Sealing Pumps in Desalination Plants: Seawater and Brine Challenges

The increased demand for clean water increases the number of desalination plants. The thermal process evaporates and condensates seawater, while the reverse osmosis (RO) process uses high-pressure pumps. Both require a lot of pumps and reliable mechanical debris.

Why it is difficult to lock.

According to EagleBurgmann, the high salt content of seawater or dense salt water, chemicals in salt water and pressures up to about 60 bar set very high requirements for pumps and debris.The design and materials of debris thus determine the reliability and safety of the system.

Orientation of solution.

• Using standardized slurry lines, design modules to meet a wide range of pumps.
• Choose corrosion resistant materials of salt and chemicals.
• Available spare parts and technical support to shorten machine shutdown time.

What to Consider When Choosing a Drop

It is necessary to specify the type of pump (charge pump, high-pressure pump, salt water circulation pump), the pressure in the chamber, the content of sand and solid grains, as well as maintenance requirements.
