2,450m network that uses PVC-O pipes (110m diameter) and HDPE pipe of 32mm diameter. The cost of the extension project was around €360,000 (US$420,000). The main washdown network will also include several shorter branches, to guarantee the cleaning of an area of nearly 90,000 sq m.
Indian expansion The popularity of PVC-O pipe is spreading – with one company setting up a whole new division devoted to the product. Indian chemicals company Chemfab Alkalis – which was formerly Teamec Chlorates – recently announced its plans to begin making PVC-O pipe. Its existing business is as a chlor-alkali producer. However, the company recently invested INR50m (around US$7m) in a manufacturing facility in Sri City in Andhra Pradesh. “Our strategic foray into the manufacturing of
PVC-O pipes is driven by the huge demand that we see coming up for advanced and efficient pipes as a result of the large-scale investments being made by the Government of India to strengthen water connectivity,” said Suresh Krishnamurthi Rao, chairman of Chemfab Alkalis.
The plant is scheduled to begin production during 2019. “These highly advanced pipes are designed to convey high pressure water with the best-in-class operational and cost efficiencies,” he added.
