Transfer pumps form a key part of any chemical plant. These pumps must operate reliably, often around the clock and handling a variety of corrosive or otherwise difficult materials. This article explains how to plan and carry out routine maintenance of centrifugal chemical pumps so as to avoid pump downtime and consequent lost production.

The recipe is simple and efficient: Take a dry compressing screw vacuum pump and a roots pump, combine both of the proven technologies along with pressure measurement, filtration, shut-off devices and electrical control, creating a turn-key smart vacuum system that is cost-effective and completely ready for use by the customer — for a variety of applications.

Learn how a producer of specialty chemicals optimizes the safety and reliability of polymer-emulsions manufacturing with the assistance of special eccentric disc pumps.

Water treatment is not the environment in which one expects to find state of the art automation technology — And yet, sewage treatment plants could benefit greatly from the latest developments in drives and process control systems. All that is needed is an open mind for innovative thinking and new technologies, as a major English water distributor experienced.

Developing Planex System Italvacuum has invented a zero friction planetary movement eccentric agitator, which defines drying new — Designed to dry wet feed from filtration and centrifuging processes the vacuum dryer is ideal for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, fine chemicals and intermediates.

In today’s world of fierce competition and tough regulatory compliance pressure, to remain competitive with hassle-free production, every biopharmaceutical manufacturer is looking at some key catalysts of process change – such as modularisation, flexibility, fast changeover and minimising contamination risks. Thus, technologies engrossing this paradigm shift are coming into the forefront. Rapid advancement in disposable technologies will soon make them indispensable.

Biopharmaceutical manufacturing may come in a wide variety of forms, but every iteration of unit operation must adhere to an unbending set of operational parameters and structures if the desired outcome — a viable, contaminant-free drug suitable for human or animal administration — is to be realized. It is all about “controlled fluid transfer.”
