What kind of pump is used to transport bromine?
Thread Content
In a project I worked on recently, the raw material contained bromine. Previously, air compression was used for transportation, but currently, due to the high height at which the material needs to be transported, the pressure required using air compression is too high. Could anyone recommend a pump suitable for transporting bromine? Thank you so much! Bromine density: 3100 kg/m3
OP, where are you from? I might be able to help you
From Zhejiang. . . Recommend a suitable pump. .
Can’t electric diaphragm pumps be used?
If you lack experience, you can consult the pump manufacturer
PTFE magnetic pump: note that its density is relatively high, so the pump’s head pressure may be high
Is head related to the density of the medium? It’s probably just because the motor has a high power rating
We encourage more participation; old friends are welcome
Thank you for the correction; indeed, the head of such a pump is independent of density and depends only on shaft power. As the density of the material being transported increases, the pressure head at the pump outlet rises, and the motor power demands increase as well.
I’m not sure what the maximum conveying height is. If a pump is to be used, it is recommended to opt for an imported diaphragm pump, with the flow components made of PVDF material； The head of a pneumatic diaphragm pump can reach around 80 meters, which is sufficient to transport bromine to a height of approximately 25 meters. The storage and transfer equipment for bromine must have high quality; otherwise, their lifespan will be very short.
