Cleaning systems The United Kingdom’s water industry is poised for its most ambitious transformation yet under the AMP8 (Asset Management Period 8) investment cycle, which runs from 2025 to 2030. Backed by an unprecedented £108 billion investment, the largest in the sector’s history, AMP8 is focused not only on maintaining and upgrading ageing infrastructure but also on addressing growing environmental and regulatory challenges. A significant £11 billion of this total has been earmarked specifically for stormwater and sewage spill mitigation, reflecting mounting pressure from regulators, the public, and environmental groups to curb pollution in rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. At the heart of this environmental push lies the urgent need for more stormwater retention tanks and combined sewage overflow (CSO) systems. It is estimated that some 2,000 such systems will need to be updated, refurbished or built in the AMP round of funding. This stormwater management infrastructure is vital if the target of reducing spills and sewage discharges into waterways by 44% is to be met. Much of this new infrastructure will require specialised cleaning systems. Storm water attenuation tanks can cause serious smell pollution if left improperly cleaned after usage. The StormBlaster tank cleaning system is a more effective alternative to tipping buckets, swirl eductors and manual entry cleaning. Screen cleaning Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) are a key feature of combined sewer systems, where rainwater and wastewater share the same pipework. During heavy rainfall, these systems can become overwhelmed without proper control measures. CSO chambers manage excess flows by allowing water levels to rise and diverting surplus into overflow pipes. A crucial component of CSOs is the screening system, which traps solids and keeps them within the sewer network. This prevents solid waste from entering local waterways and protects the environment. Foam control The formation of a stable foam in the water treatment process is a common problem. Foam can occur in aeration tanks, anaerobic digesters or secondary clarifiers. Foam is undesirable because it can overflow vessels, create slippery and unsafe working conditions, interfere with processing, damage materials, and cause tanks to drain and dry slowly. Controlling foam can be accomplished by spraying liquid onto the pool, vessel, or reservoir’s surface and allowing the spray’s droplets to impact the foam bubbles, causing them to break. Spray nozzle arrays positioned above fluid level can be used to knock back the foam and keep it under control. Odour control The use of sprays to knock down and neutralise odour is a common application for our spray nozzles. Nozzles are either used to directly treat odour particles in the air or as part of scrubber systems.

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.”
