Sanitation

Technical solutions for water tightness, durability, and continuous operational reliability. Water treatment infrastructures operate in highly aggressive environments, with constant exposure to humidity, chemicals, and immersion conditions that accelerate the deterioration of both concrete and metal.

At Aplika Control Corrosión, we develop technical solutions aimed at the protection, waterproofing, and conservation of infrastructure destined for water management and treatment, such as assets in wastewater and industrial water treatment plants, hydraulic systems, and fire protection networks. We combine advanced coating technologies with specialized engineering services to extend asset service life and ensure safe operation.

Applicable Solutions for Water Treatment

• Anticorrosive Coatings (ISO 12944): Specialized protection for tanks, structures, and metallic piping under immersion, burial, and severe atmospheric conditions.
• Coatings for CUI, CUF, and High Temperature (AMPP SP0198): Corrosion control under thermal insulation and fireproofing systems in process lines and equipment.
• Thermal Insulation Coatings: Applied to reduce surface temperature, mitigate condensation, and control humidity without bulky insulation.
• Surface Tolerant Coatings for Maintenance: Operational maintenance solutions with reliable performance when limited surface preparation is possible.
• ARO Coatings for Mechanical Protection: Systems designed for areas subjected to abrasion, impact, or wear, such as buried lines.
• Passive Fire Protection (PFP): Intumescent coatings and mortars to protect critical structures against cellulosic and pool fires.
• Repair and Reinforcement with Composites: Technologies using carbon or glass fiber to restore mechanical integrity in assets with thickness loss.
• Concrete Protection Coatings: Coating systems for the rehabilitation and repair of concrete infrastructure exposed to chemical agents.
• Grouting and Industrial Anchors: Epoxy or cementitious solutions for precise machinery fixing and efficient transfer of dynamic and static loads.

Deterioration Factors and Operational Risks

Water treatment facilities face severe conditions that can compromise their structural and functional performance:

• Chemical attack from industrial or contaminated wastewater.
• Permanent humidity and continuous immersion of critical components.
• Abrasion and wear caused by flow and suspended solids.
• Internal and external corrosion in tanks, lines, and metallic structures.
• Loss of water tightness, a key risk in containment systems.

Operational and Economic Benefits

• Increased durability of exposed tanks and structures.
• Reduced corrective maintenance through optimized planning.
• Greater operational reliability in critical hydraulic systems.
• Regulatory compliance with international technical standards.
• Environmental protection, preventing leaks, seepage, and contamination.
