Corrosion-free thermoplastic piping systems and connected services for your power generation projects
Corrosion in steel piping and other metal based piping system elements is a widespread issue in the power generation industry. Common symptoms are pitting, leakages, encrustations and inoperable or blocked valves, which will negatively impact the performance, efficiency, lifetime and operational safety of the piping system as well as the power plant as a whole. Ultimately these problems will lead to piping system failures, increased maintenance and repair costs or even profit losses for power plant owners and operators from production interruptions or unplanned outages.
This webinar will talk about how to avoid all of the above mentioned problems by employing thermoplastic piping solutions in your power plant projects. Today a wide range of advanced thermoplastic materials is available to provide solutions for many typical power plant piping applications in conventional and renewable power generation. Product portfolios covering everything from pipes, fittings, valves, actuators up to matching sensors and automation equipment will enable EPC companies and system manufacturers to design and build high-quality all-plastic piping solutions which completely avoid any corrosion risks and will last for the whole lifetime of the power generation asset they are serving.
Of course certain aspects in material selection, engineering and designing with thermoplastics and proper quality assurance have to be considered to achieve high-quality, efficient and long-lasting piping system results for your power generation customers. This webinar will show how all involved piping project stakeholders such as Engineers & Consultants, EPC companies, general contractors, system integrators, installers and also plant owners & operators can benefit from a total solution approach for thermoplastics in all stages along their journey towards a successful piping project.
Please join us for this webinar session to learn how you can solve your power plant piping corrosion challenges.
