Many of the country’s wastewater and sewer facilities are approaching the 50-100-year mark, and they must be continually fixed up to remain in use for a growing population. Yet municipal wastewater treatment centers, sewage systems, and vaults withstand some of the most severely corrosive environments in the water market and need to pass increasing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) scrutiny.

At industrial plants, the EPA furthermore enforces requirements to ensure that industries pre-treat toxins in their wastes to safeguard local sanitary channels and wastewater treatment plants.
