The design and construction industries are experiencing dramatic changes led by the sustainability, or so called "green" building movement. With the help of programs like the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the Department of Energy's Labs21, these developments are transforming the marketplace and calling on everyone, from owners and architects to engineers and contractors, to make the ideas and practices of sustainable design the norm.

As has been the case for over 40 years, KIMAX Glass Drainline and KOCH KNIGHTWARE Neutralization Sumps are uniquely suited to offer a comprehensive sustainable solution for acid waste piping and neutralization systems.

MODULAR & ADAPTABLE

• Lowest life-cycle costs on the market (installation, maintenance, replacement)
• Modularity, flexibility, and adaptability in both design and maintenance
• Easily reconfigured to meet changing lab requirements and chemical compatibility needs

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

• Low VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds)
• Water Conservation – No copious dilution required
• Waste Water Treatment – on-site transport and neutralization of acids
• Installer and lab occupant safety – no off-gassing of toxic fumes

PERFORMANCE & SAFTEY

• Durability - maximum corrosion resistance and low relative thermal expansion
• Dependability - maximum chemical compatibility in respect to temperature, concentration and intermixing
• Will not burn or emit toxic fumes and no change in physical properties over time
• Leak-proof mechanical joint couplings
• No field welding or fusing required
