Plastic pipe systems for industry:
safe, corrosion-free and flexible in use
Advantages of PE pipe systems
PE pipes are corrosion-free, chemical-resistant and offer maximum operational reliability. They combine robustness with flexibility and impress with high hydraulic performance. Thanks to their long service life, they are a cost-effective solution for industry, infrastructure and rehabilitation. Material combinations also open up new areas of application, such as higher pressure resistance or permeation resistance.
Industrial pipes for different requirements
Temperature resistance
For high temperatures, e.g. during pipe disinfection
before the flow of sensitive media or for internal
process lines and hot wastewater,
egeplast pipe systems can be equipped with temperature-resistant, integrated
layers. The egeTherm®
High-T pipe system can safely transport media at temperatures
of up to +70°C continuously, with an operating life
of 50 years.
Static charge dissipation
Where static charge occurs, pipe systems are required that safely dissipate electrostatic charge. For this purpose, co-extruded solid-wall pipes made of PE 100-RC are provided with dimensionally integrated layers of PE-EL. Depending on the application, the layers can be arranged on the inside or outside. A combination is also possible.
Abrasive media
In various industrial sectors, solids-containing
media (“slurry”) are conveyed. Due to these abrasive
media, these applications place special demands on the pipe systems used in order to achieve economical service lives despite rapid wear caused by abrasion. Polyethylene pipes enable long, damage-free operation with abrasive media.
Transport of sensitive media
Some industrial applications require
permanent monitoring for possible leaks to protect the environment, and possibly also to comply with
legal requirements. The escape of chemical
media into the environment, possible consequential damage to
people and nature, and the resulting liability risks
can thus be reliably ruled out. An electrically conductive
aluminium layer integrated into the plastic pipe enables 100% leak monitoring for soil and water protection.
Pressure-resistant pipe systems
In various industrial applications,
pressure ratings above the common applications of PE pipes are required. However, the advantages of PE pipe, such as high flexibility and resistance to corrosion and incrustation, are prerequisites for a cost-effective technical solution. Reinforcement layers then enable the higher operating pressures.
100% safety with monitorable pipe systems
Ideal for applications that require a permeation-resistant pipe system are plastic pipes with a barrier layer. An aluminium permeation barrier layer reliably prevents the permeation of pollutants through the pipe wall in both directions. The metallic permeation barrier enables
permanent protection of sensitive media and the environment. In addition, the electrical properties of the metallic barrier layer also offer the possibility of locating the pipeline and checking its integrity after installation.
