Case Study (4)
DMAC (dimethyl acetamide) solvent recovery process in a chemical-process
Issues to solve
-
Need to increase resistance to sludge.
-
Switching outsourced maintenance to in-house maintenance.
BEFORE:
Sanwa Pump used
-
Canned motor pumps used.
-
Sludge causes troubles such as cracking of carbon bearings.
AFTER:
Sanwa Pump used
-
-
Stable operations without causing problems with bearings achieved.
-
Easy and thus in-house maintenance works achieved.
Testimonials
(converted in English)
-
Owing to durability of rear casing, the slurry resistance is high.
-
The wide gap between the rotor and the can causes the slurry resistance.
-
Compared to the canned pump, the thicker can makes safer at high temperatures and pressure.
-
Maintenance frequency is quite low.
-
Maintenance works do not require skilled work, so it can be done in-house.
-
The durability and wearability of SiC bearings are excellent, and monitoring is not required.
