Potable Water Systems
Protection for Drinking Water Distribution and Industrial Food Manufacturing Systems
The United States is fortunate to have drinking water distribution systems that can provide clean water to even the most remote areas of the country. Although access is not a problem, maintaining the aging infrastructure of pipes and water systems can be an uphill battle.
Potable water tanks that are concrete, steel, or glass-lined can break down over time and become vulnerable to corrosion. Corrosion is caused when the substrate 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 Tanks
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 clean rooms and water treatment plants. In addition to the rehabilitation of water tanks and potable water systems, OBIC 1100PW also protects against future corrosion, extending the life of the affected 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. Many customers often select to coat new structures to protect their investment from the start.
