Given the substances used, the complexity of the processes and the potential risks to people and the environment, process reliability plays a more important role in the chemical industry than it does in perhaps any other industry. The consequences of failures, leaks and equipment damage can have far-reaching consequences. Generally speaking: The greater the impact of a fault-related failure, the more important it is to use reliable, verifiable components. This is essential, particularly in the field of pump technology.

Extreme temperatures, hazardous substances, high pressure: If processes in the chemical industry are not carried out safely, the consequences are severe. In the worst-case, accidents and explosions can occur that endanger human life and cause serious injuries to employees. Extending beyond the hazards in the workplace, the quality of the manufactured products must be ensured. If processes are not stable, deviations from the product specifications can occur. The result: inferior or dangerous end products. However, it is not just people who are at risk due to unsafe processes – the environment is too. If the equipment leaks, chemical substances that cause environmental damage can escape. Wherever chemical processes are involved, to protect people and the environment, the focus is always on process reliability. Pumps are an integral part of the process and they play a particularly important role. They bear a significant responsibility; they ensure that the process runs smoothly. For example, pumps are used to convey liquids such as chemical solutions.
