Abstract The chemical sector as a whole has been quick to recognise the clear advantages of dry vacuum pumps over traditional wet technologies, and dry vacuum pumps are now well established around the world as an efficient, reliable option. A new trend is now emerging: for vacuum to be seen as a ‘utility’. In response, dry vacuum technology is being developed by manufacturers to be available on demand in a ‘plug and pump’ system that requires minimum set‐up and maintenance. The most advanced chemical dry vacuum pumps, such as the new CXS pump from Edwards, deliver exceptional energy efficiency and performance, are cost‐effective to run, and are environmentally sound.
