PFAS are a group of over 14,000 synthetic chemicals that contain a chain of carbon and fluorine atoms, which is one of the strongest bonds in organic chemistry. Their reduction of friction, and resistance to stains, water, and heat, means they are commonly used in the manufacture of both industrial and consumer goods, including shampoo, food packaging, and non-stick cookware.

In the first year alone, Yorkshire Water is investing £89m to replace 238km or 147 miles (equivalent to a return journey from Leeds to Hull) of water mains with durable, flexible plastic pipes. The second year of the programme will see 211km of mains replaced throughout Yorkshire. The new replacement mains are built to withstand high pressure and temperature variations resulting in fewer bursts, lower leakage and a reduction in water supply disruptions to customers.

Utilised to enhance the penetration and spread of the active ingredient in pesticide formulations, the Tristyrylphenol is transferred by the duo of Borger pumps from arriving tanker trucks to storage tanks. Handling viscosities of 65 to 2.000 mPas, at temperatures ranging from 80 to 120°C, the rotational speed of the pumps (and their resulting flow-rate of 19 – 25 m³/h) benefit from a frequency converter for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
