How to choose a pump when self-priming is required due to impurities?
Thread Content
I’m facing a problem at the moment: there’s a pump in the process that causes quite a few headaches. The medium in question is isopropanol containing particles; pipes are inserted from the top of an 10 M3 enamel tank to draw in the settled isopropanol. A pump with a flow rate of 510 M3 and a head of 20 M should be sufficient, but due to the presence of particles, self-priming capability is necessary. I’d appreciate some suggestions – could you recommend a type of pump? Thank you
Could using a self-priming pump work?

It’s related to process issues... There are impurities in the reaction mixture, so the selection of the pump becomes a consideration. If the goal is simply to remove isopropanol, that’s very simple... Moreover, particles in the system don’t exist alone; it’s recommended to install a filter before the pump to protect it.
