New Coating Systems Help Protect Aging Wastewater Infrastructure

摘要

Afflicted by pipe failures, sewer backups and sewage spills, America's wastewater infrastructure is clearly showing its age. Most municipal sewer systems are 75 to 100 years old, and nearly all are compromised to some degree by corrosion, overburdening and structural fatigue. Even as these existing systems are deteriorating, population demands are pressing upon cities to expand their wastewater collection capabilities.
