Protection and repair of water and waste water treatment plants
Water is our most important natural resource! In water supply systems and wastewater management structures concrete is the most commonly used construction material. Higher plant throughputs, more efficient handling and new processes for the treatment of fresh and waste water have given rise to more demanding durability specifications. Concrete is an alkaline material and therefore by nature not resistant to acid, and conventional protective coatings, based on reactive resins, have not always produced the desired results.
For more than 40 years MC-Bauchemie has been meeting the challenges of developing permanent systems for the protection of concrete and the restoration of damaged concrete surfaces. The decades of research led to the development of new mineral-based systems, which now, after 10 years in use, have proven performance on site and passed all practical tests with flying colours.
This brochure gives an overview of a number of international projects in the water and wastewater management sectors. Whether using a mineral-based or highly acid-resistant polymer-silicate surface protection system, durable results are assured with MCs products.
MC offers you not only innovation and competence in research and development, but also advice and assistance on site. An extensive network of competent experts that are versed in the special application technologies ensures the success of your construction project.
Competence and experience: MC is your partner for preventive surface protection and restoration in the areas of water supply and wastewater management!

Sewage Plant
Objective: Product: Year: Project Information: To prevent concrete deterioration by filling and sealing cracks. MC-Injekt 2300 NV 2000 Shortly after casting cracks of an unacceptable width were noted in the concrete roofs of the digester tanks. To ensure the durability and functionality of the structure the cracks had to be closed. Further crack movement was also anticipated so MC-Injekt 2300 NV was selected as it also possesses the required chemical resistance.

Aeration tank
Objective: Product: Year: Project Information: Concrete rehabilitation and surface protection MC-RIM, MC-RIM F Nafufill 250, , Nafufill KM 110, EmceColor-flex 2000 The chemical and pharmaceutical company, Hoechst, have at their Frankfurt Am Main site a water purification plant that needed extensive rehabilitation works. A range of MC products was used for concrete repair on the aeration tank. In addition an unusual and complex multi-coloured design was called for on the external walls depicting the purification process. The artists concept was accurately realised using MCs EmceColorflex a crack bridging protective coating.

Elevated Tank
Objective: Product: Year: Project Information: Repair and surface protection MC-RIM, MC-RIM F , Nafufill KM 250 2003 Damage as a result of corrosion was found on the concrete walls and columns of the elevated water tank operated by the Saarbrcken public utilities board. The restoration plans called for systems that would guarantee a minimum service life of at least ten years. To determine this, extensive tests with various systems were performed on site. The assessment by an independent test institute resulted in top marks for the highly sulfateresistant mortar-systems MC-RIM and MC-RIM F .
