Hydrofracturing water treatment installTexas (Barnett Shale), 2013: Chem Proline replaced corroding steel and leaking CPVC pipe at a remote hydrofracturing water-collection/treatment site, ran above-ground in direct sunlight without a protective coverasahi-america-advanced-pe-piping.md
Install / Failure Note

The Barnett Shale hydrofracturing site replaced corroding steel and leaking CPVC with Chem Proline running above-ground, unshielded, in direct sunlight — UV resistance was the real design requirement that let it skip a protective cover most steel or CPVC installs would need.

BTEX-bearing water and blended HCl/solvent lines both show up here as real, documented Chem Proline installs, not lab data — the hydrofracturing plant engineer's own side-by-side cost comparison against PTFE-lined steel and 316L stainless is the kind of outcome that should carry more weight than a resistance-chart checkmark.
