Netafim
Heap leach mining irrigation and subsurface drip wastewater dispersal — two distinct divisions, a real ALD70 diaphragm chemical resistance chart, and Bioline® effluent dispersal driplines.
What LibertyCES specifies from Netafim
Driplines, valves, and air valves engineered for closed-loop sulfuric acid and cyanide leach solutions — with a real ALD70 diaphragm chemical resistance chart.
Delivers treated effluent into the biologically active soil horizon — purple-wrapped non-potable tubing, built-in physical root barrier, antibacterial-impregnated drippers.
"Nylon valves are ideal for mild corrosive and acidity levels; PVC valves are ideal for higher corrosive and acidity levels" — real Netafim material-selection guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What chemicals is the Netafim ALD70 valve diaphragm rated for?
ALD70 is rated up to 38°C for sulfuric acid, but Netafim rates it "Not Good" for chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide, and nitric acid even at low concentrations — Netafim's own catalog recommends Hastelloy as the substitute wetted material for those three chemistries.
What is Bioline® dripline used for?
Bioline is a pressure-compensating dripline purpose-built for subsurface drip dispersal — delivering treated septic or municipal effluent into the biologically active soil horizon rather than surface-discharging it, at 0.4-0.9 GPH dripper flow rates.
What is the difference between Netafim nylon and PVC valves?
Per Netafim's own guidance, nylon valves are ideal for mild corrosive and acidity levels in the water, while PVC valves are ideal for higher corrosive and acidity levels — a direct material-selection ranking for headworks assemblies in advanced treatment wastewater drip dispersal systems.
