Ina Road Wastewater Expansion Project
Date: November 2003
Location: Tuscon, Arizona - Pima County
Industry: Water/Waste Water
Challenge
The Ina Road Wastewater Treatment Facility expanded to double in size. Among the many needs of the expansion project was to ensure that the new infrastructure was protected for many years to come, allowing the maximum life for the anoxic basins, aeration basins, skimmer house primary clarifiers and influent and bypass channels. It was imperative the coating selected to protect these structures would be able to withstand the chemical and hydrogen sulfide gas attack.
Solution
After careful review and selection, Novocoat SP2000R was chosen by third party engineers as the Category A coating, where the toughest protection was required. Over 13,000 gallons of product was applied to the anoxic basins, aeration basins, skimmer house clarifiers and the influent/by pass channels.
The project also utilized Novocoat’s line of sealers, primers, and pastes to complete the coating phase of the multi-year project.
