Pipe Resurfacing and Resin Coating System Process
See Installation Process

This system of positive/negative pressure is uniquely effective for cleaning and coating the interior of any type of pipe.

Our system for cleaning and coating pipes helps to avoid a complete or partial re-piping, which is of great advantage for example in the case of pipes installed behind walls, in shafts, slabs or in soil. The only thing that needs to be done is to dismount the instruments or devices at each end of the pipe and to mount them again after the cleaning and coating of the pipes is finished.

Accretions in the pipes are removed by flowing abrasives such as quartz, sand, glass or similar material via pressure and vacuum. Pipes are then coated inside by a propriety liquid coating system. This patented system can be used for installed or non-installed pipes.

The main reason for accretions in the pipes is that many materials are very water-soluble. Water absorbs the gases dissolved in the air, namely oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. In soil it dissolves the salts of calcium, magnesium and other materials, which in turn determine the characteristics of water depending on the content level. A decisive factor in this equation is the hardness of the water that indicates how many hardening constituents are dissolved in the water.

When calcium and magnesium bond with dissolved carbon dioxide (carbonic acid), the results are bicarbonates. These bonds are again destroyed when water is heated as carbonic acid escapes and calcium-containing accretions in amorphous or crystalline form appear.

The results are scale deposits from the water. The scale is deposited first at the location that has the highest temperature, thus at the heat transfer surface; it leads to heat accumulation, interferes with the heat transfer and leads to the premature destruction of the water conduit. There will also be accretions in the pipes, a narrowing of the diameter, which reduces the throughput, and the formation of pits, ultimately jeopardizing the entire water supply.
