Water and Waste Water Treatment

Water is an essential and indispensable element in nearly all domestic and industrial applications. To be successful in the production of water for both drinking and industrial applications requires the right materials of production. By choosing the appropriate piping material, valves and instrumentation; conveyance, control and measurement are optimized and therefore a constant and predictable quality can be assured.  

GF Piping Systems offers the optimal system solution needed to exceed the global requirements for the production of water for use in domestic and industrial applications. Depending on the application area, the choice of plastic material for pipes, valves and fittings - according to their chemical and mechanical properties - is essential for a long-lasting system. By choosing the appropriate instrumentation for measurement, control and chemical dosing processes, a constant water quality can be ensured. Furthermore, the automation and technology setting is one of the decisive aspects to optimize total cost of ownership. With the high quality system solutions of GF Piping Systems - offering pipes, fittings, automation and instrumentation from one source - the optimal compatibility of all components is warranted.

The shortage of drinking water and the subsequently valuable nature of the resource, gives high significance to an efficient purification process. Several sources for the production of drinking water - varying from groundwater and sea water through surface or brackish water - have been exploited over the years, demanding diverse treatment efforts. In this context, legal and normative standards, together with specific requirements of the distribution grids, give direction to the design of the processes. With complete solutions made of plastics, we offer an extensive product portfolio, serving the increasing demand for potable water worldwide.

Innovative solutions for a continuously growing market Ensuring drinking water supply worldwide is one of the key challenges today and therefore one of the most important and fastest growing industry sectors. Systems for water intake, production, purification and distribution need to adapt to the diverse regional conditions. Despite the differences, a constant high water quality is required throughout the whole process, which places high demands on the system solution.

Producing drinking water is a demanding challenge which requires the right systems behind the scenes. Depending on the application area, the choice of plastic material for pipes, valves and fittings - according to their chemical and mechanical properties - is essential for a long-lasting system.

By choosing the appropriate instrumentation for measurement, control and chemical dosing processes, a constant water quality can be ensured. Furthermore, the automation and technology setting is one of the decisive aspects to optimise total cost of ownership. With the high quality system solutions of GF Piping Systems - offering pipes, fittings, automation and instrumentation from one source - the optimal compatibility of all components is warranted.

Installation of efficient and environmentally friendly methods for municipal waste water treatment plants is one of the main challenges of our time. Key developments such as the combination of waste water treatment plants with water recycling processes aim for optimization regarding quality, life-cycle costs and environmental requirements. Instead of discharging the treated effluent into a receiving water, reuse systems arrange further purification steps until the waste water reaches either potability status or fulfils an industrial specification. Advanced plastic solutions meet those challenges, allowing significant process optimization at the same time. 

Waste water treatment consists of a combination of physical, chemical and biological processes to remove solids or organic matter from waste water, allowing water discharge or sustainable water recovery. Local regulations monitor the discharge and recycle processes by carefully checking the outfall water quality. Systems for waste water treatment operations - supplied by GF Piping Systems - optimise the fluid transportation and treatment, consequently encouraging today’s higher environmental awareness.

Stringent regulations and binding laws demand state-ofthe-art technologies in sewage plants today. Membrane technologies, chemical dosing systems and polymer preparations are only some of the applications that require efficient and safe water conveyance systems. Meeting high requirements in terms of process quality and safety as well as concerning environmentally relevant factors needs to be warranted. With its complete and dedicated range of products, GF Piping Systems offers reliable and innovative solutions for the waste water treatment process. Combined with the appropriate automation technology, proven plastic systems like ecoFIT (HDPE), PROGEF (PP) or PVC allow entire water reclaim applications to optimize their efficiency and their safety along with a long system life cycle.

Power plants, petrochemical complexes, steel mills, ore processing facilities and many, many other water intensive industries are increasingly forced by authorities to clean their waste water before disposal into rivers and lakes.

GF Piping Systems provides a large variety of products for safe transport of high toxic and corrosive waste water streams from any kind of industries. Besides process pipes we have a fully integrated solution for any other pipe requirements on waste water treatment plants such as for media like compressed, air flushing water, drinking water etc.

Waste water treatment plants for inorganic caustics and acids are small chemical plants themselves. Corrosion resistance and staff safety are the top priority issues for waste containing piping systems. GF Piping Systems’ philosophy for safe transport of liquids and gases meets these advanced process needs. GF products are designed for a maximum of uptime reliability and maintenance simplicity and a minimum of energy consumption during operation.
