Water & Wastewater Industry

Reliable FRP engineering, inspection, and stress analysis for municipal and industrial water treatment, chemical feed, and odor control infrastructure.

Protecting Water Infrastructure from Severe Corrosion

Water and wastewater treatment operations face relentless chemical attack. Hydrogen sulfide gas, biogenic sulfuric acid, aggressive disinfectants like sodium hypochlorite, and harsh industrial effluents rapidly compromise concrete basins and metal pipework. Maverick Applied Science delivers long-lasting FRP and dual laminate engineering designed to keep treatment systems running reliably.

“From massive odor control ducting to high-purity chemical feed loops, we engineer nonmetallic solutions that eliminate rust, prevent leaks, and extend asset life.”

Our Water & Wastewater Services

Odor Control Scrubber & Duct Engineering

Custom structural and aerodynamic design for H2S biological scrubbers, packed towers, mist eliminators, and large-diameter ventilation ductwork.

Disinfection & Chemical Feed Piping

Dual laminate (CPVC/FRP, PVDF/FRP) and thermoplastic piping systems engineered for concentrated sodium hypochlorite, ferric chloride, and alum feed loops.

Pipe Stress & Burial Depth Analysis

FEA modeling, pipe stress, and soil-structure interaction analysis for buried and above-ground municipal treatment headers under traffic and surge loads.

Cover & Enclosure Structural Engineering

Custom FRP covers, launders, and tank baffles designed to contain odorous gases and protect concrete basins from biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion.

Treatment Plant Outage & Condition Assessment

Non-destructive testing (NDT), ultrasonic thickness gauging, and laminate evaluation during scheduled plant maintenance to verify equipment remaining life.

Reverse Osmosis & Brackish Feed Lines

Engineering high-pressure fiberglass piping and membrane vessel manifolds resistant to biofouling and concentrated brine rejection streams.

Applications

Explore how our FRP engineering supports essential water and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

Odor Control & Gas Scrubbing Systems

Wastewater collection and headworks generate hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mercaptans, and organic foul gases. Bacteria convert H2S into biogenic sulfuric acid, which rapidly degrades concrete and steel. FRP packed-tower scrubbers, biofilters, and ductwork provide complete immunity against acidic gas condensates.
