Introduction: What are Clarifiers? Clarifiers are essential components in water and wastewater treatment plants. These large settling tanks—typically constructed of concrete or steel—are designed to continuously remove solid particulates or suspended solids from liquids through sedimentation. Because they sit at the heart of the treatment process, clarifiers are constantly exposed to mechanical wear from scrapers, […]
Introduction: The Relentless Attack on Concrete Infrastructure Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) and Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are crucial, yet constantly under attack. Concrete tanks, clarifiers, and secondary containment areas are relentlessly assaulted by two primary threats: Chemical Corrosion: Acids, caustic chemicals, and disinfection byproducts (like chlorine and ozone) leach minerals from the concrete, leading to […]
For assets exposed to the harsh atmospheric elements, the focus shifts from permanent immersion (internal lining) to External lining mitigating UV degradation, thermal cycling, and atmospheric corrosion. Liquimix recommends a robust, multi-layered system centered on high-performance polyurea and UV-stable polyaspartic technology. External Tank Protection & Corrosion Control Solutions The Recommended System: Tufflon Polyurea & Opalon […]

Remediation, protection and life extension of a water facility The three-step life extension program: 1.Prepare Damaged concrete that has been corroded and broken, chipped or cracked must be rehabilitated. This will often require concrete leak repair, replacement or repair of reinforcement bars and rendering to rehabilitate the concrete substrate back to its original profile. 2.Prime […]
