Magnelec had installed PVC pressure pipe to transport sodium sulfide. Due to changes in temperature in the fluid, dilatation and contraction of the pipe was frequent issue. The pipe was installed in sections of 6 meters each, generating leaks in the joints. Also, there were problems in the stainless steel pipes with leaks in the joints of the welds. Magnelec decided to replace its pipes with Pexgol. The problem of leakage was solved, thanks to the fact that Pexgol pipes were supplied in rolls of great lengths, which decreased the number of joints. The material of Pexgol pipes is flexible and absorbs the movements that can be generated by changes in temperature.They are also highly resistant to corrosion and to high and low temperatures, so it was the ideal solution.
