Application
PH Technology was responsible for the supply, installation and structural support of plastic pipe systems in the context of the proposed expansion of a copper and polymetallic production plant for mining operations in Stained Water.
Characteristics
The installation amounted to approximately 2100 meters of pipe, ranging from Ø90 to Ø350 in diameter, and the entire length had to be supported above ground, hence the importance of correct supporting structures. This required about 25 tons of supporting material (A°C°), designed and assembled entirely by PH Technology.
Because of the abrasive nature of the fluid numerous bends with a radius of curvature of 5 times the diameter of the pipework had to be manufactured and assembled.
Operating conditions
Operating limits were fixed at 5 bar of pressure and a temparature of 40ºC.
Material
The whole installation was completed in PE100
