Blue-White’s CHEM-FEED Skid System.
To do that, the plant selected Blue-White’s CHEM-FEED® Skid System equipped with two of the company’s Pro-Series® Flex-Pro® Model A3 peristaltic metering pumps. The skid system includes a calibration cylinder and Plast-O–Matic components (e.g., eight True Blue manual ball valves, two diaphragm check valves, a gauge with gauge guard, and a relief valve).
The peristaltic pump has proven to be superior to a diaphragm pump when injecting gaseous chemicals against moderate to low pressures. It maintains a smooth, constant flow rate while eliminating the potential for a vapor lock. Conversely, a diaphragm pump is adversely affected by offgassing, hence has the potential to lose prime. The degassing design of the peristaltic pump head, however, eliminates gas or air accumulation head; excess gas buildup is simply pumped through the tubing while the pump maintains a highly accurate and continuous flow.
The CHEM-FEED Skid System features a quality-engineered, compact, efficient design incorporating a high-quality, proven Flex-Pro peristaltic pump and Plast-O-Matic components that will maintain the integrity of the skid system’s performance. It encompasses a full chemical feed design, which is less expensive than purchasing the components separately, and the skid system is far easier and less time consuming to install, with no in-house engineering team needed.
