In this episode, I revisit a conversation that started for me eight years ago: the debate around thermoplastic valves in desalination projects.
Back then, doubts and questions dominated—are they reliable, better than metal?
Today, those same questions still come up, and that’s why I found GF’s recent presentation so valuable.
We explore the case for thermoplastic valves, their performance in real-world conditions, and why knowledge-sharing is still key for designers, consultants, and operators alike.
It’s a story about technology, but also about trust, collaboration, and how the industry learns and evolves together.
