Containment services

CSP offers a professional consultancy service to all our clients. Our containment specialist will help the client to define the design requirements and specifications. We will then develop a containment design to suit these requirements and provide the client with detailed drawings of the system. CSP provides full installation, commissioning and training services to the client after a containment system is purchased.

CSP offers industrial hygiene monitoring, which establishes whether facilities are working within occupational exposure guidelines. This testing follows SMEPAC best practice guidelines. We supply the full service in support of our own supplied systems, or as an independent service (FAT/SAT).

Flexible isolators

CSP's speciality is designing and retrofitting existing facilities with flexible isolators in order to enable clients to carry out their daily duties in a contained and safe manner. These flexible isolators fully contain the following operations: sampling, seeding, filter change outs, product charging, heel removals, seal cleaning, valve removals, etc.

Containment systems

CSP can supply containment rooms, airlocks or flexible curtains to aid segregation of equipment or plant. The containment rooms and airlocks can be designed either fully flexible or semi solid and semi flexible. These systems are custom designed to suit the client's requirements.

CSP can also supply fogging systems and showers to aid PPE degowning and the safe removal of flexible containment systems. The wall-mounted fog shower and stainless-steel walk-in shower aid PPE degowning by encapsulating the product onto the PPE. The fog cart is a mobile unit that can be used to aid in the removal of flexible containment systems.

CSP's drum sampling system consists of a flexible isolator sealed onto a drum and this enables the operator to access the product inside the drum to take a sample in a safe and contained manner.

CSP's vacuum wanding unit enables personnel to safely transfer powders into vessels. It is a fully contained system. Materials such as powders, pellets or granules are transferred via flexible pipe work to its end destination. Vacuum wanding provides a cost-effective flexible solution to the safe conveying of bulk materials across a broad range of industries.
