Take a look around you. Almost every manufactured item in the room has involved the use of process piping in at least one stage of its production. Whether its transporting acid, cooling liquid, or biogas, process piping, and the pieces of equipment that accompany it, are vital to many different production processes. You even have a type of process piping right inside your home; the plumbing! However there are many technical reasons that actually make the installation and regulation of process piping, and plumbing, very different. The codes and standards that apply to plumbing are very different from those that apply to process piping. Manufacturers generally have more leeway with the types of materials they are allowed to use, while residential plumping has very strict codes on the types of materials that are acceptable. For industrial manufacturing there are thousands of different uses for piping, it all depends on the process, and what is required of the system that is being installed. The pipes used for a Biogas Digester are going to meet very different qualifications than the pipes being used in an industrial laundry. The project managers at Maintech have the experience of working in many different manufacturing environments, so they are familiar with examining the many different factors that accompany each unique process piping system. It’s important to take into account things like viscosity, erosion, and ease of cleaning before selecting the best materials to use for an industrial manufacturing project!
