Product Information
One of our customers required a chemical dispensing and waste collection system for a new process. No existing space was available on site for chemical storage and so we required a bespoke chemical store. This needed to be Atex rated with sufficient storage space for 6 IBC’s. We also needed a rear accessible area behind the IBC’s to install our pumps and pipework which meant a container sized at 9m x 3.6m.
Our system is a fully automated chemical dispensing system. The IBC’s are mounted on load cells so that the customer can check chemical usage and also know when The IBC’s are running low. The chemicals are filtered and then pumped automatically to the customers process equipment.

These solutions include Chemical Dispense Modules, Acid Etch Facilities, DI Water Plants, Wet Benches and Cleanroom Equipment.The ultimate client here is a global life sciences leader based who manufacture
single-use bioprocessing technologies, used to make vaccines and biopharmaceuticals for global customers. The client needed a bespoke Chemical Dispensing module to house 4 x IBCs of ‘Clean’ chemicals to be pump-fed into the Manufacturing unit and 2 x IBCs to collect waste chemicals which are pumped into them.
Three-way Zoom/Teams meetings were held to determine the exact requirements in terms of the Dispensing Module’s design and the internal Chemical Dispensing gear required.
