The magnetically driven, Magnatex MPT regenerative turbine vane pump has gained praise as a superior pump for the safe and efficient handling of liquid fluorocarbons at a DuPont monomer processing facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA. Initially, DuPont process engineer, Scot Kessler, experienced difficulty in finding a pump with the performance characteristics to successfully address the tough pumping challenges of his application. Specifications called for a pump capable of performing dual roles. Positioned under the pot of a distillation column, the pump had to be able to circulate the highly volatile liquid fluorocarbons, as well as function to off-load the final product without cavitation. The process also required a pump capable of reliable operation under 2 ft of static NPSH while accommodating changes in line pressures up to 100 psi (6.9 bar). Additionally, the pump had to be capable of generating flow rates of only 2 – 3 gpm.
Products & Services
Fluid transfer pump systems are used in processing, water purification and desalination, or liquid handling applications.
Axial flow pumps or propeller pumps allow fluid to enter the impeller axially. They discharge fluid nearly axially.
Industrial liquid handling pumps are classified in many different ways, and are distinguished by the media pumped and the fluid motive mechanism (dynamic or displacement).
Triplex pumps are positive displacement, reciprocating pumps that are configured with three plungers. Triplex pumps are the most commonly used pump configuration for drilling and well service operations.
Pump parts and accessories includes all manner of components and devices used in the construction of pumps.
