The Owner’s Problem: Biogenic Corrosion
When the right conditions exist in a sewer system, Acidophilic* bacteria
feed on sulfur from H2S gas and release sulfuric acid that corrodes
concrete, mortar, steel, and ductile iron. In the most severe cases,
bacterial activity can destroy up to 1 inch (25 mm) of concrete per year.
*Acidophilic describes bacterial strains that
develop best in acidic conditions. Thiobacillus
Thiooxidans generates its own sulfuric acid to
maintain its environment to a pH close to 1 on
Biogenic Corrosion Principles conventional surfaces.

“FROM MICROSCOPIC BACTERIA…

…COME BIG PROBLEMS”

The SewperCoat® Solution:

the only proven 100% calcium aluminate mortar
Why is SewperCoat® superior? It’s simple, the right chemistry…
SewperCoat®’s outstanding durability in the most severe sewer
environments relies on the unique “bacterio-static effect” of calcium
aluminates. The metabolism of acid-generating bacteria is inhibited
on calcium aluminate surfaces, thus maintaining a pH level above 3.

The unique SewperCoat® equation:

much less bacterial activity,
much less sulphuric acid production,
much less corrosion damage,

… it’s that simple!

SewperCoat® provides the Owner with following key benefits:

Easy monolithic installation
Readily adheres to damp concrete surfaces
High early strength/High abrasion resistance
Restores structural integrity
Rock solid barrier to infiltration
Economical to apply, and cost effective in the long run
Lasts for generations
Supports sustainable development
Backed by a no-nonsense 10-year labor and materials warranty

California
Lift stations and wet wells are
routinely protected with SewperCoat®.
Texas
SewperCoat® is commonly used
to protect new and existing
wastewater structures in Texas.
Sweden
SewperCoat® is utilized in Sweden’s
colder climates, where biogenic corrosion
also occurs.
Middle East
The harsh Middle East climate calls for
SewperCoat® with junction chamber
and manhole installations since 1996.
Singapore
Discharge chambers rely on SewperCoat®
to last beyond the planned service life.

Florida
Thousands of manholes have
been repaired with SewperCoat®
Australia and New Zealand
in Florida alone.
SewperCoat® is used throughout Australia
and New Zealand to protect and extend the
life of trunk lines, manholes, wet wells, etc...

The ease of a cementitious mortar…
