journal Science.
In countries throughout the world from industrialized nations like Australia and the USA to developing nations like Colombia, Ghana and the Philippines, the lifespan of these concrete pipe networks is being reduced by levels upwards of 90%.
Urban societies in particular are dependent upon infrastructure support to function optimally and efficiently. Waste water collection and water distribution networks are critical components of the modern cities of today. These systems protect public health as well as enable economic productivity of our communities and nations.
In this article, we discuss why this is issue is occurring, what is it costing utilities to maintain these sewer collection network systems, and how can these issues can be rectified with treatment process adjustments and a suitable solution.
