Water Treatment Systems

Water treatment structures work continuously and cannot be easily taken offline. Protecting them preserves their operation and capacity while helping prevent the disruption a major rehabilitation would cause.

Intellathane Systems For Water Treatment Structures

Intellathane 550 is a two-component, 100% solids polyurea spray elastomer with fast reactivity and designed for use in harsh environments where high temperature, chemical, and/or abrasion resistance is needed.
See technical data

Intellathane 7100 is a two-component, 100% solids, plural component, spray-applied pure polyurea elastomer with instantaneous reactivity designed for use in harsh environments where high-temperature, chemical, and/or abrasion resistance is critical.
See technical data

Intellathane 7100LV is lower-viscosity pure polyurea that flows readily into complex geometries and irregular substrates while delivering excellent chemical, abrasion, and impact resistance.

Water Treatment Structures Failure Points

Water treatment structures face constant moisture, chemical exposure at feed and storage points, and cycles of wetting and drying that erode concrete over time.

Intake structures and raw water channels
Flocculation and sedimentation basins
Filter galleries and underdrains
Chemical feed and storage areas
Clearwells and finished water storage

Why Water Treatment Structures Fail

Continuous moisture
Chemical exposure
Wetting and drying cycles
Abrasion

What Protection Entails

Water treatment structures require protection that withstands continuous immersion, resists site-specific chemicals, accommodates structural movement, and minimizes service interruptions.

Immersion Performance

Intellathane systems are tested and rated for continuous immersion, temporary immersion, or incidental contact based on the system and chemical exposure, allowing protection to be matched to the requirements of each structure.

Fast Return to Service

Most Intellathane systems cure within 24 hours, helping minimize downtime and return critical structures to service quickly.

Crack Bridging

Elastomeric Intellathane systems accommodate substrate movement while maintaining a continuous protective barrier, helping prevent cracking and loss of membrane integrity.

Potable Water Contact

For finished-water applications, Intellathane DWS-61 is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 within its listed scope.

What Delayed Action Costs

Delaying protection can turn a planned coating project into a more costly and disruptive structural repair. As deterioration progresses and moisture reaches reinforcing steel, corrosion can lead to cracking, delamination, and concrete loss—requiring more extensive rehabilitation and longer outages. Protecting structures while deterioration is still limited helps preserve plant capacity, extend asset life, and reduce future repair costs and downtime.
