CASE STUDY #7
Initial situation
This petrochemical plant in Argentina, needs sulfuric acid for its process. They were using mechanically sealed pumps and they were suffering of pollution due to mechanical seal “sweat” . This meant personal danger as well as plant damages. They had to to put an extra tray below the pumps to recover the sulfuric salts.
M Pumps solution
The customer called our distributor in Argentina, DROTEC, and explained the situation. This is an ideal application for our magnetic drive sealless range. It solves all the issues the customer was having. It is seal less so avoids all the existing problems they were currently having. No more spillages , no more salts, no more pollution, no extra tray required. Even with our close coupled version space is saved.
