What kind of pump is used for transporting ethylene oxide?
Thread Content
There is 5 kilograms of ethylene oxide in liquid form at pressure; it needs to be transported and metered. What type of pump should be used? Thank you!
Magnetic drive pumps are generally used, mainly to prevent leaks.
Both shielded pumps and magnetic pumps can be used to transport EO; for measurement, a mass flow meter (which offers high accuracy) can be considered!
May I ask what are the limitations on the ethylene oxide flow rate in the equipment?
I don’t quite understand why a pump is necessary to transport liquids, given that they have pressure For measurement, in addition to using flow meters, equipment that handles materials can also be equipped with measuring instruments such as weighing modules. Can’t it rely on its own 5-kilogram pressure? Unless it is for long-distance transportation, where the pipeline pressure drop is high and additional energy must be supplied by pumps to move the material.
It is possible to check the safe flow rate for transporting such substances through the pipeline.
