Pulsafeeder Introduces New Products

Global demand for essential products like water, gas and oil is growing, which means that pipelines and processing plants such as pressure vessels are getting bigger. To ensure continuity of supply and minimise downtime, maintenance teams need to gain safe and rapid access to critical plants that require servicing or repair.

CIRCOR announces its Zenith C9000 Series precision metering gear pump, ideal for use in hydrogen fuel cell MEA gasketing sealants and adhesive applications. Zenith C9000 metering pumps deliver accurate and repeatable flow of metering additives, sealants, or chemicals in a compact and efficient design.

Microencapsulation is becoming increasingly important in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and agricultural industries. New dosage forms are emerging, the efficacy and tolerability of active substances is increasing, and the range of applications for approved substances is growing. Precise metering techniques in the low-volume range are a necessary prerequisite for the production and processing of APIs. Metering pumps by HNP Mikrosysteme are a suitable technical solution.

For several years, a pump at the largest production site in Kingsport, Tennessee, USA had been causing the US chemical company Eastman problems: it was operating on a process with water at high temperature and low pressure, generating the entrainment of more than 10% gas by volume in the form of water vapor. This often caused the pumps used to fail.

Water hammer is a pressure wave that occurs when liquid flows through a pipe and there is a sudden change in the liquid velocity.
