Operating throughout Europe, agriKomp GmbH is a company specialising in the development and manufacture of biogas plants. All the major components of the plants are manufactured in-house. Owing to their modular design, they can be added to at any time, providing a very high level of flexibility. The digestion process uses liquid manure, dung, green material, silage and cereal. The key components of the biogas plants have to be made of a material with maximum corrosion resistance. Therefore, agriKomp GmbH opted for SIMONA® PE 100. In contrast to steel, SIMONA® PE 100 pipes and fittings combine excellent corrosion resistance with a high level of UV stability, which makes them the perfect choice when it comes to the construction of high-end biogas plants.

BLS Netz AG operates a rail network spanning more than 900 km. Direct proximity to Lake Thun and Lake Brienz as well as minuscule differences in altitude regularly cause the groundwater level to rise and penetrate the trackbed. To prevent the trackbed from being destabilised, the existing drainage system made of concrete pipes was renewed with SIMODRAIN® drainage pipes. This construction project was realised with SIMONA® SIMODRAIN® drainage pipes with an OD of 250 mm, SDR 21, and 10 mm slotting, specially developed for traffic route drainage.

The Water Utilities Association of Untere Niddatal decided to renew a local elevated water tank in order to maintain the quality of drinking water well into the future. The chlorinated rubber with which the tank had been coated was beginning to peel off the interior walls, and the cement plaster was gradually disintegrating. Lined with SIMONA® PE sheets – light blue 340 –, the tank is now fit for purpose again and the quality of drinking water has been safeguarded for many years to come. In addition to a long service life, the SIMONA® PE liner offers tangible financial benefits, such as lower maintenance costs; PE sheets can be cleaned quickly and efficiently without the use of chemical detergents.

Owing to increasing corrosion damage, Bad Sobernheim Municipal Works decided to repair and renovate the tiled drinking-water storage tank (HB III). By lining the tank with SIMONA® PE sheets, light blue, 340, engineers were able to eliminate hydrolytic corrosion permanently. Visible corrosion points were initially repaired at various points in order to stop the corrosion process in the long term while retaining the existing basic structural fabric of the water chamber. The light blue SIMONA® PE sheets were then doweled in place and welded together by a process of firm bonding.

Nehlsen Flugzeug-Galvanik needed two new tanks for electroplating aircraft components. The process, which takes place in strongly oxidising chromic acid, placed special demands on both material and design solution. In this case, however, a strongly oxidising acid – chromic acid – is used, and PP-H possesses an inadequate chemical resistance for this purpose. Therefore, the “loose-shirt lining” system, with a highly resistant internal wall material, was selected.

Owing to the high load of combustion gases on the fluegas desulphurisation plant in Niederaussem, RWE Energie AG decided on renovation. On account of corrosion the rubber-lined steel pipes generally have a service life of 5 to 8 years. For this reason a search was conducted for material which would be able to replace the rubber-lined steel pipes previously used as blast lances. The new material would have to have a longer service life and ensure a high degree of operational reliability, and thus reduce running costs. Therefore RWE Energie AG decided in favour of SIMONA® PP-H 100 AlphaPlus – a material which meets all the criteria.

The Erftverband, as owner and operator of the Niederdrees sewage treatment plant, was faced with the decision of either modernising the Niederdrees sewage treatment plant to conform to current technology, or to transfer the sewage requiring treatment to the Rheinbach sewage treatment plant, located 3 kilometres away. Ultimately, the demands of the local water authority to lead the pipes below the waterways using trenchless technology, and the potential cost savings of not having to open and reseal the access route pavements were critical in the decision to execute the construction measures by means of the horizontal flush drilling methods.
