How can pipeline blockage be prevented when injecting lime milk through pipelines? Is there any good solution?
Injecting lime milk through pipes can easily lead to blockages in those pipes. The common methods to prevent such blockages are as follows: 1. Install filters: Adding filters to the pipes of the transfer pump can prevent large particles from entering the pipes, thus avoiding blockages. 2. Regularly clean the pipes: Periodically remove dirt and impurities from inside the pipes to prevent blockages that can occur as a result of neglecting to clean them over time. 3. Control the flow rate: Based on factors such as the pipeline’s capacity and the transmission distance, regulate the flow rate appropriately to prevent blockages caused by excessive flow. 4. Select the appropriate lime slurry: Choose a lime slurry with an appropriate particle size and good fluidity, and avoid using one that contains many particles, in order to reduce the risk of pipe blockages. .
Scaling in lime milk pipelines is mainly caused by the reaction between calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide, which leads to the formation of calcium carbonate, as well as calcium hydroxide crystals and particles. Currently, we are preparing to test our company’s microwave scale prevention and removal equipment on a lime milk pipeline; if successful, this will resolve the issue. (WeChat: TigerPeng2014)
Your lime slurry is probably too concentrated. We also dissolve lime in water, keep stirring it in the reaction tank, and then pump it to carry out the reaction; however, we prepare our mixture in a more dilute form, and so far we haven’t encountered any problems with clogging
