In addition to cautious handling, the sheer volume of chemicals that need to be produced in order to meet global demand also requires a production process that can reliably and consistently meet production quotas. This means identifying and incorporating a pumping technology that not only is compatible with the myriad types of chemicals, dangerous or not, that are being manufactured and used at one time, but also one that can meet the unwavering demands of product flow and volumetric consistency. This white paper highlights why one type of pumping technology – positive displacement peristaltic (hose) pumps – can rise to the challenges inherent in the manufacture, transfer, transport and containment of many of the world’s unique chemical configurations.
