Many
industrial plants, factories, and research centers use chemicals in their
operations and need systems that can handle and distribute them safely and
effectively. Chemical delivery systems need to store chemicals,
delivery them to the point of use and also provide control for safe disposal.
Depending on the specific application, they may also require features such as
chemical mixing and a certain degree of automation.
A
chemical delivery system must be reliable, accurate, efficient, safe, reduce
chemical waste and provide process repeatability. By incorporating all these
factors, the design of a chemical delivery system will have a high degree of
customization with many system components and functions.
The volume of chemicals influences the design of the system. For spiking, delivering precise dosages is critical while for bulk chemical use receiving and storage are important. Depending on the volume, a system must be customized to accommodate the volume of required chemicals.
Controls are also customized depending on how chemicals are used. Mixing and blending several chemicals, as well as their level of toxicity and aggressiveness, require a certain amount of software control and a relatively complicated system. Since each chemical delivery system has unique requirements for functions such as mixing, acidity, etching capability and disposal, customized controls are required to achieve these tasks.

Facility
layout is another factor that influences the system's design. An ideal layout
should be a small storage container near the process where the chemical is
being used, although there are other systems wherein the chemical is stored
away from the process and pipes are used to dispose the used chemicals.
Whatever the case, the physical details of the system must be adjusted for the site
layout and site-specific operations.
