Chemical injection is a critical process in many industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, water and wastewater treatment, and pharmaceuticals. Injected chemicals are often corrosive or toxic, and direct contact with metal equipment can cause corrosion, shortening its service life and increasing maintenance costs. Therefore, the use of chemical injection systems with corrosion-resistant polymer coatings is an innovative and cost-effective solution.
What is a chemotherapy injection kit?
A chemical dosing system is an integrated system consisting of storage tanks, dosing pumps, piping, control panels, and controls designed for the precise storage and dosing of chemicals in industrial processes. The system is designed for the precise and safe dosing of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, corrosion inhibitors, chlorine, antiscalants, and defoamers.
Why is the housing made of corrosion-resistant polymer?
A significant portion of damage to metal containers is due to corrosion . Constant contact with corrosive chemicals such as sulfuric acid, caustic soda, and liquid chlorine can lead to perforations in the container and serious leaks. In contrast, containers made of polymers such as:
-
Polyethylene (PE)
-
Polypropylene (PP)
-
Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP)
-
PVC and CPVC
High corrosion resistance, low weight, long service life and low maintenance costs have led to the rapid spread of polymer films in modern packaging design.
