Soluciones seguras y de vanguardia para garantizar la máxima protección contra la corrosión.

Seguridad en Condiciones Extremas

Garantizar la seguridad en los procesos operativos de la industria química es crucial, especialmente al trabajar con materiales peligrosos que pueden poner en riesgo a las personas, el medio ambiente y la infraestructura. El principal desafío para los fabricantes de productos químicos en la actualidad radica en equilibrar el cumplimiento de normas de seguridad con la necesidad de mantener una producción consistente, alta productividad y rentabilidad.


Cumpliendo con las normas de seguridad actuales, nuestro portafolio de sistemas, tecnologías de unión, válvulas y soluciones de medición garantizan un control óptimo del proceso, así como la seguridad y disponibilidad continua de la planta. Además, en la etapa previa al proyecto, brindamos a nuestros clientes un acompañamiento personalizado y experto para seleccionar la solución más adecuada a sus necesidades.

Applications

Control de Ratio de Mezcla

La mezcla de químicos utilizando un controlador de relación es un método seguro y altamente rentable. Dos líneas de proceso pueden mezclarse en un mezclador estático en línea. Las líneas superior e inferior transportan diferentes medios, y el controlador de relación simplemente compara los caudales de ambas líneas con una proporción previamente establecida.

Dosificación y Dilución

La dosificación y dilución de químicos requiere flujos de trabajo altamente especializados y confiables, especialmente al manejar químicos agresivos. Los químicos concentrados se dosifican en pequeñas cantidades de forma en línea o a través de un mezclador estático que garantiza una dilución precisa.

Control de Mezcla por Lotes

En los procesos donde se mezclan diversos químicos, una forma rentable de hacerlo es mediante el sistema de lotes. En este proceso, cada línea de químicos cuenta con una válvula actuada y un medidor de flujo conectados a un controlador. El controlador regula los tiempos de apertura de cada línea, lo que permite que la receta de químicos se mezcle con precisión.

Sodium Hypochlorite Dosing

Aggressive media such as sodium hypochlorite are used as a process media. These substances require piping systems place high demands regarding chemical resistance and safety on the piping system.

Sulfuric Acid Storage Tanks

In every manufacturing and processing plan, there is a tank required to store liquid media. We offer fast, reliable, and safe tools for filling and emptying tanks. The product range comprises a large spectrum of piping systems including measurement, control and actuation technology and an extensive array of valve solutions fro demanding applications.

Draw-Off Station

Piping systems in draw-off stations must be resilient and low-maintenance. With quick and economical filling, a major requirement, the two stage shut down function can help eliminate over and under filling. Furthermore, no maintenance costs are incurred and no contamination of moving parts (rust,incrustation) takes place. The drawing-off process itself, however, requires reliable system components for smooth operation. Flow controllers and sensors permit drawing off precise preset amounts.

FAQs

What are the biggest concerns in the chemical production industry, and how can GF Piping Systems use thermoplastic piping systems to solve them?

The biggest concerns in the chemical production industry include corrosion, leakage, operational inefficiencies, and safety hazards. We can support addressing these issues with our thermoplastic piping systems. Thermoplastics are highly resistant to corrosion, reducing maintenance costs and extending system lifespan. GF's Double Containment systems prevent leaks by providing an additional protective layer, significantly enhancing safety and environmental protection. Our advanced Process Automation solutions and Connectivity innovations enable real-time monitoring and control, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime. These integrated solutions ensure reliable, safe, and efficient chemical production operations.

What are the top 3 measurement parameters you have to monitor in chemical production plants?

The top three measurement parameters to monitor in chemical production plants are:

  1. Pressure: Ensures the integrity of the system, prevents leaks or bursts, and maintains optimal operating conditions.
  2. Temperature: Critical for controlling chemical reactions, ensuring safety, and maintaining product quality.
  3. Flow: Essential for monitoring the movement of materials through the system, ensuring process efficiency and consistency.

How can you automate the field-level devices in chemical production plants?

In chemical production plants, the interplay between valves and actuators is crucial for precise control and automation. Valves regulate the flow of fluids, while actuators adjust the valve position based on commands. Integrating Industrial Ethernet-ready components enhances this interaction by providing high-speed, reliable communication between devices.

Using Industrial Ethernet protocols, such as Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET, enables real-time data exchange and control. This integration allows for seamless communication between valves, actuators, and central control systems, facilitating more accurate and responsive process adjustments. Industrial Ethernet also supports advanced diagnostics and remote monitoring, enabling proactive and preventive maintenance and reducing downtime. This synergy between valves, actuators, and networked components ensures efficient and flexible chemical production processes.

What valves are commonly used, and what are the benefits of thermoplastic valves over metal alternatives in chemical production plants?

Ball, diaphragm, and butterfly valves are commonly used in chemical production. Thermoplastic valves offer several advantages over metal alternatives: They are highly resistant to corrosion and abrasion, making them ideal for aggressive fluids. They are also lighter, reducing installation and maintenance costs. Thermoplastic valves generally have smoother surfaces, maximizing flow capacities. These properties enhance durability and reliability in demanding chemical processes, leading to improved operational efficiency.
