Decontamination Facility Spray Pulsation
Industry Served: Paint & Coating
Problem:
A decontamination facility pumped acids and water through a series of 15" spray nozzles to rinse radiation from contaminated metals. However, the pulsating action of their reciprocating pumps caused uneven spray into the rinse tanks, and the metals were not rinsed completely.
Solution:
A Blacoh SENTRY I pulsation dampener was installed at each pump discharge manifold to eliminate the surging flow of the pumps and ensure complete coverage and thorough cleaning.
Result:
The even flow ensures that the metal product is completely rinsed of radiation. Furthermore, both process time and the amount of acid required were reduced, which increased productivity and profit.
