It is alkaline and the medium contains metal slag; what kind of pump is suitable?
Thread Content
The material to be transported is alkaline (pH=9) and contains metal slag; what type of pump is suitable for transporting such material? The required parameters are a flow rate of 5 tons and a head of 73 meters
First, use a filter to remove the metal slag; otherwise, it will clog the valves and block the pipelines
As mentioned above, add a filter and then use a fluoroplastic acid- and alkali-resistant centrifugal pump
If impurities are necessary, alloy pumps should work fine, as they can ensure wear resistance.
There are specialized wear-resistant pumps; sometimes a solid phase is necessary for the process, and it may also have a very high hardness
What is the outlet pressure of the pump? Piston diaphragm pumps are suitable for various acidic, alkaline, medium containing solid particles, and viscous fluids.
If the metal slag is not removed, the fluorinated lining will not last long; try an alloy slurry pump.
If metal particles must be discharged, it is recommended to consider alloy slurry pumps.
A ceramic pump can be chosen; the catalyst contains metal powder, and in some processes a ceramic pump is used. According to those on site, metal pumps can work, but they wear out rapidly, so ceramic pumps have been used ever since. This also depends on the particle size and concentration
