Protection and repair of water and waste water treatment plants

Water is our most important natural resource! In water supply systems and wastewater management structures concrete is the most commonly used construction material. Higher plant throughputs, more efficient handling and new processes for the treatment of fresh and waste water have given rise to more demanding durability specifications. Concrete is an alkaline material and therefore by nature not resistant to acid, and conventional protective coatings, based on reactive resins, have not always produced the desired results.

For more than 40 years MC-Bauchemie has been meeting the challenges of developing permanent systems for the protection of concrete and the restoration of damaged concrete surfaces. The decades of research led to the development of new mineral-based systems, which now, after 10 years in use, have proven performance on site and passed all practical tests with flying colours.

This brochure gives an overview of a number of international projects in the water and wastewater management sectors. Whether using a mineral-based or highly acid-resistant polymer-silicate surface protection system, durable results are assured with MCs products.

MC offers you not only innovation and competence in research and development, but also advice and assistance on site. An extensive network of competent experts that are versed in the special application technologies ensures the success of your construction project.

Competence and experience: MC is your partner for preventive surface protection and restoration in the areas of water supply and wastewater management!

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRASIL

Sewage Plant Pavna

Objective: Product: To stop the leakage from digester tanks MC-Injekt 2300 NV, MC-DUR 1264 TR-NL, MC-DUR Kleber PU 47 2000 Cracks in the concrete walls of the digester tanks, if unsealed, would have permitted the leakage of sewage under treatment. Due to the pattern and location of the cracks, it was neccessary to use a combination of rigid and flexible resins. The selection of resin was based on whether the point of injection was to form a single rigid element or whether to allow for movement. Thanks to MC-Bauchemies wide range of products, the engineers could easily select the most appropriate material and consider all design factors.

FRIESENHEIM, GERMANY

Wastewater Treatment Plant

Objective: Product: Year: Project Information: Rehabilitation of the screw pump and of one sedimentation tank MC-RIM, Nafufill KM 250 2002 The primary sedimentation tank of the watewater treatment plant in Friesenheim (southern Germany) was repaired with Nafufill KM 250 and coated with MC-RIM. Inside the screw pump the trough surfaces of the Archimedean screw were corroded, decreasing the delivery rate. This not only led to a rise in energy costs, but also caused hydraulic problems because of the increased backup in the collector. After it had been repaired with the mechanically resistant MC-RIM, the pump could once again be operated at full capacity.

FRANKFURT GRIESHEIM, GERMANY

Wastewater Treatment Plant

Objective: Concrete repair and surface protection against the effects of biogenic sulphuric acid MC-RIM, Zentrifix KMH, Nafufill KM 250 HS, KM 110 HS, Konusit KK 10 2002 / 2003 The wastewater treatment plant at Frankfurt-Griesheim has an equivalent population capacity of 1.35 million. It is as such one of the largest plants serving Frankfurt am Main. It is unusual in that the plant only comprises the mechanical purification stage and the waste water is then pumped under the River Main to the biological purification stage located at Frankfurt Niederrath. Damage to the concrete of the connecting pipe was repaired and also protected from further attack and corrosion by spraying with MC-RIM. In addition the enclosed intake structure was coated with Konusit KK 10 to provide permanent protection against attack from biogenic sulphuric acid.

Box Basin Wastewater Treatment Plant Constance

Objective: Product: Year: Project Information: Concrete repair and surface protection on wall and base surfaces. Nafufill KM 250, Nafufill KM 130, MC-RIM, MC-RIM F 2004 The plant at Constance treats and purifies waste water from approximately 320,000 households in the district. In 2004 a project was undertaken to change the use of the primary sedimentation tank into an aeration tank. This process involved the removal of the existing damaged and degraded epoxy tar coating. Due to the nature of such products extensive safety precautions were implemented to protect operatives and the environment. To provide the necessary protection against the aggressive effects of waste water in the future MC-RIM and MC-RIM F were selected as a safe and environmentally friendly alternative.
