Pumps for tanks cleaning

Suction and cleaning sludge wastewater.

Application: suction and cleaning of tanks containing aluminum processing sludge. In this company, aluminum semi-finished products are produced in three phases: starting from casting to obtaining billets, then many operations are carried out to obtain profiles of various shapes, and finally surface finishing steps are completed with anodization and painting of metal semi-finished product. These operations generate wastewater characterized by chemical aggressiveness and a charge of abrasive metal suspensions. The fluids are collected in tanks and the formation of sludge deriving from the heavy solid suspension precipitation to bottom of tank. 

peristaltic pumps for suction and cleaning tanks arising form processing waste

The tanks cleaning operations and the removal of wastewater are performed by submersible centrifugal pumps, but, as is often happens, the formation of thickeners creates large problems of blockage of submersible pumps making them inefficient. Normally an operator goes down into the tank in order to improve the sludge evacuation process through fluidification operations for the sediment homogenization.

This is big problem because during the emptying operations, the operator works immersed in the fluid mass at the same time as the electric pumps running. The potential risk for the operator is clearly evident (electric shock).

Safety and peristaltic pumps in tanks cleaning operations

It was proposed for the task solution , a self priming peristaltic pump hcp 40 complete with speed variator, due this, machine is perfectly adapted to variable viscosity of the sludge, The pump perform a very high suction capacity and completely isolates the operator from a potential electric shock. Insensitive to dry running, the peristaltic pump does not suffer damage resulting from the discontinuity of liquid inflow, moreover, the resistance to abrasion and chemical aggression is assured by the hose membrane perfectly compatible with the fluid. The absolute safety is guaranteed by the fact that the pump operates on the surface by introducing the only suction pipe moving it in the various points of tanks to obtain a perfect cleaning, as it would happen with a vacuum cleaner. No physical contact between mechanical or electrical parts of the pump with the pumped fluid prevents any risk.

Deep suction pumps.

Application purpose: deep suction of water inside oil and petroleum products tanks with peristaltic pump.

deep suction sef-priming peristaltic pumpThis company operates in the processing and trade of petroleum products, one of their main needs is the deep suction of water deposit inside accumulation tanks of heating oil an petroleum products. This is done as much for the main production installation, and as an additional service to customers tanks. Apart from the obvious fiscal and functional purposes  for which this practice is necessary, we come to the actual requirements that a pump must assure to perform this particular duty.

The main feature request is the deep suction capability, the machine should be able to operate easily with at least 8 meters height negative head, the pump has work with great effectiveness by generating minimum turbulence possible, to avoid stirring. The reversible in line capability is required, without the need to remove the pipes or other. The pump must be able to operate without any problems even in the presence of sedimented substances and any impurities. The commissioning and use should be extremely simplified, with easy maintenance and cleaning.

A last feature was requested by a customer, the pump carries out certainly a service rather light and occasional, but it is absolutely necessary that service should be granted with effectiveness and reliability with no any problem. The customer, made its considerations, chose a Hose Carrier HCP 25 peristaltic pump complete with mechanical speed variator and control panel.

The peristaltic pump entered into service has not disappointed the expectations developing a 9,5 meters vacuum allowing the deep suction without troubles of limpid or impure liquids, the variator allows to adjust speed to avoid turbulence, no damage in case of  dry running, full reversibility in line, put in service in few instants without problems. The peristaltic pump operates from the year 2012 no spares required till now.
