Wastewater disposal: reliable sewer system with polyethylene

Germany is one of the countries with the highest sewage connection rate in Europe. The sewage system therefore has a lot to cope with: According to the Federal Environment Agency, over five billion cubic meters of wastewater from households, industry and commerce flow into the sewage system every year. Added to this are a further five billion cubic meters of rainwater and infiltration that finds its way into the sewer system via leaks. Reliable sewage pipes are important here - to avoid damage and thus operational failures and high repair costs.

How to make the sewage system more robust

The sewer system must function permanently - because in the event of damage, the operators of the sewer system quickly face high costs. However, defects in pipes are a frequent cause of damage. This is where the details matter: Damage is often caused by the pipe connections or defective connections. Axial or horizontal displacements frequently occur in push-fit connections, which lead to leaks and thus to infiltration and exfiltration or ingrowing tree roots. Local authorities should keep an eye on these weak points in the sewer system and focus on homogeneous pipe connections. These ensure that the sewer system is leakproof, root-resistant and reliable.

FRIAFIT: Polyethylene for wastewater systems

At Aliaxis, we use polyethylene in our solutions to make wastewater pipes and wastewater systems more robust. That is why we have developed our FRIAFIT wastewater system in line with our customers' requirements - made from the future-proof material PE-100.

Sustainable thanks to durability: polyethylene

Standard materials in wastewater disposal such as concrete, stoneware and PVC usually show weak points or leaks after a few years. The solution here is polyethylene (PE): fused sewage systems made of this material are leakproof. The robust wastewater pipes and connections withstand ingrowing tree roots and infiltrating water. That is why we have developed a closed drainage system based on PE and sell homogeneously fused pipe connections, house connections and manhole connections. Our sewage system is durable and therefore particularly sustainable - a requirement that more and more cities and municipalities want to meet.

Corrosion-free, sustainable and leakproof: our closed wastewater system

Fusion instead of push-fit technology - we have followed this principle with our FRIAFIT closed wastewater system. The result is durable polyethylene connections. Our waste water system is particularly robust, corrosion-free, leakproof and therefore sustainable. This means less maintenance and therefore lower costs as well as a high level of profitability. Benefit from our expertise in wastewater disposal.

The advantages of polyethylene in wastewater disposal

  • Sustainable: low material weight - saves CO2 during transportation and installation
  • Less environmental impact: fewer repairs and new construction sites
  • Durable: saves raw materials thanks to long service life and low maintenance requirements
  • Robust: withstands extreme weather, undercutting, earthquakes and ingrowing tree roots

What is wastewater disposal?

Wastewater disposal refers to the following process: the wastewater is collected in sewer pipes, routed through the sewage system and treated in wastewater treatment plants, infiltrated, rained on and trickled away - in addition, the sewage sludge is dewatered and the sludge produced is disposed of in small wastewater treatment plants. This complex wastewater treatment process requires a reliable wastewater system and a functioning sewer network.
