Norway is famed for the beauty of its rugged landscapes, but hilly or mountainous country can be a nightmare for wastewater engineers. With no flat or downhill route available between communities and the wastewater treatment facilities that serve them, reliable infrastructure requires some creative thinking. One way to connect inaccessible locations is with small diameter, […]
Polymers play a key role at municipal/industrial water and wastewater treatment plants, but also bring the risk of major disruption and extra expense if they are not handled with reliable, leak-free equipment. A polymer leak can halt production and be costly, time-consuming and labor-intensive to clean up, and also creates a safety risk. Precision Chemical, […]
