Food Processing Facility, Cape Giraudeau, Missouri
Industrial Pump
|
|
Problem:
A 25 horsepower 3196 Gould pump was used on a hot water supply system in a
food supplement plant located in Cape Giraudeau, Missouri. Severe calcium
scale build-up caused a reduction in the hot water supply pressure. The pump
was pulled every 30-60 days to manually and chemically clean the deposits from
the impeller and casing to regain pump pressure.
|
|
Solution:
- One Electronic Descaling 2000 unit was installed on the pump intake.
- The pump was inspected at 30 and 60 day intervals to check for scale
build-up.
- There was no accumulation.
- The pump has operated continuously since installation.
