Global Chem-feed Solutions Fabricates Custom Skid Mounted Chemical Dosing Systems for a Variety of Applications

Skid mounted systems typically include; dosing pumps, mix tanks, agitators and local control panels, complete with all piping and wiring. Applications for chemical dosing systems include: boiler chemicals, cooling water chemicals, process additives and water/waste treatment areas.
One of GCS's largest markets is Electrical Generation Stations due to the critical control of chemical additives. Automatic control can be offered based on many different parameters and project specific requirements. PID control, effluent monitoring, and batch analysis are some of the parameters that are considered when controlling the chemical feed process.
Complex PLC and Data Acquisition systems can be incorporated into GCS equipment to provide constant monitoring and automation of supplied equipment. PLC / HMI touch screens and continuous operational indicators can be provided to allow for operator interface and equipment modulation reacting to process changes.
Proposals are based on customer supplied specifications in order to address the specific needs of the client. Skids are engineered, fabricated, tested and documented to comply with applicable U.S. and International industry codes and standards. Safety considerations throughout our process are always a high priority.
Additional product information is available via GCS literature.
