Applications and Industry Solutions

The versatility of DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps extends across multiple emission-critical industries:

Power Generation

Implementation in coal-fired power plants handling limestone slurry transport at temperatures reaching 60°C. A recent installation at the Fujian Power Station demonstrated 23% reduction in auxiliary power consumption compared to previous generation pumps.

Chemical Processing

Acid gas scrubbing applications in petrochemical refineries where chloride concentrations exceed 50,000 ppm. The DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps employ specialized sealing solutions that prevent acid leakage in these critical applications.

Metal Smelting

Non-ferrous metal production facilities utilize these pumps for SO2 abatement systems. Material upgrades including tungsten carbide linings extend service life in highly abrasive copper smelting operations.

Waste Incineration

Municipal waste-to-energy plants benefit from the pumps' ability to handle variable slurry densities resulting from inconsistent waste composition. The hydraulic design maintains stable flow rates despite density fluctuations.

"Advanced desulfurization pump technology now represents 40% of lifecycle cost savings in modern FGD systems. The adoption of high-efficiency models like the DT series can reduce auxiliary power consumption by 15-25% compared to conventional designs."

Technical FAQ: DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps

What materials are recommended for different pH levels in FGD service?

For highly acidic environments (pH 2-4), super duplex stainless steel (ASTM A890 5A) provides optimal corrosion resistance. In moderate conditions (pH 4-6), standard duplex steels offer cost-effective performance. Our technical team provides material selection guides based on chemical analysis.

What sealing solutions are available for abrasive slurries?

Three configurations are recommended: (1) Double mechanical seals with flush plan 54 using clean buffer fluid, (2) Expeller-type sealless designs for extreme conditions, or (3) Packed stuffing boxes with flush quench. Seal face combinations typically use silicon carbide vs carbon for optimal wear characteristics.

What are the maintenance intervals for DT series pumps?

Typical maintenance schedule includes: Quarterly vibration analysis, annual mechanical seal inspection, bi-annual bearing replacement, and 5-year complete overhaul. Actual intervals depend on slurry abrasiveness with mean time between repairs of 12,000-18,000 hours.

How does impeller geometry affect pump performance in FGD applications?

Our closed-vane impeller design reduces recirculation by 38% compared to open impellers. The backward-curved blades (34° outlet angle) provide stable head curves essential for varying flow conditions. Impeller trim adjustment maintains efficiency as wear occurs.

What are the industry standards for FGD pump testing?

DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps are certified to ISO 5199 (heavy duty) standards. Performance testing follows ISO 9906 Grade 1B with hydraulic efficiency tolerance of -3%. Material certification includes ASTM E415 spectrographic analysis and ASTM E562 inclusion rating.

What instrumentation is required for condition monitoring?

Essential sensors include: Vibration transducers (API 670 compliance), bearing temperature RTDs, pressure transmitters for suction/discharge, and seal chamber monitoring. API 682 Plan 23 systems are recommended for advanced seal monitoring.

What are the installation requirements for vertical desulfurization pumps?

TL vertical models require minimum 400mm clearance below impeller for solids passage, foundation loading capacity ≥3x pump weight, discharge piping with spring supports to accommodate thermal expansion, and proper wet well design to avoid vortex formation.

Operational Economics

The implementation of DT Desulphurization FGD Pumps generates significant operational savings:

  • 27-35% reduction in energy consumption compared to standard models
  • Maintenance cost reductions averaging 18-22%
  • Extended service intervals reducing production downtime
  • Enhanced process stability minimizing reagent consumption

A case study at Zhejiang Power Station documented $280,000 annual savings per pump unit through efficiency improvements and reduced maintenance requirements. Payback periods for upgrading to DT series pumps typically range from 18-28 months depending on operating hours and electricity costs.

"Lifecycle cost analysis of desulfurization pumps reveals that energy consumption accounts for 65-80% of total operating cost. Efficiency improvements of 5-8 percentage points can generate 6-figure annual savings in large power generation applications."
