Factors to Consider When Choosing Pipes for Drainage System

For every building, commercial, industrial or residential, the installation of a drainage system is of the essence. The right choice of pipe networks in the drainage and sewage system makes a significant difference in ensuring accidental leaks which can affect the life of the construction itself, obliterates the foul smells which may arise from the flow of drainage and waste water. While the location of the pipes and the network, over the ground, or underground, also determines the choice of drainage pipe, the following technical factors are important for choosing the best pipes for the drainage system for your construction:

1.Length of the pipe: To prevent leakages, it is preferred that drainage pipes have fewer joints. In such cases, PVC pipes are an ideal choice as these pipes do not have too many joints and are easily screwed on.

2.Quality of sewage: The type of sewage which flows out of the drainage system will also determine the type of pipe to be chose for the drainage system. If the sewage is being pre-treated, the pipe will be different as opposed to pipes which enable the flow of untreated sewage.

3.Surface conditions: The placement of the pipe network will also determine the type of pipes chosen. If the pipes are laid underground, the soil conditions will determine the choice of pipes. For instance, soils with greater sulphate presence can corrode the pipes of the drainage system faster.

4.Durability: Long lasting and durable pipes are the most preferred options for drainage systems. Metal and clay pipes are hence best avoided as they are extremely brittle and corrode much faster as opposed to the newer plastic pipes which have the ability to withstand wear and tear over a much longer duration.

5.Resistance to chemical attacks: Drainage and sewage pipes must be resistance to chemical attacks. The sewage flowing from homes and industries often consists of chemicals and toxins which can lead to corrosion of the pipes and damage the drainage system.

6.Abrasion resistance: Presence of gritty material in the sewage can cause the pipe material to be damaged and lost over time. Cement and concrete pipes are particularly affected under such conditions. For lasting abrasion resistance, PVC and other plastic pipes are a more reliable option.

The Different Stages Of Operation In A Water Treatment System

Image
 Access to clean and safe water is a basic necessity for the people on the planet. Water from different sources must be first treated to make it fit for use in homes and other buildings. This is accomplished through the installation of water treatment systems. Since the water can be from different sources, it can have different levels of contaminants which will need to be removed or filtered out for the different purposes that the water is to be employed in. The water treatment system has a number of different stages through which the raw water must be processed. These stages are as follows: 1.        Coagulation: The raw water is collected in a reservoir or water tank, after which, coagulation is carried out to remove the majority of the contaminants. Chemicals may be added for this purpose which remove the fine particles by combining them with the heavy particles in the water which settle at the bottom of the tank by the action of gravity. 2. ...

Understanding the Importance of Installing Water Treatment Systems

The water that is supplied to our homes and other buildings can be contaminated along the way by several sources. These include disease-causing microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and amoeba as well as the eggs and larvae of parasites. Harmful toxins and waste products from industrial and agricultural discharge can also find their way into the water, along with chemical and mineral content in the form of fluorides and arsenic which can be harmful to our health. In order to make the water clean and fit for consumption and other domestic activities, it is important to purify it through water treatment systems. This can be done through a variety of procedures which involves installing a treatment system and connecting it to the network of plastic pipe for water supply.

Benefits of Installing Wastewater Management System

Image
Water conservation has become a key agenda for the world today. Given the predicted shortages and the scarcity being faced in many parts of the world at present, saving and recycling water can serve as a measure to ensure everyone gets access to this natural resource. One of the ways this can be done is by the installation of a wastewater management system. A wastewater management system recycles the water disposed off from households, from toilets, rainwater & stormwater runoff, kitchen sinks, etc. and makes it safe for disposal to larger water bodies or for reuse in irrigation of crops. There are several benefits of installing wastewater management systems, which are listed as follows:
