Plastics Pipes Conference XIV, Budapest, Ungarn
The Plastics Pipes Conference XIV was held in Budapest in September 2008, where Dr. J. Hessel introduced new approaches for testing PE and PA 12 pipes, along with advancements in the thermal aging process for PE 100 pipes. These methods enable more cost-effective and efficient testing to ensure pipe performance and safety.

12th Wiesbadener Kunststoffrohrtage (Wiesbaden Plastic Pipe Days)
At the 12th Wiesbaden Kunststoffrohrtage in 2008, Dr. J. Hessel presented on the expanded application possibilities of the high-performance material PE 100-RC. Meanwhile, Dr. Boris Gibbesch and Johannes Grieser discussed the use of thick-walled PP pipes in flue gas cleaning.
Welding and Testing Parameters for Polypropylene (PP) Pipes with Wall Thicknesses up to 100 mm
At the Grevenbroich-Neurath lignite power plant, successful welding parameters for butt fusion welding of polypropylene with wall thicknesses of up to 100 mm were developed. These parameters ensure the safe and efficient use of components in flue gas cleaning systems.
