Seawater desalination
SIMONA® pipes and fittings used serving sea water desalination
SIMONA is dedicated in particular to the pipes and fittings market in seawater desalination plants that use the reverse osmosis principle.
Many plants are usually made of high-quality stainless steel. However, acid or saline water limits the life of such piping. Thermoplastics from SIMONA live longer. In addition to excellent corrosion resistance, a long service life of up to 100 years, very smooth interior surfaces to prevent incrustation and high resistance to saline water, they also offer high resistance to a very wide range of chemicals.
Advantages of SIMONA® plastics over stainless steel
- Economical
- High chemical resistance
- High durability
- Lower maintenance costs
- Lasting corrosion resistance
- Excellent processing parameters
- Completely tightly welded systems
- Good long-term properties compared to many media
- No incrustation
- No root ingrowth
- Easy cleaning
SIMONA® PP-H AlphaPlus® prevents corrosion and is resistant to many chemicals. Thanks to the very high distillate quality, the material is ideally suited for the treatment of drinking water.
