Liner for Lateral Pipe Line
Systems and methods for forming and deploying a pipe liner in a pipe main having a service lateral. The line is formed from three pieces of material. The piece of material forming the front top and of the main liner and the front of the lateral line has a cutout at the joint to reduce bunching, which can result in non-uniform liner thickness and may form obstructions at the joint.
Chlorine-resistant polyethylene compound and articles made therefrom
A method includes transporting water containing chlorine dioxide, chlorine, chloramines, or hypochlorites through a pipe. The method includes forming a polyethylene resin using a catalyst, mixing the polyethylene resin with an antioxidant, wherein the antioxidant is a thioester, a hindered amine light stabilizer or 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) benzene to form a resin/antioxidant mixture, extruding pipe from the resin/antioxidant mixture, and flowing water containing chlorine dioxide, chlorine, chloramines, or hypochlorites through the pipe. An extruded article is adapted for use in containment and/or transport of water that contains chlorine dioxide, chlorine, chloramines, or hypochlorites. The extruded article includes a polyethylene resin and an antioxidant. The antioxidant is a thioester, a hindered amine light stabilizer or 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) benzene.

High efficiency cast iron anode
An enhanced anode includes a modulated body which improves anode current output efficiency by maximizing the surface area to increase surface area to weight ratio. A toroidally modulated embodiment of the enhanced anode enlarges surface area by 48 percent increasing current output efficiency by 48 percent, only increases weight by three percent, and improves surface/weight ratio 44 percent, compared to know cylindrical anodes. The enhanced anode is preferably made from cast iron or other suitable materials (e.g. magnesium, zinc, aluminum) as well, and the design of the improved anode is applicable to galvanic cast anodes in general. The enhanced anode is suitable for molding and casting and does not increase production costs.
