What Is Liquid Chemical Management?
Liquid Chemical Management offers comprehensive solutions to help chemical companies maintain accuracy and minimise waste in their mixing process. Our OFTEC and CompEx-certified engineers will calibrate your flow meters to ensure accuracy and prevent errors in dosing, batching, and process control.
Liquid Chemical Management ensures that chemicals are:
- Measured accurately
- Stored securely
- Blended correctly
- Monitored for compliance
In chemical manufacturing, precision is critical. A small measurement error in dosing or batching can result in:
- Off-spec or “bad” batches
- Expensive material waste
- Production downtime
- Environmental risk
- Failed audits
- Financial losses
Our role is to protect your mixing process and liquid infrastructure from these risks.
Why Chemical Companies Have to Calibrate Their Flow Meters
Adding chemicals to mixing vessels to create formulated blends requires accuracy. Calibrating is essential in the chemical industry, as incorrect amounts of chemical delivered to the mixing vessel may result in a “bad batch” that is either thrown away or reworked, costing you time and money.
For example, if a Flow Meter delivers 10,000 litres of product to a mixing vessel and the Meter delivering the fuel has an error of +1%, the actual product delivered will be 10,100 litres. As a result, you are losing 100 litres, leading to product imbalance, waste, or rework.
A 1% error can cause:
- Incorrect chemical ratios
- Product rejection
- Lost raw materials
- Increased operational costs
The Benefits of Flow Meter Calibration
- Accuracy & Efficiency: Ensures accurate flow rate, so the exact amount of chemical is delivered to the mixing vessel.
- Compliance: Supports ISO standards and UKAS traceable calibration requirements for audits and certifications.
- Safety: Prevents situations caused by incorrect measurement of flammable, corrosive, or volatile liquids.

F&Qs
Q1. How often should chemical companies calibrate flow meters?
It is recommended that you calibrate your Flow Meter at least once a year. A meter used in harsh conditions or for continuous operation may require more frequent checks. For free advice on your Meter Calibration, a quote, or an engineer’s availability, please get in touch with a member of the BMS Group team on 01233 740149 or email sales@bms-ltd.com
Q2. Why is calibration important in chemical manufacturing?
Over time, your Flow Meter will start producing errors in delivering fuel. Adding incorrect amounts of chemicals results in a bad batch that should be discarded or reworked. Some chemicals can be very expensive, resulting in significant financial loss.
