Key Applications
Food and beverage
In the food and beverage industry, including breweries, cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems use strong chemical agents to maintain hygiene standards. FUSEAL® is capable of handling the resulting corrosive waste, offering a dependable solution that helps producers maintain cleanliness, safety, and operational efficiency.
School, college and university laboratories
Science and education go hand-in-hand. During experiments, lessons and tests, laboratories need to safely discharge hazardous chemicals. With FUSEAL® the corrosive waste is securely drained away.
Hospitals and Healthcare
The health sector requires a vast array of chemicals to undertake tests and processes. FUSEAL® has been expertly designed to meet these needs.
Chemical process
In industrial settings where chemical reactions, mixing, and treatment are routine, FUSEAL® provides a reliable method for evacuating corrosive waste. Its resistance to aggressive substances makes it a preferred choice for chemical process plants, helping to ensure operational safety and system longevity.
Utilities and Water Treatment
Water treatment facilities must handle a variety of chemical by-products involved in processes such as pH adjustment, disinfection, and filtration. FUSEAL® supports the safe discharge of these substances, ensuring continued compliance with regulatory and environmental standards.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical manufacturing involves the frequent use of harsh chemicals, solvents, and cleaning agents in both production and research environments. FUSEAL® provides the high chemical resistance and reliability required to safely manage waste streams in these critical applications.
