Fatty acids synthesis and processing solutions for vegetable oil industry
Vegetable Oil Industry Solutions
Comprehensive pump solutions for fatty acids synthesis and processing in the vegetable oil industry.
Fatty Acids
Fatty Acids Synthesis & Processing
In fatty Acids synthesising and processing industry, pumps are used in mechanically moving contents between tanks.
Pump Selection Criteria
Centrifugal pumps or Positive displacement pumps such as gear pumps can be used but one should take care to install a strainer ahead of the pump when pumping out of a tank car or storage tank.
Material Considerations
However one must remember to select the right type of stainless steel as there is tendency of stainless steel to gall.
Pump Requirements for Fatty Acids Processing
Mechanical Seals Preferred
Pumps with mechanical seals are preferred for fatty acids processing applications to ensure reliable sealing and prevent contamination.
Strainer Installation
Install a strainer ahead of the pump when pumping out of a tank car or storage tank to protect the pump from debris and contaminants.
High Temperature Resistant Valves
Valves must be high temperature resistant to handle the elevated temperatures encountered in fatty acids processing operations.
Stainless Steel Selection
Select the right type of stainless steel as there is tendency of stainless steel to gall in fatty acids applications.
