Progressive Cavity Pumps for Power Plant Chemical Feed

Controlled positive-displacement feed for polymers, treatment chemicals and viscous process additives used in power-generation water and wastewater systems.

Controlled Treatment-Chemical Feed

Repeatable delivery for viscous and difficult chemicals

Power plants use polymers and treatment chemicals in water conditioning, wastewater treatment and solids-management systems. Progressive cavity pumps can provide repeatable positive-displacement delivery for selected viscous or shear-sensitive fluids when the pump and drive are sized for the complete feed range.

PolymersSelected viscous and shear-sensitive solutions
Treatment chemicalsControlled water and wastewater addition
Variable speedFeed adjustment with process demand
PressurePositive displacement into process lines
Selection Framework

Define the entire feed envelope

Selection should include minimum and maximum flow, injection pressure, chemical concentration, viscosity, temperature and required control range. Wetted materials should be checked against the actual chemical formulation as well as cleaning or flushing fluids.

Feed rangeMinimum through maximum required flow
PressureInjection point and downstream resistance
ViscosityAt actual operating temperature
ControlVFD range and process signal
MaterialsElastomer, seal and metallurgy compatibility
ProtectionDry-run and overpressure safeguards
