“Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Coating Systems,” scheduled for Wednesday (Sept. 21), examines the performance requirements for coatings and linings used on sound concrete substrates in areas of a municipal wastewater treatment facility.

What You’ll Learn

This webinar provides performance requirements for coatings and linings used on sound concrete substrates in principal service environments of areas of a municipal wastewater treatment facility, including:

• Collection systems (manholes, lift stations, pump stations, tunnels and interceptors);
• Preliminary treatment systems (grit chambers, headworks and screening structures);
• Primary treatment systems (sedimentation tanks and primary clarifiers);
• Secondary treatment systems (aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, chlorine contact chambers and oxygenation chambers);
• Advanced treatment systems (filtration units);
• Solids handling areas (digesters and dewatering structures); and
• Chemical storage (secondary containment structures).
