Viscoelastics 101: Revolutionizing Water and Wastewater Treatment
In the complex world of water and wastewater treatment, finding innovative and efficient solutions is crucial for ensuring safety, sustainability, and compliance with environmental standards. Among the various technologies and materials at the disposal of industry professionals, viscoelastic materials stand out due to their unique properties and versatility. As your technical advisors specializing in water and wastewater facilities, we offer an in-depth understanding of how viscoelastic materials can revolutionize treatment processes, along with comprehensive training, troubleshooting, and technical support to maximize their benefits.
Understanding Viscoelastic Materials
Viscoelastic materials exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. This means they have the ability to both flow like a liquid under sustained pressure and return to their original shape like an elastic solid once the pressure is removed. This dual nature makes viscoelastics particularly useful in a variety of applications, from industrial processes to everyday products.
In the context of water and wastewater treatment, viscoelastic materials are valued for their ability to absorb and dissipate energy, reduce vibrations and noise, and improve the mechanical efficiency of treatment processes. Their unique properties enable them to be used in filtration, sludge processing, and even in the maintenance and protection of equipment.
Applications in Water and Wastewater Fields
Tank Repair: See how a tank with a large crack in need of repair was fixed within hours instead of days using Viscotaq Viscoelastic Sealant.
Potable Water Pipeline Protection: Contaminated soils can jepordize critical for water pipes. The Viscotaq viscoelastic system can be used to successfully prevent hazardous contaminants from inflitrating these pipelines at gaskets and joints.
Tank Chime Repairs: In this case study USI used viscoelastic sealant and wrap to seal a 1-1/2 inch gap that needed to be filled. Viscotaq products were used to create a seal and long lasting corrosion protection for this tank.
