Every day industrial workers transfer potentially hazardous chemicals, such as solvents, acetones, lubricants, cleansers, and acids, from large drums into smaller containers, or into machinery. Traditionally, such potentially flammable or combustible liquids have been tipped and poured. Today such spill-prone, VOC emitting methods are no longer considered acceptable, safe, or compliant – not when a fire or explosion can result.
PFA lined pumps and valves fixed to road and rail tankers and wagons are helping to ensure the safety of European roads, railways and waterways as the amount of dangerous liquids being carried increases.
Tuffa chemical storage tanks are a one piece manufactured tank (no seams or welded joints) supplied to customer specifications using a variety of Tuffa's fittings and accessories and provide a true alternative to glass fibre reinforced (GRP), welded, and traditional lined metal vessels for the storage of corrosive solutions.
Industrial thermoplastic piping systems are now firmly established in a wide range of applications since their introduction over forty years ago. The intervening years have seen dramatic growth in the choice of piping materials, diversity of products, dimensions available and the development of manufacturing standards.
Additional approvals certify custody transfer accuracy and overfill prevention of Emerson’s Rosemount® Raptor tank gauging system
The Dutch Metrological Institute NMi, has approved Emerson Process Management’s Rosemount® Raptor tank gauging system for custody transfer accuracy, and the German DIBt / TÜV Nord has tested and approved the system in accordance with the rules for overfill prevention. These national standards with traceability to international standards are essential for customer confidence in the performance and safety of automation equipment like tank gauging.
If you are handling any of these or other toxic or corrosive liquids you need DCS Liquid:

Durapipe’s specialist dual contained pipework system, Guardian, has been installed at a new Amstrong World Industries factory in Gateshead.
Armstrong World Industries is a global manufacturer of ceiling and floor products and commissioned ProMinent, experts in Chem-feed and water treatment, to source a pipework solution for its ceiling tile production process at its new factory.
- New 16-mile gas pipeline will potentially cut energy costs by 30 per cent -
Speyside distillers Chivas Brothers, Diageo and Angus Dundee have each contributed to a multi-million pound contract with leading gas connection infrastructure company Fulcrum, which will oversee the creation of a new pipeline linking remote Speyside distilleries at The Glenlivet, Tormore Cragganmore and Tomintoul with Scotland’s main gas network.

A range of sizes of hydraulic and instrumentation tubing in high alloy, austenitic stainless steel, Sandvik 254SMO* also known as 6Mo, UNS31254, is now available from stock at Sandvik Materials Technology.
Ideal for installations in industrial, oil and gas and chemical applications, Sandvik 254SMO* is equally suited to arduous and demanding environments. The tubing has very good impact strength and high resistance to general corrosion and is available from stock in a range of outside diameters from 6 mm up to 25 mm, but other sizes can be manufactured to customer requirements.
