Pipe, Valves and Fittings
Our advanced plastic piping solutions feature PVC, CPVC, PVDF, Polypropylene, and Polyethylene formulations engineered for pressure and drainage applications that consistently meet or surpass demanding industry standards. Our control valve portfolio encompasses on/off, modulation and flow control, pressure regulation, and relief and back pressure control capabilities—specifically designed for critical specialty processes including plating, anodizing, etch, conversion, and rinse tank operations.
Instrumentation
Rotameters, sensors, transmitters and controllers for common measurement parameters such as flow, level, pH/ORP, conductivity/resistivity, temperature. Designed for corrosive environments, sensors are constructed from corrosion resistant materials, such as Polypropylene, PVDF, 316 SS, PTFE, PEEK and CPVC.
Pumping and Filtration Systems
Electronic chemical metering and peristaltic tubing pumps and deliver chemicals in-line or to batch tank systems. Mag-drive and close-coupled centrifugal pumps provide fluid transfer, distribution and recirculation capability. Air-operated double diaphragm pumps provide positive displacement transfer of fluids and slurries out of sumps and tanks. Filtration systems use a variety of membrane filters, separators and presses or mesh bags to effectively remove unwanted particles from the fluid being pumped. Accessories include calibration columns, injection nozzles, static mixers and pulsation dampeners.
Actuation and Automation
Pneumatic or electrically actuated valves receiving control signals from process transmitters or controllers allow automation of your entire process.
Storage Tanks, Heaters, Mixers & Level Control
Our versatile bulk storage tank lineup features High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and fiberglass (FRP) construction, offered in both open-top day tank and closed-top designs with customizable configurations and fitting options tailored to your operational needs.
Beyond standard storage, we provide integrated chemical handling solutions including dedicated chemical feed stations, secondary containment tanks, and tank containment basins engineered for safe and compliant fluid management. Our thermal control capabilities include in-line and immersion heaters, thermoplastic heat exchangers, and advanced control systems for precise temperature management.
Our level measurement and monitoring portfolio encompasses visual sight tubes, level indicators, transmitters, and controllers utilizing optic, ultrasonic, radar, and alternative level sensing technologies to deliver comprehensive visibility and data collection for your storage systems.
Structural Materials and Welding Equipment
Fiberglass grating and stair tread, stair rail, catwalks, FRP structural shapers and plank sheets. FM 3910 Listed PVC-C, PVDF, PFA, E-CTFE, Polypropylene and PVC sheet.
