Industrial solutions for the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors
Complete equipment and engineering for the handling of corrosive fluids, the control of gaseous emissions and the storage of aggressive chemical products in chemical, fine chemistry, petrochemical and pharmaceutical plants.
The chemical industry demands the highest reliability
Chemical and pharmaceutical plants operate with some of the most aggressive substances on the planet. Equipment failure is not an option.
Challenges we solve every day
The chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries face unique engineering challenges that require specialised equipment, designed to withstand extreme corrosion, high temperatures and strict regulatory requirements. TECNIUM has been developing tailored solutions for these challenges since 1957.
- Pumping of highly corrosive acids, alkalis and solvents at various concentrations and temperatures
- Safe storage of aggressive chemical products in accordance with APQ, ASME and EN regulations
- Control of toxic and corrosive gaseous emissions to meet environmental legislation
- Operation in ATEX-classified explosive atmospheres
- Process reliability with a zero-leakage requirement in pharmaceutical production
- Management of dosing and transfer systems for chemical reagents
Your trusted engineering partner
TECNIUM acts as a single supplier for chemical plants, offering an integrated solution that covers pumping, storage, gas treatment and odour control. This means fewer interfaces, simplified procurement and guaranteed compatibility between systems.
Our engineering department works closely with your process team from the initial design phases, providing sizing calculations, materials-compatibility assessments, P&ID integration and complete project documentation. We collaborate with leading engineering firms worldwide, with references alongside major EPCs and large chemical companies.
Complete equipment portfolio for chemical plants
From pumping and storage through to gas treatment and ventilation, TECNIUM provides all the equipment your chemical or pharmaceutical facility requires.
Plastic pumps for chemical processes
Horizontal and vertical centrifugal pumps manufactured in PVDF, PP, E-CTFE and UHMW-PE for the pumping of HCl, H₂SO₄, NaOCl, NaOH, HNO₃, HF and hundreds of other aggressive chemicals. Flow rates up to 1,600 m³/h, with ATEX-certified options and seal-less magnetic-drive configurations for zero-leakage pharmaceutical applications.
