Pulsation Dampening No Pulp Fiction
Blacoh Fluid Control was contacted by a major pulp & paper mill in the Northwest who used AODD unloading pumps.
Riverside, CA (PRWEB) October 27, 2004 -- The reciprocating action of these
air-operated pumps created violent pulsations that caused both pipe stress and
mounting fatigue. In fact, these pulsations often caused the pumps to be pulled
from their cement foundations. This created significant downtime, costly
foundation repair, environmental hazards, and a dangerous working environment.
To solve the problem, a Blacoh SENTRY IV Pulsation Dampener was
installed in the common discharge of the pumps to dampen these pulsations. Since
that time, pipe stress and mounting fatigue have been eliminated. Not only have
the pumps not been ripped from their cement foundations, but the mill has
experienced longer life from pump components such as diaphragms and ball
valves.
