Fiber Reinforced Polymer Profiles For The Wastewater Industry

Water & Wastewater Markets

Fiber reinforced polymer profiles have been successfully used for corrosion control for over 20 years in all types of water and wastewater applications.

When Milwaukee's wastewater plant gets overloaded during a storm, sewer waters are diverted into deep tunnels. Following the storm, water and waste matter is pumped from the tunnels to the treatment plant.
Included in the deep tunnel project are 60 carbon filters that perform as vent shaft deodorizing filter frames. Constructed using Pultex® 4" x 3/8" angle, 3/8" flat sheet, 1-1/2" round tube and 1/2" Superstud!TM/Nuts!, each filter measures 6' x 12' x 2', as shown at left.

Ladders, platforms and handrail systems have also been designed and fabricated from fiber reinforced polymer products to be installed in the access shafts.

Profiles are high strength for such uses as:

• handrails
• grating and walkway systems
• cell partitions
• sludge flights and more
   

CP pultruded profiles provide:

• lasting performance light weight and high strength
• high structural proprties
• corrosion resistane
• part integration
• inherent color
• dimensional stability over wide temperature ranges
