OriginClear’s Heavy Duty Plastics Meet Stringent Specifications Other Materials Couldn’t
Conventional Materials Wouldn’t Do
An industrial customer in the Midwest treating landfill leachate needed a wastewater treatment plant to process highly toxic effluents and comply with regulatory requirements. Their Engineer Of Record (EOR) designed a wastewater collection system for them specifying High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) all plastic infrastructure components for the collection and conveyance system. Due to the caustic characteristic of the wastewater being treated the system required the heavy plastic components to resist the corrosive environment. Concrete and fiberglass were unacceptable alternatives.
The Contractor hired to install the system reached out looking for vendors to supply the Pump Stations and we responded with our bid. OriginClear was chosen to supply twin structurally reinforced thermoplastic (SRTP) based packaged lift stations. Due to their superior corrosion resistance, far lower acquisition and installation cost and extended lifespan of 3-4X typical concrete, fiberglass and steel constructions , OriginClear’s products made the ideal system solution. The systems were completed and fully packaged in our fabrication facilities, trucked in and rapidly installed within a week.
