Advanced Materials Facility
Industry Served: Consumer Products
Problem:
An advanced materials facility based in the Greater Toronto Area was hesitant to include dampeners in their operation as they hadn't had luck with them previously. Blacoh asked to see the installation. Upon further investigation, we discovered the customer had one uncharged dampener for two pumps (photo below), and it was located well outside the recommended 10 pipe diameter rule. This is a prime example of the importance of Size, Location, and Charge in regards to dampener installation.
Solution:
The customer added a second dampener and both were placed on the discharge of the pumps and charged to 80% of the system pressure.
Result:
The customer is now running, pulsation free, at an accurate dosing amount.
