Potable Water Systems
Protecting drinking water distribution systems
Drinking water distribution systems rely on metallic and concrete pipes, which are vulnerable to corrosion. Corrosion, or rust, is caused when the metal in the pipes reacts with the oxygen in the water or when the protective layer in concrete steel reinforcement is destroyed. Although a common occurrence, corrosion may not be noticed until it begins to affect the quality of the drinking water and is often a difficult and time-consuming issue to resolve.
Interior coatings for potable water systems
ART specializes in the installation of interior coatings that will rehabilitate and protect potable water systems from the effects of corrosion. Using OBIC 1100PW, we can repair everything from storage tanks and distribution lines to aqueducts and water treatment plants. In addition to the rehabilitation of aging pipes and potable water systems, OBIC 1100PW also protects against future corrosion, extending the life of the affected pipes or systems by decades.
OBIC 1100PW is designed specifically for USDA Food & Beverage compliant applications. Potable water approved for ANSI 61 barrier material, the fast-set polyurea application is long-lasting and will have you up and running again with minimal downtime. Typical installations include potable water containment, water treatment, industrial facilities, food processing plants and bottling & canning plants.
