APPLICATION: |
|
| |
The Boulder, CO Roche Pharmaceutical manufacturing facility uses a
3" air operated double diaphragm pump to transfer Methylene Chloride from an
underground tank to various spots throughout the plant site. The diaphragm pump
is ideal for this application because it creates enough vacuum to lift the
Methylene Chloride 12' at an elevation of 5300' above sea level even when
outside temperature reaches 90-100°F.
PROBLEM:
The reciprocating action of the pump causes the discharge pipe and other
components in the system to vibrate and shift.
SOLUTION:
A BLACOH SENTRY IV pulsation
dampener was installed at the discharge of the pump. |
 |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
RESULT: |
|
| |
After the installation of the BLACOH
pulsation dampener, the surge generated by the pump has been eliminated, thus
reducing the vibration and need for extensive system maintenance. |
