How Desalination Plants in Florida Rely on Corrosion-Resistant Pipes and Valves for Long-Term Performance

With the continued rise of Florida’s population, the need for sustainable water solutions has also risen. In fact, due to these concerns, the state has quickly become a national leader in desalination technology. While this may seem like a simple solution, the fact is, the desalination process can be incredibly tough on the required infrastructure. These plants need advanced desalination piping systems with corrosion-resistant valves that can support such extreme conditions.

The Corrosion Problem

One of the fundamental problems with desalination is that seawater is incredibly corrosive due to the extremely high chloride content. This can lead to critical damage to standard metal components, which is why desalination piping systems need to be built with corrosion-resistant alloys.

Marine-Grade Industrial Piping from Florida Industrial Products

To achieve long-lasting performance in the desalination industry, the state of Florida requires advanced materials and solutions designed to keep up with this dynamic and specialized process. At Florida Industrial Products (FIP), we support this key industry by providing a huge stockpile consisting of over 10,000 SKUs, each uniquely crafted to properly handle corrosive substances.  Our coastal water treatment piping solutions include:

• Corrosion-Resistant Alloys – These specialized alloys are critical when it comes to things like intake and brine discharge. We have a wide selection of these materials in stock to handle any level of brine concentration.
• Thermoplastic Piping (Aquatherm) – We also provide Aquatherm piping systems composed of polypropylene-random and designed to be immune to electrochemical corrosion. This piping solution does not scale, rust, or pit, making it perfect for chemical feed and cooling lines within a desalination facility.
• High-Performance Valves and Fittings – We proudly supply precision-engineered fittings and valves from leading manufacturers. Our products are built to withstand the constant pressure and vibrations of your industrial water plant.

The FIP Advantage: Speed and Reliability

When it comes to maintaining access to clean water for the residents of Florida, downtime is simply not an option. If any component within a desalination facility fails, thousands of people could end up at risk. At Florida Industrial Products, we fully understand this sense of urgency and operate within this mindset. Thanks to our stock of over $4 million worth of on-site inventory spread between our two warehouses in Orlando and Tampa, we can respond to your needs with a level of swiftness that other suppliers simply cannot match. Here’s how:

• Eliminating Lead Times – In many cases, competing vendors have long lead times, while at FIP, we ship 97% of our orders complete, most of which arrive the very next day to any Florida location.
• Tracking Your Order – Orders are submitted through our electronic data interchange, eliminating any unnecessary steps and making it easy to procure what you need.
• 24/7 Support – We are available day or night for emergencies, so you can count on FIP for critical support when it matters most.
