Pump selection issue
Thread Content
Our plant has installed a fractionation unit; the operating pressure of Tower 1 is 2.1 MPa, and the feed material is liquefied gas. Please help with the selection of the appropriate equipment
Without flow rate, and with requirements for head, temperature and other parameters, how can I make a choice?
There are specialized pumps for transporting liquefied petroleum gas; please select one by calculating based on the process parameters.
If it’s just a matter of choosing the type of pump, a magnetic pump can be used, or a pump designed specifically for liquefied petroleum gas will also work just fine.
For liquefied gas pumps, it is better to use leak-free pumps such as shielded pumps or magnetic drive pumps, as they offer higher reliability. 1# qingshi
Due to the lack of selection data, it is not possible to determine the exact model of pump; however, based on practical experience and ease of maintenance, it is recommended to use a conventional centrifugal pump, along with an appropriate dry gas seal for the pump
Based on the requirements of one’s own factory, a magnetic pump with the appropriate flow rate and head can be selected
From now on, issues must be made clear; otherwise points will be deducted, and no rewards will be given. The original poster is saying that it’s not possible to select a pump.
