Corrosion to pipes, valves and fittings caused by chemicals and microbes can greatly impact the bottom line at water and wastewater treatment plants. Engineers and procurement officials must find cost-effective technologies that ensure quality and reliability. For more than 20 years, The Lubrizol Corporation has been providing water treatment solutions with Corzan® Industrial Systems.

corzan indusTrial sysTems exceed The expecTed in waTer TreaTmenT

corzan industrial systems, made from non-corrosive high-performance chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (cpvc), are field-proven to meet the ever-increasing demands of progressive water treatment. The system provides an excellent balance of properties that improve reliability and confidence while reducing capital and life-cycle costs.

Corzan Industrial SystemsHigh-Performance IndustrialPiping Systems for Water andWastewater Treatment Plants

corzan indusTrial sysTems are high-impact strength systems, available in up to 24"

diameters, engineered with Lubrizol’s specially formulated CPVC, a corrosion-resistant technology

that eliminates pitting and scaling while providing superior life-cycle benefits.

After years of service, the Corzan pipe shows no sign of corrosion, scaling or degradation.

Metal pipe shown here exhibiting both internal and external corrosion.

In secondary wastewater treatment processes, piping is exposed to high concentrations of microorganisms when excessive biological growth washes out and collects in a clarifier. Byproducts of these microbes, including acids or hydrogen sulfide, along with disinfectants and dechlorination chemicals, contribute to the corrosion of metallic piping systems. Corzan Industrial Systems are up to the effects of both chemical and microbial corrosion— even when used to transport highly concentrated acids and caustic solutions used for pH control. Corzan pipe and fittings can also be used in outdoor applications, as they have excellent UV resistance and high heat tolerance.

Corzan pipe and fittings are ideal for primary wastewater treatment, as they are not susceptible to microbial corrosion and are resistant to commonly used chemicals, including ferrous chloride, ferric chloride and alum. They have also been used effectively in alkaline lime slurry systems that neutralize the acid generated during the nitrification of ammonia.

Since they are resistant to scaling and fouling, Corzan Industrial Systems maintain their friction factor throughout their entire service life. With a constant Hazen Williams C Factor of 150, smaller piping can often be specified, resulting in significant cost savings. That also means less energy or horsepower is required to transfer fluids.

Corzan indusTrial sysTeMs Go anyWhere your WaTer Goes.

With today’s long list of odor control mandates, Corzan Industrial Systems are a proven material used in both traditional wastewater applications and in scrubbers and ancillary equipment. Whether a plant is using sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite in its wet air scrubbers at temperatures as high as 200°F, or using metal chelating agents in a liquid redox process, Corzan Industrial Systems offer the chemical resistance and superior high-temperature performance that wastewater odor control processes require.

Corzan Industrial Systems meet the demands of advanced water treatment processes. Corzan Industrial Systems perform reliably even when exposed to cooling tower applications and handling nominal concentrations of methanol for biological denitrification. Ideal for double-containment systems, which are often required to transport treatment chemicals underground, Corzan pipe and fittings are pressure rated to 200°F.

saFe, reliable soluTions For PoTable WaTer sysTeMs

Corzan Industrial Systems are well suited for use where raw water is treated with corrosive chemicals or where chloride levels exceed the limitations of 316L stainless steel. Corrosion resistant and strong, Corzan pipe and fittings have demonstrated exceptional long-term performance in water distribution applications—even in aggressive saltwater environments.

Piping systems constructed with Corzan Industrial Systems are backed by third-party certification from NSF International to meet or exceed strict drinking water standards, ensuring the highest water quality the treatment system can provide.

In desalination applications, Corzan Industrial Systems can handle the chemical feeds for reverse osmosis processes.

Since Corzan pipe and fittings are not susceptible to attacks from high chloride levels, there is no need to pickle or passivate the piping system and no need for expensive cathodic protection against corrosion. And with their ability to resist ozonated water, high temperatures and UV rays, Corzan Industrial Systems are cost-effective solutions for potable water service in coastal and desert environments with growing water shortages.
