Severe Wastewater Testing Programs for Rapid Evaluation of Coatings and Linings: An update

High performance protective coatings are often failing in the severe headspace environments of wastewater environments. These failures are attributed to many factors including glow permeability properties to resist H2S and other corrosive gasses present within these environments. Although the chemical and physical properties of coating systems can be determined in the lab, this is not the case for application variables and the effects of environmental factors.

High performance protective coatings are often failing in the severe headspace environments of wastewater environments. These failures are attributed to many factors including glow permeability properties to resist H2S and other corrosive gasses present within these environments. Although the chemical and physical properties of coating systems can be determined in the lab, this is not the case for application variables and the effects of environmental factors. Due to a dearth of testing practices for wastewater conditions, specifiers are faced with product selection based upon unsubstantiated claims by manufacturers for use in these severe environments. This paper discusses the advancement of a novel laboratory testing program designed to simulate the effects of a severe wastewater headspace environment and produces interpretable data in a period of 28 days.
