Water and Wastewater
Bene昀椀ts to this industry include:
In recent years, the use of stainless steel in water
and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) has
grown signi昀椀cantly, where type 304 and 316
grades have been increasingly utilized as standard
materials for construction due to superior
performance and cost-saving factors.

ꞏ
A WWTP is a complex, sophisticated system
with a high-level of standards for the entire
plant, including technical installations. The
materials needed to construct a WWTP must be
able to withstand the wide range of corrosive
environments and conditions.
ꞏ
For maintaining a clean, environmentally safe and
cost-effective plant, there is no better material
than stainless steel. Stainless steel will improve
ef昀椀ciency, reduce maintenance costs, and in
many cases, provide the most
cost-effective solution.

Corrosion resistance to a wide
range of waters and chemicals, such
as Hydrogen Sul昀椀de (H2S)
A protective layer forms naturally on all
stainless steels because of the inclusion of
chromium. Even if damaged and oxygen is
present,
the invisible passive layer “self-heals” and
protects the steel from corrosion, ensuring
a long life
Stainless steel is not harmful to people
during its production or
use, recycling and ultimate disposal
Good strength and ductility
Ease of fabrication
Lightweight and easy to transport
Availability in a wide range of
product forms
