A Pump’s Role in Safe Chemical Transfer

A Pump’s Role in Safe Chemical Transfer: “One important point is the compatibility of the material with the chemical,” “The second factor is, if we use solvents, for example, we must use the appropriate chemical process slurry pump that won’t cause an ignition. This means using Chemical slurry pumps with electric conductive material. The third factor is suction capability.”

In Europe, the most important legislation introduced in recent years has been Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals—better known as REACH. Implemented in June 2007 by the European Union, REACH replaced 40 existing directives. There are 73 substances on the Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list. The regulation puts greater responsibility on the industry to manage the risks of chemicals and provide safety information on the substances. However, REACH remains a work in progress.

One other way that the chemical industry is creating a safer environment is through certifications. Equipment must meet certain standards to gain certification and must be considered safe to handle known dangerous chemicals—such as acids, solvents and caustics. In the past, the CE symbol was the recognized symbol for safety. The CE marking or formerly EC mark, is a mandatory conformity marking for products sold in the European Economic Area since 1993. The CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives. Therefore, Excellence centrifugal slurry Pumps can develop freely in EU market by obtaining the CE certification. On the other side, we can export our products to Europe even worldwide and ensure the normal promotion to any country in EU.
