International experts from Jordan, Germany, Italy & India to participate in Pipe-Tech seminar in city

Hyderabad|India|June'2010: A full day International Seminar on ‘Pipe-Tech’ to upgrade distribution of Water, Gas, Oil and Sewage System by Plastic Pipes is to be held in city on Monday, 7th June. The Seminar is jointly organised by All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA), Mumbai and A.P. Plastics Manufacturers Association (APPMA), Hyderabad. AIPMA is the oldest and the largest apex body in the plastic industry in India.

Disclosing this in a press note issued in city today Mr. Amrit S. Patel, President - Andhra Pradesh Plastics Manufactures Association (APPMA) said that the seminar will be held at Hotel Marriott, Lower Tankbund Road, Hyderabad from 9am to 5pm.

The demand for proper distribution of water, gas and oil are increasing every day and needs to be upgraded with this growing demand. The pipe technology is also being upgraded from age old mud pipes, to cement, Ac, and PVC and high-tech plastics pipes. The upgradation should aim at reducing wastage, ease of installation, less expensive maintenance, low cost of repair, corrosion free and above all ease of handling. The efficient disposable of waste and sewage water demands also indicate the requirement of high technology pipe system.

Today with micro irrigation and drip irrigation the wastage is much reduced but is
restricted to certain fields like horticulture, vegetables, and row crops. This has to be adopted to other crops also.

Water is a scarce commodity as most of the water available on this planet is saline being ocean water and real potable water is 3% and of this only 30% is ground water which can be used for human consumption, agriculture and other applications. Thus there is every reason to conserve this.

Today we have been talking of supply of gas through pipelines for domestic use. This will ensure continuous supply, effective metering reducing wastage. For this high tech pipe system is required. This is being done in developed countries.

The other thrust area is sewage, waste and rain water disposal as the open nala system has to be replaced by the pipeline system and this would facilitate reduction of storm damage and an effective piping system would ensure the elimination of clogging and consequent obstruction to flow.

It would be very useful for delegates from municipal administration, urban development, metropolitan water supply and sewage development, irrigation department besides the engineers and entrepreneurs from the plastics fraternity. We welcome people to take advantage of this great opportunity being provided at Hyderabad by All India Plastics Manufacturers Association, said Mr. V. Anil Reddy, Managing Committee Member of All India Plastics Manufacturers Association. About 125 people are expected to participate in the Seminar.

The international seminar provides an opportunity to share the latest knowledge and methods adopted abroad for an efficient distribution system with proper hi-tech piping technology. International experts from Jordan, Germany, Italy and India will share their experience and expertise in this field and expose the participants to the latest techniques including pipe jointing techniques.

It is a free seminar. There is no fee for the same. However, those who are interested in participating, needs to reserve seat with prior information on phone: 040 - 23203191.

After the Seminar, a Road Show and launch will be held in the evening at same venue at 7:30 pm on 8th Plastivision India 2011. Plastivision India 2011 - the International Plastic Exhibition and Conference is to be held in Mumbai from 20th to 24th January 2011. Details about the forthcoming event will be provided and a short promotional film will be screened to create awareness about the event, informed Mr. V. Anil Reddy, Managing Committee Member of All India Plastics Manufacturers Association. Plastivision India is a perfect platform for all small, medium and big players of the industry to explore new avenues of trade. Exposure on the state of the art technology, support and know how a few of the highlights of the mega event.
