Additionally, we fabricate and install dosing cabinets and day tanks with dual containment delivery pipework, all designed to dispense chemicals safely to the point of consumption. Delivery ductwork: Plastic ductwork for dealing with fume/odours created by chemical, biological or radiological processes have a high level of inherent risk.  This means that you need assurance that the ductwork will be fabricated correctly and installed competently. The UK standard for fabrication and installation of plastic ductwork is DW154, published by BESA, the Building Engineering Services Association (formerly HVCA).  Roperhurst is a UK market leader in this field: Roperhurst’s founder, Graham Handley, chaired the HVCA committee that wrote the 1st edition of DW154 in 2000. Roperhurst continues to work closely with BESA to improve standards. Roperhurst, as a BESA plastic ductwork specialist, ensures that our manufacturing and site work is regularly audited by external specialists to ensure that our work meets all current standards. Roperhurst is one of the few plastic ductwork specialists with its own in-house fibreglass division and specialist installation and testing teams. At Roperhurst we don’t need to rely on sub-contractors to produce elements of the project, which can be a cause of quality and compliance issues. Our plastics fabricator welders are time served and certified to BS EN 13067, and our laminators have been assessed under BS 4994.

Xypex is a non-toxic chemical treatment for the waterproofing and protection of concrete. Its primary and most distinguishing performance feature is its unique ability to generate a non-soluble crystalline formation deep within the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete; a crystalline structure that permanently seals the concrete against the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction. Xypex Crystalline Technology was developed in Vancouver in 1969. Since then, in both hemispheres, in every climatic challenge, and in widely varying construction situations, the technology has been tested and proven. In more than 90 countries, the proprietary crystalline waterproofing products of Xypex Chemical Corporation are stocked, sold and supported by a worldwide network of distributors and licensees such as SMR Projects Ltd. It has been over 50 years since Xypex Chemical Corporation first coined the phrase “Concrete Waterproofing by Crystallization”, a statement and concept that represented a radical departure from traditional surface-reliant barrier products of the day. Pursuing an entirely new path, Xypex developed a unique technology that takes advantage of the natural and porous characteristics of concrete. With water as the catalyst, Xypex’s proprietary chemicals react with the natural by-products of cement hydration (calcium hydroxide, mineral salts, mineral oxides, and un-hydrated and partially hydrated cement particles), forming a non- soluble crystalline structure within the interconnected pores and other voids in concrete. In this way, the crystalline structure becomes a permanent, integral part of the concrete matrix itself, preventing the ingress of water and other liquids even under strong hydrostatic pressure, and providing protection against harsh, aggressive environments. Since the introduction of Xypex, tens of thousands of concrete structures around the world have been waterproofed and protected with this unique crystalline technology and, over the years, extensive research, testing and performance success have furthered the awareness, understanding and confidence in Xypex, earning both the technology and the company an enviable reputation as the world standard in crystalline waterproofing. Using the high-power imaging capability of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), we display visual evidence that clearly differentiates Xypex from all other products in the waterproofing admixtures category. SEM is a technique whereby a precise photographic image of a microstructure is produced by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons. Extremely high degrees of magnification can be attained and, at x500 magnification, Xypex crystalline formations at work can be seen. Our SEM images show conclusively that the many and varied Xypex non- soluble crystalline structures formed within the concrete are unique, and truly have “… NO EQUAL.”

Since 1991, Swan has been developing and manufacturing high quality online analytical instruments that are entirely dedicated to continuous water monitoring. Innovation and quality, customer focus and the relentless pursuit of optimisation are more than just a slogan for Swan. The chemical, biological and engineering background of our founders remains the foundation of Swan to this day, and is what helps us supply all industries with reliable and customer-focused online analysers. Water is an essential resource in many industrial applications. High-purity water is used in specialized processes in the fields of micro electronics and pharmaceutical production. Water is also used to generate steam in power generation or industrial processes. Potable water supplied through distribution networks is a vital commodity all over the world. Continuous monitoring and controlling of the water quality in these processes as well as in the associated treatment and discharge processes is challenging. The risks and costs of insufficient monitoring are high, which calls for instrumentation specifically designed to meet the requirements of a particular application, for high reliability and low maintenance. Swan’s success is built on a worldwide sales and support network with regional representatives, high quality products made in Switzerland and extensive knowledge in wide-ranging applications. Swan’s customer-focused sales network consists of official representatives in 15 countries and contractual international partnerships in 62 more countries around the globe. Our local sales representatives take care of installation, maintenance, training, troubleshooting and any issues that may occur in an efficient way. With our sales and support network present around the globe, we are a dependable business partner, wherever you are located. Download Centre: https://swaninstruments.ch/downloads/
