The ins and outs of selecting the correct coatings systems for wastewater plants will be the topic of a free upcoming webinar presented by JPCL and SSPC.
Lake H. Barrett and Gary R. Hall of Sauereisen will present “Selecting Coatings for Wastewater Facilities” from 11 a.m. to noon EDT Oct. 12.
Barrett and Hall will describe the coatings systems that are typically recommended for the main exposure conditions in wastewater service, and will explain the pros and cons for each system.
Pittsburgh-based Sauereisen manufactures specialty cements and corrosion-resistant materials for construction.
