Who has a suitable vertical pump for transporting urea?
Thread Content
In existing practical projects, it is necessary to transport urea (with a concentration of 50%, a temperature of 50°C, and a specific gravity of 1.1578), at a flow rate of Q=0.2 m3/h and a head of H=100 m. The problem is that the customer requires a vertical centrifugal pump, yet this flow rate is too low. After communicating with the client, it was decided that a deviation could be made (by recommending a suitable pump on our own). I would like to ask which pump manufacturer offers suitable pumps (with good cost-performance)? I’m thinking that the material of this pump should be at least 304SS; the key point is that urea crystallizes at 40°C, so the pump needs to have insulation measures.
Urea should be at least grade 316L! With such low flow rates, a positive displacement pump should be considered!
For this parameter, choosing a mechanical diaphragm pump will work.
