DOUBLE CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS
What is Double Containment?
Double Containment happens to be a pipe within a pipe, where the inner pipe plays a vital role of transporting hazardous media, or media that must not come into contact with lifeforms. On the other hand, the outer pipe is used to catch any leak from the inner pipe if a leak was to occur, and then transport that leak to a safe bunded area.
Double containment piping systems are economical as well as reliable methods used for protection against leaks of corrosive or hazardous fluids caused by failure of the primary carrier pipe. When carefully designed, a double piping system can have a longer service life with significant cost savings as well as excellent environmental protection. A combination of increased federal regulations, concern related to environmental and personal safety, and fear of litigation has accelerated the development as well as improvement of double piping systems into highly engineered systems.AnZ waters is the leading supplier of Double Containment pipes and fittings. We have acquired quite a position among the great dealers of Double Containment products. An experience of over 20 plus years have made AnZ Waters, efficient vendors in the wide spectrum of Double Containment pipes and fittings.
Who requires a Double Containment System?
Every plant operator dealing with a distribution or wastewater piping system which could have a negative impact on environment, health, safety or quality in case of an unexpected leakage. Owing to problems of environmental pollution and severe accidents, organizations happen to be enforced to ensure that their activities do not cause harm to anyone.
What are the applications of Double Containment Systems?
Double Containment Systems are utilised in all applications, where uncontrolled leakages of a medium/gas can lead to damage of the environment, employees, equipment or influence of quality.
Some of the main applications are in water treatment, wastewater treatment, chemical process industry, microelectronics, pharmaceutical industry, as well as food and beverage industry.
How to reduce the risk of costly leakages?
The reasons for unexpected leakages of single pipelines are many-fold. The risk can likely be reduced to a fraction through careful planning, corrosion-free material selection, such as thermoplastics and professional installation. AnZ Waters offer comprehensive global support and service from planning to commission to ensure a long-lasting system.
However, in applications where unexpected leakage can lead to quite huge consequences – especially in those handling aggressive liquids and gases – a double containment system is the ideal as well as reliable solution to minimise costly damages (reputation, end-product quality, plant availability as well as IT infrastructure).
Benefits of Double Containment System
Double containment piping systems are one of the most, not only
economical but also reliable methods in order to protect against
leaks of corrosive or hazardous fluids from primary
piping. When designed and applied appropriately, double
wall systems can be very well expected to have a long service life.
Double contained systems constructed from thermoplastic
materials offer significant cost savings as well as superior
chemical resistance over their metal counterparts.
A combination of government regulations, greatly increased
concern over environmental as well as personal safety, and a
growing fear of litigation has hastened the development
and improvement of double contained piping components
into highly engineered systems.
