Installing a Chemical Feed System is more complicated than most think! There are many overlooked logistics that can turn your Chem Feed System into a huge pain.
These are 8 of the top mistakes we see in the industry:
1. Forklift Access
- Wall height is too tall
- Not accessible with a forklift
2. Small Containment Volume
- Not enough drainage
- Displacement reduces the volume to <110%
3. Occupies a Large Area
- A large footprint takes up a lot of real estate
- The tote is less accessible
4. Incompatibility
- 2 or more chemicals sharing the same containment bin
5. Poor Coatings
- Incompatible coatings get destroyed on the first leak
6. Suction Routing
- Tubing up/down
- This set up leads to loss of prime of pumps
7. Route to No Containment
- Risk of leak escaping containment
- A leak may run down the tubing and drain outside of containment
- A leak may also develop on the chem feed skid and tote contents drain
8. Wrong BVP Location
- BVPs on skids vs. injection locationl
- BVPs would be installed at the injection point instead of located on the skidl
- This provides better chemistry control
