Inorganic Chemicals
Specialized pump solutions for phosphates, nitrites, and inorganic chemical manufacturing
Inorganic Chemical Processing Solutions
Robust corrosion-resistant pump solutions for phosphates, nitrites, and inorganic chemical manufacturing processes.
Phosphates
Phosphates Industry Applications
In the phosphates industry, pumps are required in the struvite continuous reaction crystallization process and also for waste water treatment.
Gas-Liquid Jet Pumps
Gas-Liquid Jet pumps capable of mixed suspension and mixed product removal along with crystallizer pumped with compressed air generating ascending suspension flow in a mixing chamber is desirable.
pH Handling Requirements
Pumps should also be able to handle the influence of pH (8.5 – 10) for a considerable time (900 – 3600 s) that may be required for, mean residence of suspension in a crystallizer.
Phosphorus Recycling
This is necessary for phosphorus recycling and separation from magnesium ions in the suspension.
Nitrites
Cooling System Applications
Nitrites are often used in closed recirculating cooling systems for cooling of gas engines and compressors.
Dissolved Solids Challenge
High levels of nitrite also add to the dissolved solids content of the water. Water that makes it past the mechanical seal on a pump will evaporate and leave the dissolved solids behind. These accumulated dissolved solids can eventually abrade the mechanical seal away.
Corrosion Inhibition Properties
Nitrite is an anodic corrosion inhibitor for mild steel, cast iron, galvanized steel, aluminum, and tin.
Industry Requirements
Therefore in the Nitrite industry as well as in the industry for Closed hot and chilled water loops and glycol systems, you need to use pumps that can handle high amounts of nitrite.
