Uses of PVC

DESALINATION PLANTS

Salt water can be treated to be transformed into drinking water. Two fundamental processes are used, reverse osmosis or distillation. Both methods require large contributions of energy and high salinity environments are generated.

PVC trays are perfect to be installed in this type of work due to it is not affected by saline environments.

PUMPING STATIONS

Pumping stations are facilities that includes pumps and all the necessary equipments for pumping fluids from one place to another. These facilities are used for a variety of actions such as the movement of water to canals, to the public network or drainage in lowlands.

The pumping stations need to be installed with non-metallic trays due to the high humidity existing in these areas.

WASTEWATER PLANTS

Wastewater treatment plants transform dirty water into clean water that can be re-incorporated into the water cycle with minimal impact on the environment. The treatment removes impurities from the water and this creates very abrasive gaseous environments.

These gases are corrosive and affect metals, PVC trays is the most efficient solution for these environments thanks to their high resistance to corrosion.

POOLS

Pools are structures designed to hold liquids where develope manufacturing activities or, in certain cases, sports recreation. These can be built at ground level, or higher (as in pleasure boats).

In the maintenance of this type of facilities, the use of chemical products such as chlorine is very common, PVC trays is the best solution for this type of environment.

PETROCHEMICAL

Also called petroleum distillates, it is chemicals derived from petroleum. Some chemical compounds made from petroleum are also obtained from other fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas, or renewable sources such as corn or sugar cane. The two most common types of petrochemical distillates are refined oils and aromatics obtained through aggressive distillation processes. These processes create humid environments.

PVC trays is the best solution for this type of installation thanks to it´s proven resistance to high humidity environments.

PHARMACEUTICAL

The pharmaceutical industry discovers, develops, produces and markets medicines. These industries is subjected to a variety of government laws and regulations on patents, testing, safety, efficacy, marketing, and production of medicines.

In acid-synthesized drug production processes, only non-metallic trays such as PVC trays can be installed due to it´s high resistance to these acidic components.

PAPER INDUSTRY

It includes companies that use wood as a raw material and produce pulp, paper, cardboard and other products based on cellulose. The papermaking process has a low environmental impact as long as the paper is not bleached. Bleaching requires the use of hydrogen peroxide, or chlorine dioxide, two highly polluting and aggressive substances.

PVC trays are specially designed and formulated to respond to these high environmental harsh environments.

FERTILIZER INDUSTRY

A fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soil or plant tissue to supply one or more nutrients for plant growth. This objective is accomplished in two ways, the traditional being the additives that provide nutrients. The second way in which some fertilizers act is to increase the efficiency of the soil by modifying its water retention and aeration. These processes produce acidic and alkaline environments.

Basorplast cable trays is the best solution due to the proven resistance to these environments.

ROOFS

A rooftop photovoltaic plant is a photovoltaic system that has its solar panels generating electricity mounted on the roof of a building, in a residential or commercial area, with a horizontal or inclined shape. Rooftop-mounted systems are small compared to ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants with megawatt capacities.

PVC trays is the fastest and most practical way to handle wiring installation due to their versatility.

SOLAR FARM

A solar farm is a photovoltaic power plant, with a large-scale photovoltaic system designed for the supply of commercial energy on the electrical grid. It differs from most decentralized and building-mounted solar energy applications in that it supplies power commercially for resale, and not to a local user or users.

PVC trays is the fastest and most practical way to manage the cable installation due to its ease of channeling the installation to the solar panels.

HARBOUR CRANES

It is a type of large machinery, generally equipped with a hoist rope, metal wire chains, and pulleys, which can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used to lift extremely heavy things and transport it to other places

Cranes is commonly corroded by salty winds. PVC cable trays is the best solution against the oxidation produced by these winds.

BARRIERS AND PIERS

Barriers and piers are elements that prevent water or underground currents from following their normal course. The reservoirs created by these elements, not only suppress floods, but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture and navigability.

Hydroelectric energy is often obtained thanks to these infrastructures and these types of places are subject to high humidity and salinity, PVC trays is the best solution for this type of environment due to it´s functionality is not altered in these conditions.

DOCKS

A dock is an area between the water and a man-made structure, it is usually used for docking of boats or ships, usually near a shore. The docks are subjected to high humidity.

Basorplast trays is the most efficient solution due to it is not altered by the harmful effects of humidity and salt.

PASSENGER BOARDING PLATFORMS

It is a platform used for the entry of passengers in a boat that can be located in port or at sea. Boarding begins with the entry of the first passenger and ends with the seat of each passenger and the closing of the doors. These boarding bridges are located in very humid areas and even in direct contact with sea water.

PVC trays do not present any type of corrosion to these contacts and is the best solution for cable routing.

HOTELS

A hotel is an infrastructure that offers paid short-term accommodation. Facilities can range from a modest quality mattress in a small room to large suites. Hotels located on the beach or near the sea are directly affected by wet and salty winds every day.

PVC trays is specially designed not to be affected by these environments, being the best option for this type of installation.

TERTIARY BUILDING

A commercial or tertiary building is a building that is used for commercial use. Types can include office buildings, warehouses, or retail. At beach locations, a commercial building often combines features such as apartments on levels 2-10, with retail on the ground floors. The buildings located in the beach areas or near the sea, are directly affected by the wet and salty winds every day.

Basorplast PVC trays is specially designed not to be affected by this situation, being the best option for this type of installation.

METALLURGY

Metallurgy is the science of materials whose engineering studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their intermetallic compounds, and their mixtures (called alloys). Metal production involves chemical processing to produce alloys. These processes produce zinc and lead environments.

PVC trays is designed to withstand long life in these environments.

ELECTROLYTIC REFINERY

An electrolytic process is the use of electrolysis industrially to refine metals or compounds with high purity and low cost. Examples are the Hall-Héroult process used for aluminum, or the production of hydrogen from water.

These processes generate humidity environments, the PVC trays is not affected and is the best solution for these jobs.

OTHER AUXILIARY PROCESSES

Natural gas processing is a complex industrial process designed to clean raw natural gas by separating impurities and various hydrocarbons and non-methane fluids to produce what is known as pipeline dry natural gas.

Electrostatic remelting (ESR), also known as electrofusion remelting, is a process of remelting and refining steel and other alloys for applications in aircraft, thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, military technology...

PVC as a manufacturing material in the trays is the best solution for gas and remelting environments due to its high resistance to gas and to the effects of remelting.

A cooling tower is a heat rejection device that dumps some residual heat into the atmosphere through a cooling process using a stream of water at a lower temperature.

A galvanizing plant or a treatment plant is a place to put additional coatings on metals. These processes produce vapors and aggressive environments.

PVC trays is the most suitable material for the steam atmosphere thanks to the good behavior in environments of this style.
