Wastewater unitLooking for the best electrical enclosure value and reliability in harsh and corrosive water/wastewater environments? Throughout almost six decades, Stahlin® Enclosures have provided the ultimate solutions for the water/wastewater industry with dependable protection for critical uses including:

  • Pump controls
  • Treatment systems
  • Instrumentation and controls
  • Monitoring systems
  • All-In-One (AIO) systems with all key components in one enclosed unit.

 

The importance of reliable protection and enclosure performance cannot be overstated. Harsh environments found in water and wastewater facilities can affect the ability of an enclosure to protect the controls contained within, leading to a multitude of problems, including: dangerous system collapses, production downtime, personal injury, and increased long-term maintenance costs and losses in customers.

 

The most important factors to consider in enclosure selection are the environmental characteristics of the application. Environments can be either indoors or outdoors and, depending on location, involve factors such as moisture, ultraviolet radiation, dust, temperature, and other chemical and physical conditions.

 

Stahlin® Enclosures have been proven, over many years, to provide the following necessary performance benefits for meeting the diverse needs of water/wastewater applications:

 

1.) Corrosion/Chemical Resistance

Water is the most common corrosive element and is usually present, to some extent, in every enclosure application. The level of corrosion typically increases with moisture content, especially in the water and wastewater environment. Because they are non-metallic, Stahlin® Enclosures provide optimal resistance to the ever-present danger of corrosion damage. Metal enclosures are prone to corrosion and incapable of providing the long-term protection necessary for harsh environments.

Water/wastewater applications, whether indoors or outdoors, can be subject to a variety of chemical exposures and vapors, some of which can significantly degrade metal enclosures, consequently threatening the performance of electrical wiring and circuitry as well as sensitive instrumentation, controls and monitoring systems. Stahlin® nonmetallic enclosures provide a solution to that environmental challenge and offer excellent chemical resistance to halogens such as chorine and fluorine that are common in water environments.

2.) Reliability & Durability

An enclosure is only as reliable as the seal that protects whatever the enclosure is housing from potential external harm. If the seal is compromised, damage caused by the ingress of water, saltwater, harsh chemicals & vapors, frost, snow, dust and other contaminants is only a matter of time. Stahlin® Enclosures are constructed using a seamless polyurethane gasket that ensures proper sealing and unsurpassed protection. Unlike metal enclosures, non-metallic enclosures are resistant to denting from impact. Deformation from dents can cause the seals of metal enclosures to deform and fail. Because of their proven reliability, Stahlin® noun-metallic enclosures provide a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty against enclosure product defects —- the longest such assurance of quality in the industry.

 

3.) Added Value
