Our lives depend on water, one of the earth’s most precious elements. Solvay products are suitable for the diverse types of equipment and components used in the treatment and transport of water.
Water purification Solvay plastics are used to fabricate water filtration membranes used in water purification plants. These filters allow the passage of water, but prevent the passage of harmful bacteria and pathogens.
Pipes Plastic pipes can carry water with or without pressure and are particularly effective for sheathing of central heating pipes and as piping for garden and fire hoses. Pipelife, a Solvay joint venture company, produces and distributes complete systems of pipelines and fittings for water supply, sewerage, irrigation and drainage.
Soil remediation Plastics are used for liners and membranes.
