Flocculators

Flocculators are primarily used in the treatment of water and wastewater to separate impurities by allowing fine particles to amass together, creating larger flocs, which are easier to remove. This removal helps to purify the water making it cleaner.

A flocculator includes a configuration of pipework through which the water is mixed with an agent typically a coagulant or flocculant to facilitate the separation process. We design and build each flocculator to maximise the possible interaction between the water and the agent as the water passes through the configuration of pipework. PH probes can also be inserted into the pipework to help measure levels within the water.

We can design and build flocculators to your specification and size, depending on the application, flow rate and treatment required. Typically manufactured in HDPE (32mm to 160mm diameter) to provide excellent chemical resistance and durability.

Dosing and Filling Systems

We have built custom Dosing and Filling Systems for our customers in a broad range of industries including food and beverage, energy, and chemical manufacturing and processing.

A Dosing System would be required to introduce a specified amount of an agent or chemical at a specific point in a production process.

The Filling Systems we design allow chemicals to be transferred from bulk supply into smaller tanks or IBC’s and then into smaller containers for sale to industry or consumers.

Every Dosing and Filling System we design and manufacture considers the chemical, supply, required flow rate, dispensing and handling requirements.

“I also wanted to let you know how professional Tom was when on site. Polite, courteous as well as precise with his work. Definitely a credit to your company.”

Ryan Brennan, Recipharm

Pickling Line

Pickling is the process of cleaning metal parts as they move through a manufacturing or finishing process. We have designed and built custom cleaning systems to remove scale, rust and surface oxides using acidic solutions known as pickling liquor. We have designed and built Pickling Lines to clean metal components and also wire rods prior to wire drawing.

a) Wire Drawing – prior to the wire drawing process, the wire rod is pickled to ensure the removal of surface contaminants. This then means the lubricant used to help draw the wire can completely adhere to the rod surface.

b) Component Cleaning Systems – once a metal component has been produced, prior to it moving to final finishing, it would move through the pickling line to remove any surface residue such as dirt or weld debris.

We are also able to provide liners for existing stainless steel pickling tanks to provide a chemically resistant layer to the tank’s interior walls.

Fume Extraction

Cabinets for fume extraction, often called fume hoods or fume cabinets are used to contain and remove hazardous and noxious fumes from applications and protect the wider environment and operators. Fumes (typically from Hydrochloric Acid or Nitric Acid) are drawn from inside the cabinet and can then either be filtered and recirculated or extracted where they can be scrubbed to leave clean air. For details of our Fume Scrubbers please visit here.

Vacuum Vessels

Vacuum vessels (also known as vacuum chambers or tanks) are used to create and control a vacuum or low-pressure environment, which when combined with temperature and pressure, create a specific environment for research and experiments and precise manufacturing processes. We design and build vacuum vessels from thermoplastics to give them the necessary stability and strength to maintain the required conditions.

The Vacuum vessels pictured here are being used as part of a vacuum filling system.

Full Installations

These are complex projects involving Thermoplastic Chemical Storage tanks, Pumps, ChemiGuards all connected using specifically designed pipework, commonly known as Turnkey Projects (watch video here). In projects of this scale, we’d manage the offload, siting and bolt down procedure to install the chemical storage tanks, then install a ChemiGuard tanker offload cabinet plus any required pumps and connect everything with pipework in the most appropriate material.

Tank Removal and Repositioning

Nothing stands still, including our customers, so as they expand to new sites and restructure old ones, we are able to assist with relocating our Chemical Storage Tanks so they can take full advantage of their 20-year design life. This solution not only has cost benefits but is the sensible and sustainable choice.

Repairs, Replacements and Refurbishments

Age-related repairs and replacements

Over time, with exposure to chemicals, UV and temperature, pipework may degrade. We can provide an exact replacement of an existing pipework system, giving you continuity and minimising downtime.

REPAIRS AND REFURBISHMENT

Our Site Engineers can assist with on-site repairs and refurbishments of the following:

  • Plastic pipework
  • Tanks and vessels
  • Ductwork
  • Other Plant

“All went well, you have an excellent installation team.”

Pipework Systems in Polypropylene

Polypropylene (PP) pipework is a versatile material we use in a variety of applications due to its broad range of chemical resistance, durability, and versatility. We’ve created Pipework Systems in PP for the following applications:

  • Chemical processing
  • Water treatment
  • Dairy and food processing
  • Waste and effluent transfer
  • Water and wastewater treatment
  • Ventilation and fume extraction

We design each Pipework System to the specific demands of the application and our team of Site Engineers provide professional installation services.

Pipework Systems in High Density Polyethylene

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipework is used in a wide variety of applications due to its durability, flexibility and resistance to corrosion and abrasion. We’ve created Pipework Systems in HDPE for the following applications:

  • Water treatment
  • Chemical processing
  • Mining and slurry transfer
  • Wastewater and effluent systems

We specialise in using HDPE (high-density polyethylene) due to its durability, high tensile strength and operating pressure characteristics. Our team of Site Engineers have installed Pipework Systems in polyethylene all around the UK.

Pipework Systems in PVC

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipework is a versatile and commonly used material for a wide range of applications as its lightweight, low cost, easy to install and has good resistance to corrosion.

  • Water supply and distribution
  • Wastewater and effluent drainage
  • Chemical transfer
  • HVAC systems

PVC is typically not suitable for high pressure or temperatures and it’s essential to choose the right type of PVC pipe (e.g., schedule 40, schedule 80, or CPVC) based on the specific requirements and environmental conditions of your application.

Pipework Systems in PVDF

PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) pipework is a high-performance fluoropolymer material known for its durability and excellent chemical resistance to a broad range of acids and organic solvents. It is often used in applications where extreme resistance to aggressive and corrosive chemicals and elevated temperatures is required. We have designed and installed Pipework Systems in PVDF for the following applications:

  • Water treatment
  • Chemical processing
  • Mining and slurry transfer
  • Wastewater and effluent systems

We specialise in using HDPE (high-density polyethylene) due to its durability, high tensile strength and operating pressure characteristics. Our team of Site Engineers have installed Pipework Systems in polyethylene all around the UK.

“Please pass my sentiments and thanks to the two gentlemen who attended site to conduct the pipework replacement. This was a professional installation, well executed and installed to a high standard.”
