Safety & Compliance by Design

  • Tube Failure Detection (TFD): instant pump shutoff + alarm when tubing ruptures; prevents small failures from becoming reportable spills.
  • Integrated containment: drip basins and enclosures keep chemicals within the skid envelope.
  • HazLoc‑ready options: enclosures and barriers for flammable/corrosive service per site requirements.
  • Standardized documentation: P&IDs, I/O lists, O&M manuals for smooth commissioning and training.

Applications & Typical Specs

Municipal disinfection & pH control
Wastewater polymer & coagulant dosing
Cooling towers & industrial process water
RO pretreatment / post‑treatment lines
Food & beverage CIP / sanitation dosing
Mining / heavy industry chemical feed

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an integrated chemical feed skid system?

A factory‑assembled package (pumps, piping, valves, controls, and documentation) designed and tested as a unit. It reduces onsite labor, compresses schedules, and provides single‑source accountability.

How do skids reduce project time 25–30%?

Complex mechanical and electrical assembly occurs off‑site in parallel with civil and utility work. This removes critical‑path dependencies and weather delays.

Which pressures and materials are supported?

Blue‑White families provide up to 150 PSI frames with PVC, CPVC, PVDF, PE, and 316SS options; others are configured per application.

How do you prevent leaks and spills?

Design features like Tube Failure Detection, drip containment, properly selected materials, and balanced back‑pressure eliminate common failure modes.

Do you provide FAT and handover documentation?

Yes—factory test options plus complete handover packs (P&IDs, I/O lists, O&M manuals) for smooth startup and training.

What’s a typical payback period?

Controls and safety features often pay back in 1–3 years on operational savings alone; risk avoidance accelerates ROI further.
