PP fittings, PP pipes and PP valves
The Challenge
A leading company in the electroplating sector was faced with the challenge of renewing the water piping in its facilities. The aim is to efficiently manage and control water consumption to achieve sustainable savings of 30% and to continue the environmental approach. This requires comprehensive re-piping from the local water supply to the ultrapure water system.
The Solution
Our solution offers comprehensive support in all phases of the project - from planning to the selection of suitable valves. During the planning phase, the new piping was carefully planned, taking into account the customer's specific requirements. When selecting the material, polypropylene (PP) was chosen as it is highly resistant to chemicals, can be used in a wide temperature range and is particularly easy to process using butt welding. To ensure efficient control and precise flow regulation, the customer selected the FIP DK diaphragm valve and the FIP VKR regulation ball valve. With this choice, the customer was able to achieve the desired improvements in consumption control.
The Realisation
The project was implemented in several coordinated steps. First, a detailed repiping plan was developed, ensuring seamless integration into the existing systems. Next came material procurement: Aliaxis supplied a complete package consisting of PP pipes, fittings, and suitable valves. During the installation phase, the construction site was was closely supported by our Aliaxis field service team. We also provided support with the professional installation of the superstructure parts and the actuators for the valves to ensure smooth and efficient commissioning.
The Conclusion
Thanks to the successful repiping, the customer was not only able to reduce water consumption in its plant by 30%, but also further advance the company's sustainability goals. Aliaxis offers a wide range of materials with which our customers can realize individual and flexible solutions. The customer was able to connect the new piping to its existing system made of other materials such as PE and UPVC. With Aliaxis' extensive support in planning and assistance with material selection, industrial plants can not only be designed more efficiently, but also more sustainable.
