Fluid Handling

Chemical production involves taking raw materials and processing them into desired products. This requires moving the raw materials into a process, getting materials to pass through specific steps within an operation, transporting intermediate products between steps, and finally sending finished products to storage or packaging and byproducts and wastes for treatment or disposal.
