In the water and drinking water treatment, piping systems must have good flow characteristics and excellent chemical and corrosion resistance. Designers need to deliver an efficient solution whose standards of hygiene must comply with applicable local municipality codes and practices.

The piping systems in chemical production are subjected to extreme conditions. Aggressive substances need to be transported and processed, which places high demands on the system solutions. Besides being very reliable, these need to afford safety and efficiency as well as maximum corrosion protection. Transporting chemicals from their storage place to the actual process application must be planned and carried out reliably and safely. For the components of the piping system this means the materials used must be one hundred percent compatible with the properties of the chemicals.

In the marine industry, when building offshore rigs, cruise ships, boats and luxury yachts, low weight, marine class approved pipes are required. Plastic can save weight compared to metal, and it is less liable to corrosion. Saving weight on ships also means to give more space to passengers and it results in less fuel consumption. In such fast-paced environments, low maintenance is also a key aspect to consider.

Food processing plants require professional process piping systems capable of providing reliable and safe cooling and heating solutions, managing chemical corrosive products, and most of all guaranteeing potable, high-quality water.

Power plants require a variety of chemicals in order to maintain the process of energy generation. The most sensitive application areas are cooling and boiler water treatment, since a failure here impacts directly the continuity of the energy generation process, often by chemical corrosion. The cooling of media used is a key requirement in a variety of processes. Water used for power plant cooling is chemically altered for the purpose of extending the useful life of the associated equipment, and to ensure greater system reliability.
