Applications for Consumable Fuels

Chemical Distribution / Conveyence

Transporting chemicals from storage to the process application must be planned and carried out reliably and safely. The material selected for the transport lines must be compatible with the chemical's properties. We meet these stringent specifications regarding chemical resistance, temperature, pressure, optimal quality, and safety.

Emergency Showers

Safety showers are an essential part of industrial health and safety concepts. We offer an energy-efficient and durable solution with our preinsulated COOL-FIT system. Under certain conditions, COOL-FIT can be an alternative to conventional heat tracing on metal pipes.

Speciality Waste

In many water treatment processes, the water must be adapted to a pH value that complies with treatment specifications. For example, wastewater must be neutralized before it is fed into public treatment plants. Adjusting the pH value regulates the alkaline or acidic wastewater. Our measurement and control technology offers high process reliability and cost optimization in this cost-intensive area.

Underground Fire Protection System

 In case of fire, a secure and reliable water supply for underground distribution and above-ground sprinkler systems is crucial for emergency management. The complete system relies on a consistent water supply with adequate pressure and the right flow rate. Our PE underground systems are FM-approved and provide the highest level of safety and reliability for firefighting water systems.

Air Cleaning

Piping solutions enable effective air cleaning measures that ensure compliance with environmental standards and a healthier environment. Our high-performance, corrosion-resistant piping materials withstand the harsh chemicals and conditions involved in exhaust gas scrubbing, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the scrubber systems.

What does FM-approval mean and how are quality standards sustained?

FM Approvals is an internationally recognized certification organization that tests and certifies components for fire protection systems. Any GF Piping Systems product that is FM-approved is guaranteed to meet rigorous loss prevention standards of quality, technical integrity, and performance.  The manufacturing processes and the in-house testing facilities at GF Piping Systems have been inspected by FM Approvals, and are audited on a frequent basis to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.

What are double containment systems?

  • Double Containment Systems are piping systems specially designed for the safe transport of hazardous media and gases. GF Piping Systems' solution consists of a medium-carrying inner pipe and a containment pipe. In case of an unexpected leakage of the inner pipe, the containment pipe ensures ultimate protection for the surroundings.  
  • Double Containment Systems are required in all applications, where uncontrolled leakages of a medium/gas can damage the environment, employees, and equipment, or influence quality (EHSQ).
  • However, in applications where unexpected leakage can lead to huge consequences – especially those handling aggressive liquids and gases – a double containment system is the ideal solution to reduce costly damages (reputation, end-product quality, plant availability, and IT infrastructure).
