Hot curing by means of steam (steam curing) is limited to max. DN 400 and renovation lengths of approx. 150 m. The lining tube, which is set up by pressurized air, is charged with hot steam between approx. 60 °C to 115 °C. The electronic temperature measurements and their documentation are carried out periodically at the start and end manholes and at the intermediate manholes. Measurements are taken at the invert between the lining tube and the host … |

In the case of UV light curing, the installation pressure, the pulling force and the temperature curves must be continuously measured and documented during the entire curing phase. The proper function of the light technology used must be ensured during the entire process and must be adapted to the respective lining tube product and comply with the specifications of the system manual. The pulling speed and positioning of the UV spots specified by the … |

The output of UV spots is in the range from 300 W to 4000 W. The UV spots are combined into a chain of lights (UV light chain) according to the required output. Before each curing process, the UV spots must be checked visually and cleaned (e.g. removal of fingerprints, dust, etc.). The perfect overall condition and surface cleanliness of the spots are decisive for its function and thus for proper curing of the lining tube. (Image: UV light curing – … |

A characteristic feature of combined curing or hybrid curing is that during factory impregnation of the tubes, thermo-reactive peroxides (heat curing initiators) are added to the light-curing resins (UV initiators) system. Subsequent cure initiation is exclusively via UV radiation. The exothermic heat generated by UV curing excites the heat-cure initiators. Hybrid curing can be used, if necessary for system reasons, for thick-walled lining tubes … |
|
Since conventional UV light curing reaches its limits with very large wall thicknesses of the lining tube (> 7 mm or more depending on the manufacturer), combination or hybrid curing is used here. Here, the ongoing UV light curing activates the thermal curing. Once the UV light has heated the lining tube to approx. 60 °C, the thermoreactive peroxides activate the thermal reaction. Both curing mechanisms lead to the final polymerization of the resin … |

For the first time after 400 operating hours, the intensity of the UV spots has to be checked against a reference spot with regard to the irradiance of the spot in use (comparative measurement). The reference spot is a calibrated and measured spot. Each spot must then be checked after 150 further operating hours [DWAA143-3:2014]. (Image: UV light curing – UV spot) (Image: UV light curing – UV spots) The comparative measurement is carried out within … |

Apr 25, 2022 News The Tribune Untreated industrial and sometimes domestic wastewater usually contains potentially toxic elements in concentrations that are several-fold higher than the maximum permissible limits for irrigation and drinking water. The authorities have so far failed to effectively enforce waste treatment laws, and strict adherence to the norms has remained a daunting task. Proper processing and management will improve food quality and safety as well as human and animal health.
