Risk assessments by safety officers are increasingly concluding that bulk consignments of hazardous chemicals such as concentrated acids should change from a pressurised to a pumped discharge.
Growing awareness of the hazards of pressurised working has also focused attention on other Health and Safety and environmental considerations, in particular the need for thorough scrubbing of the 'air pad' as the last of the liquid passes into the storage tank.
With Forbes TUF Pumpsets, safe working is now easy and economical.
Corrosion free, maintenance free and controllable, the heart of the system is a CDR Pumps magnetic drive pump, which ensures complete containment of the liquid.
Forbes Sales Director Melvyn Jupp says "The TUF pumpset has been in production for a number of years, and has proved to be a very reliable piece of process plant for many of our customers.
As legislation drives constant increases in safety, the TUF Pumpset comes into its own as the only purpose built plant available on the market for the safe unloading of chemical from road tankers".
CDR Pumps Managing Director Ashley Fenn says "We are delighted to be continuing our close working relationship with Forbes, we have worked with them successfully for many years, and provide full technical and commercial support to ensure that collectively, their plant and our pumps give the customer many years trouble free and safe operation".
