With excellent chemical resistance, HDPE (or poly) pipe, can be used in a wide range of chemical processes and applications.Recognising this, in late 2022, our specialist Fabrication team was selected to design, fabricate, and test a Hydrochloric Acid Unloading Priming Tank for a large multinational organisation. The tank – required for the safe and efficient …
In 2022, Advanced Piping Systems supplied HDPE spooling and pipe to a A$100 million water management upgrade project at an iron ore mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Working in partnership with a leading national multidisciplinary industrial services provider and a leading national water and waste treatment provider, the project’s aim was to …
Water contamination is a common and widespread health risk throughout South-East Asia. To purify drinking water in many countries across this region, a process called ‘reverse osmosis’ is used to make water safe for human consumption. It’s considered one of the most effective forms of water filtration, and works by pushing water through a microscopically …
Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right. But for many communities around the world — particularly those in remote, island locations — it remains a challenge, with logistical, environmental, and technical obstacles to overcome to deliver safe and reliable drinking water. Recently, the team at Advanced Piping Systems were pleased to share …
When it comes to selecting materials for various applications, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) often emerge as popular choices. Each material possesses unique benefits and features that make them suitable for specific applications. In this article, we will explore the advantages of both GRP and HDPE, compare their key features, and provide …
When it comes to desalination, HDPE remains the preferred material for water treatment applications. Here are some specific reasons why HDPE is often chosen over GRP in relation to desalination: HDPE and Seawater Compatibility Desalination plants primarily treat seawater or high saline water , which contains high salinity and various corrosive elements. HDPE has excellent …
Learn how Advanced Piping Systems helped supply the Pacific Island country of Kiribati with safe drinking water.
Across the globe, catch pits play a vital role in wastewater and water management systems, with benefits including helping to prevent costly blockages, flooding and water contamination. But even though this ingenious device has been around for decades, catch pits remain a relatively new feature of Australian drainage and irrigation systems. As their name suggests, …
Poly pipe electrofusion welders are often needed to fit, join, or fabricate poly pipe on-site. Welders are most often used by maintenance crews on large scale jobs such as: water treatment plants chemical process plants; and commercial irrigation systems. They can also be used on civil projects such as: water pipelines or renewals; or fire …
When the South Australian Premier, Mike Rann, first announced that the State Government would be building a AU$1.83 billion desalination plant in Adelaide, in 2007, Advanced Piping Systems (APS) jumped at the opportunity to showcase their capability in the area of environmentally sustainable, custom piping. After winning the tender to supply all potable water lines, …
The benefits of prefabricated construction have been recognised for thousands of years. In fact, around AD 43, the Romans used prefabricated building elements to quickly and efficiently construct forts in freshly conquered Britain. Fast forward to 1889 and the concept was still popular, with Gustav Eiffel designing a ‘temporary’ tower for the 1889 World Fair …
