    Like PE pipes, PP pipes weigh very little and have a lower density than water, so they float. Applications: • Sanitation piping. • Evacuation of rainwater. • Pipes without pressure. Unions: The PP pipe joining system is by melting, so that the product is welded as a single piece, without joints. 6. Multi-layer pipes:

    Today, global energy consumption heavily relies on fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, in 2015, Australia relied 86% of the electricity generation on traditional non-renewable energy sources (73% coal, 13% natural gas).1 The burning of these fossil fuels has been very closely associated with carbon and greenhouse gas emission, resulting changes in the climate such as global warming and extreme weathers. The CO2 emissions had increased from estimated 198 megatons in 1850 to an astonishing

    the water on the draw side, then the pressurised water flow pushes the turbine to generate electricity. Even though the theory of harnessing power by mixing high-saline water and low-saline water was first brought up in the 1950s, and the mechanism was first proposed by Leob in 1970s. PRO was not widely accepted due its low performance. And the use of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was found to reduce the performance due to severe concentration polarisation. However, with the technological advancement

    Polymer is a compound consisting of long-chain molecules, each molecule made up of repeating unit connected together by a covalent bond. Most polymers are based on carbon and are therefore considered organic chemicals. Groover (2011) suggests that ?the word polymer is derived from Greek, poly and meros, meaning many and parts, respectively. Some scientists prefer to use the word macromolecules or large molecules, instead of polymer?. The polymers are created by connecting many small molecules forms

    of polyethylene (PE), high density and linear low density polyethylene. [1] The production process involves the transportation of the liquid ethylene feedstock, via pipeline, to the plant site followed by the production of various PE resins (pellet form). These PE pellets are then sold to consumers for use in common applications such as bottles for milk and other non-carbonated drinks, drums, fuel tanks for automobiles, toys and household goods. Due to the fact that high density polyethylene (HDPE)
