Odor removal in water ring vacuum pumps
Thread Content
Since mechanical seals all have a certain level of leakage, there is a strong unpleasant odor in the vacuum pump area. We utilize the principle of vacuum extraction to separate substances such as naphthalene, resin materials, heavy oil, and methyl naphthalene products. So there is a strong unpleasant odor in the vacuum pump area. Do any colleagues have any experience in dealing with this odor in such areas?
For mechanical seal leakage, considering changing the seal model or adding a blocking liquid or gas is an option. The exhaust piping of the unit also needs to be checked for leaks, in order to contain the working fluid and the exhaust gases. Improve ventilation.
The main thing to consider is where the drainage goes, and where the main odors originate. Treatment method: Collect and separate wastewater, carry out stripping, and burn off-gases in a sealed manner!
If it’s a sealing issue, fix it first! Processes cannot replace equipment
There is a seal leak and an unusual odor; that shouldn’t be the case. What type of vacuum pump is it?
We can solve this problem!
The machine seal leakage issue must be resolved first. Next, address the issue of high temperature of the working fluid in the water ring pump.
When using liquid ring pumps, unpleasant odors often occur (as the medium has an odor). A better approach nowadays is to use dry pumps, which offer higher efficiency and are more environmentally friendly. The original poster can look for relevant information online
