For the new wastewater treatment plant, Cruz-Hogan selected Tnemec Permas-Shield lining system. This system is designed specifically to resist the aggressive and corrosive nature of hydrogen sulfide gas permeation and the resulting destruction of the concrete structure.
After preparing the surface, Tnemec Series 434 Perma-Shield H2S was applied at 1/8” (125 mils) by spray and closed using trowels. A finish coat of Series 435 Perma-Glaze was applied to further protect the structure from the anticipated high levels of H2S.
