Pilot Plants are small scale chemical processing systems, which generate vital information to be, used in the design of full-scale process and production facilities. Not only do Pilot Plants reduce the financial risk associated with building larger facilities, but they also test process feasibility and accommodate process refinement.  

Fluid Metering's valveless, ceramic pumps have proven to be ideal for pilot plant fluid control.  The sapphire-hard internal components of Fluid Metering pumps eliminate accuracy drift typical of pumping systems that rely on elastomers, (flexible tubing and diaphragms), to move fluid through the pump. Fluid Metering pumps' unique valveless rotating and reciprocation piston design also eliminates the need for check valves, which can clog, leak or fail over time. The result is a valveless, ceramic metering pump, which will maintain drift-free accuracy better than 1% for millions of cycles.  

In addition, Pilot Plant operations require the ability to easily change process parameters including flow rate. Fluid Metering pumps easily accommodate that requirement as flow rates can be controlled either mechanically and/or electronically via standard industrial control protocols.

For over 50 years Fluid Metering pumps have been used in pilot plant operations for chemical, pharmaceutical, mining, fuel cell & alternative energy, water treatment, filtration, environmental monitoring, food processing and much more.
