Cyonyx - Advanced Performance Pipe, Purdue Ect Team Jan 2007

Cyonyx - Advanced Performance Pipe, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

A highly corrosion-resistant composite pipe able to withstand impact in high-traffic areas. While some lined steel and metal alloy pipe are capable of withstanding critical fluids and providing necessary impact resistance, the cost, weight, and limited life expectancy are prohibitive. CYONYX pipe is derived from a new technology that imparts extremely high corrosion resistance, impact resistance approaching that of steel, low material and installation costs, and life expectancy exceeding lined steel and metal alloys.


T.O.C.S. : Hydrogen Sulfide Remission System, Purdue Ect Team Jan 2007

T.O.C.S. : Hydrogen Sulfide Remission System, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

BioEnviroTech, Inc., (BET) developed Toxicity Odor Corrosion Sulfides (T.O.C.S.) Remission System for hydrogen sulfide reduction in municipal and industrial wastewater sewer, lift stations and force mains. This safe and cost effective biotreatment technology uses safe and natural bacteria to interrupt sulfide generation.


Chemical Cleaning Process For Porable Water Distrubution Pipe Systems, Purdue Ect Team Jan 2007

Chemical Cleaning Process For Porable Water Distrubution Pipe Systems, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

Aging potable water distribution pipe systems are becoming a major concern throughout the world. Deterioration of water quality and service as a result of micro biological tuberculation and corrosion continues to increase. Major costs for replacement or rehabilitation of distribution systems are being faced by most communities. The chemical cleaning solution is an organic oxide scavenger which is mixed with a predetermined quantity of muriatic acid and circulated through an isolated section of the water main.


Mmfx Microcomposite Steel (Mmfx2), Purdue Ect Team Jan 2007

Mmfx Microcomposite Steel (Mmfx2), Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

One of the major problems facing the construction industry today is the effect of corrosion on steel, and the inherent structural weaknesses it causes in highways, bridges and buildings. MMFX 2 rebar was developed through the use of nanotechnology by Dr. Gareth Thomas, graduate school professor of materials science at Univ. of California, Berkeley. It is highly corrosion resistant and equal, or in many cases, far superior to existing conventional carbon steel in its properties of strength, energy absorption, toughness, brittleness, ductility, and formability.
