The courses Asahi/America provides offer key insights on how to optimize the design of valve and piping systems. For example, in high purity water systems, we recommend the use of diaphragm valves instead of ball valves. Diaphragm valves help to prevent bacteria growth because they are designed to eliminate dead space or entrapment areas where water could stagnate. Another example is in the transport of bleach (sodium hypochlorite). We recommend our Chem Proline® advanced polyethylene (PE) piping for this application because of its excellent material properties and fusion joining. Other options for the transport of bleach, such as PVC or CPVC pipe with solvent cement joining, can lead to leaks down the road as the bleach attacks the solvent cement. These examples are just some of the ways that Asahi/America’s experts help train and educate the market on the broad use of thermoplastic piping and valve systems in various applications.
