Der er af og til problemer med, at kemien skummer meget i tankbilen inden aflæsning og i opbevaringstankene efter aflæsning.
En tankbil rummer 19.000 -35.000 kg kemi.
The question may seem a bit silly but is not. The road tankers are not carrying chemicals but raw materials for the brewing industry so translation as "chemicals" seems to be out of the question. Any ideas?

if you don't want to use "chemicals" - I suggest use of "mixture" as there are several chemicals involved.

Or maybe "mixture"? I agree with you that the source term seem strange in this context.

That should of course read "... the source term SEEMS strange..."!
