Recommended by several chemical companies, there is no doubt that GoatThroat® Pumps improve reliability and safety in a public water supply environment. Users all agree that spill prevention beats clean up with solvents, acids, and other corrosives. With the cost of chemicals, many facilities use GT Pumps because they are safe for contact with over 1700 chemicals and meet exacting requirements. The sealed system is essential in such environments because it reduces vapors and emissions and allows for complete control over the volume of liquids dispensed. The SCP Line of Pumps which are made of static conductive plastic allows these pumps to be used with flammable liquids meeting both NFPA 77 and NFPA 30 requirements. All non-SCP pumps are made from Food Grade materials making them safe for food contact. GoatThroat Pumps’ unique technology help companies reduce hazmat incidents and save money at their facilities by preventing costly chemical spills and the associated cost of reporting and downtime. The systems mitigate worker compensation claims by preventing workers exposure to hazardous chemicals and by eliminating repetitive motion and other injuries.

Laboratory Testing Case Studies
Open Use Storage in a Laboratory Testing Setting GoatThroat Pumps Allow Biopharmaceutical Company to Comply with Open Use Restrictions When a North Carolina biopharmaceutical company?s productivity was limited by the state fire code?s ?Open Use? restrictions, the company?s Environmental Safety Department found itself facing chemical storage challenges at a new level. Engaged in the design, discovery and development of NNR Therapeuticas, a new class of drugs for the treatment of multiple diseases and disorders of the central nervous system, the biopharmaceutical company used chemicals and solvents such as ether, methylene chloride, chloroform, hexane, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, methanol and toluene in its process. The company?s productivity problem stemmed from fire codes specifying that five-gallon containers of these types of fluids had to be stored on the first floor of their facility, when actually the solvents were needed in the lab on the fourth floor. Safety is Compromised The complicated logistics...
No More Tipping and Tapping
Pesticide dispensing solution finds multiple applications at water and wastewater facility Killing weeds isn't one of the primary responsibilities of a water and wastewater management facility, but it does require some care to do the job well and in compliance with California's Title 3 Pesticide Regulations. The San Joaquin, Calif., water and wastewater management facility is located on 100 acres. It serves 1.5 million people, processing 1.5 gallons per day per person. Its wastewater treatment plant sits on 20 acres, where weeds grow along the perimeter. To keep growth at bay, staff members frequently applied Roundup®. The plant manager purchased the chemical in large drums and installed regular hand pumps to transfer the liquid into dispensing sprayers. This process was difficult and messy for employees and wasted chemical due to spillage. Within a few uses, the chemicals corroded the transfer pumps, which then had to be discarded into the landfill...
Safe Chlorine handling for Iowa Water Supply
Safe Chemical Handling for Public Water Supply More than 2.5 million people in Iowa are served by public water supplies. According to the annual DNR compliance report, the 2,000 regulated water public supplies, have seen significant improvement in compliance with new rules which require systems to measure the byproducts of the disinfection process. The byproducts can have an effect on public health especially pregnant women, the elderly, children and people with a weakened immune system. These rules were put in place as part of new federal regulations which created more requirements or water system operators and state oversight staff. ?Overall, the public water supplies in Iowa are serving safe water,? according to Dennis Alt, supervisor of the DNR?s water supply engineering section which monitors sampling and report of public water systems. ?The drinking water industry is very complicated with many requirements. Iowa is fortunate to have dedicated, qualified water treatment...
