Can Your Pipe Pass the Acid Test?
Water & Wastes Digest
December 2003
Over the course of the past two years, many water treatment plants in the U.S. have faced troubles with existing sulfuric acid piping systems, due to a change in acid supply. E-CTFE pipe can withstand 98+% sulfuric acid, a concentration that causes PVDF pipe
to fail.

When a sewer line carrying 2?3 of the flow from the city of Thousand Oaks, Calif., was in need of repair, Hobas Pipe USA, Inc., was chosen as part of the solution. Hobas pipe was chosen to replace a damaged and deteriorating concrete sewer pipeline because of long-term corrosion resistance and durability.
Preserving A Revenue Stream

Contractors and utility officials in Water District #10 in Delaware County, Okla., had always used PVC pipe for their water systems, in part because it was available in blue for easy identification in the ground. When a manufacturing members of the Plastics Pipe Institute developed a solid blue high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe for potable water applications, the battle between HDPE pipe and PVC pipe was on. In the end, HDPE was selected for this particular application.

The city of Tucson Arizona was recently disrupted by the largest sewer bypass operation in the nation's history. Over 20 miles of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe has been fused together in just four and a half weeks to bypass a ruptured sewer line. HDPE is the only piping material in existence with a leak free rating and many experts in the industry feel it is the solution to the industry-wide problems associated with aging and failing infrastructure

Plastic and Plastic Lined Pipe
Water Engineering & Management
September 1967
George E. Symons, Ph.D.
In about 1965, a specially designed plastic pipe, termed truss pipe, was introduced in sizes of 8-, 10-, 12-, and 15-inch diameters. In 1967, a British manufacturer announced the production of extruded polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC) in diameters up to 16 inches, with the future possibility of producing up to 30-inch pipe. These developments undoubtedly will lead to the wider use of plastic pipe for sewers.
