Real Desalination Projects: Plan 32, Cyclone Separators and High-Pressure Pump Seals

The reference projects announced by EagleBurgmann show real-world sealing at some dissolving plants around the world.

A few examples.

• The Tuaspring plant has a capacity of 318,500 cubic meters of drinking water per day, described as the largest in Southeast Asia, using multiple Sulzer submersible pumps to extract seawater.
• The La Caleta plant in Tenerife, Spain, produces 10,000 cubic meters per day, meeting approximately 40% of the needs of the surrounding communities. Five Sulzer ZF-200 high-voltage booster pumps use the SHV line, with a chamber pressure of 55 bar and a speed of 1,679 runs per minute.
• The Sur factory in Oman uses multi-layer high-pressure pumps for reverse osmosis process, sealed with SHV2 resin.

Two remarkable auxiliary techniques

• Cartex-QN cartridges according to Plan 32 (external clean fluid level) for pumps working with impurities water.
• The cyclone separator in Plan 11 removes the sand from the fluid flow to the debris when the water has a lot of sand.

The lesson

Choosing the correct support scheme according to actual conditions (sand, pressure, speed) is just as important as choosing the pad itself.
