Task
Retrieve various additives used in the petroleum industry from drums and add them to the process in measured doses. Among other things, these additives are used to protect machine parts or to separate water from crude oil. The system is used in explosion-proof areas at temperatures up to 60 °C.
Requirements
- Use in hazardous areas (ATEX)
- Temperature-resistant up to 60 °C
- Suitable for low-viscosity media
- Safe drum emptying
Solution in Detail
The FP 424 Ex S (HT) and FP 425 Ex S (HT) drum pumps, equipped with the F 460 Ex (HT) commutator motor, deliver additives directly from drums. The HT ATEX pump is designed for use in explosion-protected areas and at elevated temperatures.
Result
Safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres up to 60 °C
Seal-less pumping reduces wear and maintenance requirements
Nearly complete emptying of barrels (up to 99.98%) minimizes residual quantities
A check valve prevents the fluid from flowing back into empty drums
Reduced disposal and cleaning costs thanks to optimal residual emptying
