What is pipeline lining? Classification of pipeline lining
Pipeline lining is a new technology developed in the past ten years. It is also called composite pipe. With the different needs of the transport fluid, the use of materials with different properties as the inner and outer walls of the pipeline makes the pipeline durable, guarantees the purity of the fluid, and the pipeline is laid. Adaptability, performance is greatly improved, and the use is ...

Elution of bisphenol A and its chlorination by-products from lined pipes in water supply process
Elution of bisphenol A (BPA), chlorinated BPAs (i.e., 3-chlorobisphenol A, sum of 3,5-dichlorobisphenol A and 3,3′-dichlorobisphenol A, 3,3′,5-trichlorobisphenol A, and 3,3′,5,5′-tetrachlorobisphenol A) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) from lined pipes coated with two epoxy resins were investigated in a 24-month continuous test passing tap water. BPA, chlorinated ...

Providing water services at scale: how to move from unsustainable assistance to sustainable development?
This article presents the results of a study of water service performance in four small towns in the Sahel Region in Burkina Faso. It shows that water supplied via small piped water systems to tap stands is cheaper per user than water supplied via hand pumps as well as providing better quality service. The comparison of life-cycle costs highlights that the cost of supporting the organisation ...

Bidet toilet seats with warm-water tanks: residual chlorine, microbial community, and structural analyses
Despite the reported health-related advantages of the use of warm water in bidets, there are health-related disadvantages associated with the use of these toilet seats, and the bacterial research is sparse. We conducted a survey on the hygienic conditions of 127 warm-water bidet toilet seats in restrooms on a university campus. The spray water from the toilet seats had less residual chlorine ...

Bacteria in the toilet absorb organic waste and release gases with bad smell. Bacteria can generally be found in the toilet bowl area but they are also hidden on the seat, the flush, the floor, and the ...

Biocorrosion in drinking water pipes
Copper is widely used in drinking water distribution systems due to its relatively low cost and favorable mechanical properties. However, copper corrosion may generate copper concentrations exceeding the thresholds prescribed by international drinking water standards. In-situ measurements performed in an actual system found that the copper mass released under flowing water conditions (pipe ...

What you should do if brown water comes out of the pipe?
Especially in older properties, ungalvanized or galvanized iron pipes are often still installed in the water system. They tend to corrode. So the water flowing through them carries the rust with it. Whether you need hot or cold water - the number of rust particles is higher than average and a brownish liquid flows out of your faucet. However, the problem does not lie with your water supplier or ...

Talking Water with the Rankin family
Being located in a relatively dry part of the country with a yearly rainfall average of 250ml, the Rankins are always striving to learn about new farming techniques to improve their soil health and biology to grow consistent crops. About 8 years ago they started to experiment with their soil types using organic fertilisers. “We trialled Australian Vermiculture products with an aim to ...

Water pressure too low: Possible causes and remedy
In the physical sense, water pressure is the hydrostatic pressure in water. It increases with increasing water depth and is referred to as the water column and measured in meters of water column, mH2O or mWS for short. A meter of water column is about 0.10 bar. In everyday life, water pressure refers to the the force applied per unit area with which the fresh water - alternatively also called tap ...
