Wastewater Collection & Treatment
Protecting Critical Wastewater Infrastructure
Sewage conveyance and wastewater collection rank among the most important public health responsibilities in every community. Two common issues with this critical infrastructure are microbial induced corrosion and the infiltration/exfiltration of liquids. Left untreated, these environmental issues lead to rapid deterioration of sanitary systems and failures that are costly to repair and disruptive to everyday life.

Calvert City WWTP Influent Lift Station & Plant Improvements
Xypex Bio-San was specified in the precast elements for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Lift Station and Plant in Calvert City, Kentucky. Forterra Pipe & Precast added Bio-San to a total of 180 cubic yards of treated pre-cast concrete for this project.
Brentwood Equalization Facility WTP
The Brentwood Equalization Facility in Brentwood, Tennessee, used precast structures in its wastewater management system, integrating Xypex Admix C-500NF Red to combat the harsh chemical environment typical of wastewater treatment. Selected for its durability, chemical resistance, and waterproofing qualities, Xypex Admix C-500NF Red was added to the precast concrete mix during batching.
Al Kadaro New Slaughterhouse Water Treatment Plant, Khartoum
Sudan, celebrated for its extensive livestock resources with an estimated 104 million heads of food animals (cows, sheep, goats and others), aimed to bolster its meat export capabilities through the new Al Kadaro Slaughterhouse. This facility, sprawled across a land area of 210,000 m2 in the Al Kadaro area, Bahri, boasts a building area of 18,000 m2. Equipped with the latest technology to meet international standards, the slaughterhouse was inaugurated in September 2019, significantly enhancing the Sudanese economy by facilitating meat exports and contributing positively to economic growth.
Williamsburg WWTP Improvements
The Williamsburg wastewater treatment plant project faced the challenge of preventing microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) in its wastewater treatment facility. The original specification called for a polyurethane coating to combat the high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide gas and prevent degradation of the concrete.
Pinheiros Sewage Pumping Station
Xypex Bio-San C500 was selected due to its ability to permanently waterproof the concrete and increase the structure’s resistance to sulfates and sulfuric acid attacks while preventing the growth of the bacteria that causes MIC.
