Dosing and Dilution

Dosing and diluting chemicals requires highly specialized and reliable workflows, especially with aggressive chemicals. Concentrated chemicals in small amounts are dosed inline or through a static mixer that ensures correct dilution.

Mixing Batching Control

In processes where a variety of chemicals are mixed, a cost effective way of doing this is batching. Here, each chemical line hs an actuated valve and flow meter wired to a controller. The controller controls the opening times of each line, hence a recipe of chemicals is accurately mixed.

Distribution of Chemicals

Transporting chemicals in the highest quality, different concentrations, and exact dosing are mandatory. Choosing the appropriate piping system including automation offers many advantages such as increased productivity, decreased production and maintenance costs and improved product quality.

Neutralization

Local water authorities require the neutralization of industrial wastewater discharge to protect the ecological systems in the surrounding lakes, rivers and oceans or protect the local sewer networks and treatment plants. the neutralization process can be different for each industrial location. Operators must meet environmental health and safety requirements to prevent fines and penalties. Reporting effluent discharge is important in the process.

FAQs

How to minimize the risk of costly leakages?

Reasons for unexpected leakages of single pipelines are many-fold. The risk can be reduced to a fraction through careful planning, corrosion-free material selection (thermoplastics) and professional installation. GF Piping Systems offers comprehensive global support and service from planning to commission to ensure a long-lasting system.The CONTAIN-IT Plus double containment system from Georg Fischer Piping Systems minimizes the expensive impacts of leakages to a minimum. Consequently, liquid and gaseous media escaping unexpectedly from medium-carrying inner pipe no longer pose a risk to the surroundings and help planners and plant operators to comply with the principle of concern.  Moreover, depending on local legislation, double containment systems may be mandatory for the legally compliant operation of a plant.

Which are the key challenges while designing a chemcial distrinution system?

Designing a chemical distribution system faces key challenges, including strict regulatory compliance, ensuring safety for workers and the environment, and managing complex logistics and infrastructure. Implementing sustainable practices and effective waste management is critical to minimizing environmental impact. Advanced technology integration, such as real-time monitoring and robust data management, is essential for maintaining product integrity and compliance. Cost management and quality control are vital for competitiveness, while security measures protect against theft, vandalism, and cyber threats. Additionally, the system must be scalable, flexible, and responsive to customer requirements and evolving market demands. Effective collaboration and continuous improvement are paramount. GF Piping Systems is offering advanced engineering services to help solving design challenges. 

Which are the best plastic materials to use in demanding applications?

There are several high-performance plastic materials, such as Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF),  for superior chemical resistance and mechanical strength in aggressive environments. Polypropylene (PP) offers excellent chemical resistance and weldability, which makes it ideal for chemical tanks and piping systems. Polyethylene (PE) provides impact and chemical resistance for water and gas distribution. PVC and CPVC deliver good chemical resistance and flame retardancy for diverse piping applications. Polyamide (PA), or Nylon, ensures durability and strength in high-stress components. These materials are tailored to withstand harsh conditions, providing reliability and performance in demanding industrial applications. Based on the applications, you can select the preferred material using the Chemical resistance tool developed by GF Piping Systems, thanks to the vast experience and knowhow with chemicals.
