Which drainage system will withstand aggresive wastewater for decades?
Drainage system for Hot production area

Your brewery needs to be watertight and easy-to-clean. If you want to invest in durable solution, you need to install stainless steel drainage system. Plastic system will not withstand the high temperatures since it starts deforming at 140°F. Cast iron on the other hand is not chemically resistant.
