Two stainless-steel Blueline Borger pumps with double-acting mechanical seals have been put into operation by a chemical company for conveying Tristyrylphenol.
Utilised to enhance the penetration and spread of the active ingredient in pesticide formulations, the Tristyrylphenol is transferred by the duo of Borger pumps from arriving tanker trucks to storage tanks.
Handling viscosities of 65 to 2.000 mPas, at temperatures ranging from 80 to 120°C, the rotational speed of the pumps (and their resulting flow-rate of 19 – 25 m³/h) benefit from a frequency converter for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
Both pumps, as well as pipelines, are all heated for the application, because Tristyrylphenol crystallizes when temperatures drop below 80°C.
