Chemical processing facilities combine hazardous materials, regulatory requirements, and demanding operational environments that place exceptional demands on any partition system. ATEX zone requirements may mean that partition systems must be manufactured from anti-static, non-sparking materials. COSHH assessments will define the containment requirements for hazardous vapours and particulates. Fire and explosion risk assessments may require fire-compartmentalisation barriers to strict standards. And the corrosive or solvent-laden atmospheres in many chemical processing environments will attack materials that perform well elsewhere.
Mercia Industrial has supplied partition systems to chemical manufacturers, solvent processors, pharmaceutical API facilities, and industrial cleaning product manufacturers. We offer ATEX-compatible anti-static PVC systems, fire-rated partition panels meeting the standards required for chemical storage areas, and corrosion-resistant hardware for use in aggressive environments. All installations are carried out under documented permit-to-work systems and in compliance with site COSHH and ATEX management requirements.
Typical Applications in Chemical Processing
ATEX zone boundary partitions using anti-static PVC panels in solvent storage and dispensing areas
Fire-rated RapidFireWall compartmentalisation in chemical warehouses storing Class 3 flammable liquids
Corrosion-resistant PVC curtain systems in acid and alkali processing areas
Fume and vapour containment barriers around bulk liquid transfer and blending operations
Ventilated enclosure systems for hazardous process areas requiring local exhaust ventilation integration
