Demonstrating system design compliance using industry leading thermoplastic technology in the desalination process
In recent blogs, we have discussed many of the technical and functional benefits of using Corzan® CPVC Piping Systems in desalination.
However, as desalination becomes increasingly instrumental in protecting growing populations worldwide, compliance has never been more stringent in this challenging industry.
Corzan CPVC Piping Systems are fully compliant with a wealth of internationally recognised standards of quality functionality and safety.
As a CPVC material, its suitability for desalination is illustrated by its compliance to ASTM standards and its chemical resistance and pressure bearing capabilities are demonstrated in its compliance to many internationally recognised ISO standards.
Let's take a look at some of the international standards and agencies that recognise Corzan CPVC Piping Systems as the designers choice for developing safe efficient desalination facilities, for the future of our global water supply.

Corzan CPVC Piping Systems offers system designers a number of installation advantages, particularly when assembling desalination infrastructure.
CPVC is approximately 1/8th the weight of comparable sized steel. It is a lightweight construction material that saves time and energy during installation. It is also easier to cut, allowing for safe on-site fabrication with no requirement for heat sources, including open flames.
Its suitability for working practices in industrial applications are illustrated by its compliance under many international standards set out by ASTM, including the following:
Corzan CPVC Piping Systems are certified as safe for potable water applications in that it does not leach harmful levels of potential contaminants, throughout its service life.
This is illustrated by its NSF 61 certification for Drinking Water System Components, among many others:
Corzan CPVC Piping Systems possess exceptional resistance to a wide range of corrosive substances including ferric chloride, sulfuric acid and sodium bisulfite.
It is specifically designed for chemical resistance in the desalination process, as demonstrated by the following standards:
Corzan CPVC Piping Systems are safe and dependable in high pressure and temperature conditions, even in hot climates with high ambient temperatures and UV exposure.
Its inherent heat resistance has earned its reputation in desalination applications, as demonstrated by the following ISO certification:
