Per the PIA website, “Entries in all categories were judged on their on their relative merits, and through discussion, deliberation and a simple scoring system, the top entries within each category have become the finalists for the awards evening”, which will take place on March 22nd at the St Johns Hotel in Solihull, UK.

CheckPoint Pumps & Systems understands there is no one-size-fits-all chemical injection system. So when Chesapeake Midstream sought out a solar solution for their application, CheckPoint’s Engineered Solutions team made sure a system was designed to meet their operational specifications.

There are a few more details to be added to this system before it is ready for shipment, but the major highlights include two CheckPoint FXA Series electric pumps and nine solar panels. As part of the company’s Year End Sales Week, CheckPoint sales managers from all regional and international locations came to headquarters, and stopped by this attention-grabber before making their way into a meeting.
