What is a Chemical Storage and Dosing System?

A Chemical storage and dosing system Singapore refers to an integrated, skid-mounted or modular solution that combines:

Chemical storage tanks (HDPE, PP, SS316, etc.)

Precision metering pumps

Calibration cylinders

Piping networks with control valves

PLC/HMI for automation

Safety and leak containment features

In Singapore, these systems are essential for chemical feed operations in sectors like water treatment, semiconductors, food processing, and industrial cleaning.

Storage Tank Materials and Configurations

Depending on the type of chemical being handled, your Chemical storage and dosing system Singapore can be fitted with tanks made from:
