Metering pumps meet the demands of transferring methanol
Metering pumps meet the demands of transferring methanol
Keywords: Milton Roy, Pumps
In today's industry, metering pumps are required to meet ever increasing performance objectives as demonstrated by applications such as high pressure injection of additives in oil production to the pumping of thick, high temperature, corrosive liquids and abrasives. Milton Roy's new Primeroyal pumps are quoted as one example of pumps which meet these high performance demands, as confirmed by a recent application on a methanol reforming hydrogen plant (Plate 5).
Plate 5 Pumps meet demands of transferring methanol
Axsia recently completed the supply of a hydrogen generation plant, based on methanol cracking, for Kvaerner Process Technology. The contract was to design and supply a modular hydrogen plant complete with a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) purification unit to be shipped to Taiwan. Included in the equipment on the plant were two Primeroyal hydraulically driven dosing pumps, supplied by Milton Roy UK.
The pumps, which benefit from automatic control With 37kW drive via an inverter, are stated to be capable of transferring 3,000 litres per hour at pressures to 56 bar. Primeroyal pumps can be supplied with diaphragm or plunger liquid ends, with or without stroke adjustment and in a choice of configurations, such as simplex or multiplex.
Their modular design is said to mean that a high degree of flexibility combined with easier upgrading and maintenance is obtainable.
They are available with numerous options such as: double diaphragm, diaphragm failure detection, double check valves, spring loaded valves, slurry configuration, food grade design, cooling/heating jacket and automated flow control.
