Process pipe-work manufactured by Norward has been produced using high grade materials suitable for applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets. However, the company’s experience and expertise in the supply of high-purity process, stainless steel pipe-work is now extended to other areas of production where cleanliness, hygiene and quality assurance could show positive commercial benefits. These new markets include: general process and chemical industries; high purity gases and industrial coatings; food, beverage, toiletries and fine chemicals production, together with water treatment plants. Other production applications using cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures could also benefit. Additional internal surface treatments also available include chemical passivation, chromium plating and electro-polishing. Full mechanical design, fabrication and installation of process pipe-work can also be provided by Norward, which can include the supply of associated vessels, pumps and custom built skid mounted equipment.
