SWISS ENGINEERED PUMPS SINCE 1947 14

 Challenges in chemical plants
In the chemical industry to promote media is particularly challenging. Temperatures and pressures,
abrasion and aggressive media, but also security aspects shape the specifications for the pump used.
Egger is since 1947 in this industrial sector operates, and its engineers have a lot of technical work
experience - especially in the chemical industry.

Sophisticated filter feed
Targeted requirement of feed pumps
In order to achieve an optimal filtration result, pumps must be used that
do not shave or grind the Filtrationsgut. Specifically, the chamber filter
press feeding is very demanding.

Good results thanks to our pumps

At the beginning of the filtration process, the filter cloth with a large volume and
low pressure to be fed to build a homogenous filter cake. At the same time the
pump at the end of the filtration cycle must realize high pressures at low flow
rates. Due to their hydraulic operating principle is our Turo ® Free-flow hydraulics
able to meet this challenge reliable and contribute to an optimal filtration result.

dominate reactor upheavals

Reaction between gas and liquid phase
Batch stirred reactors were in many processes replaced in recent years by loop
reactors with external heat exchanger. Apart from the enormous increase in
efficiency and continuous processes are possible. This is usually exothermic
process in which the chemical reaction between gas and liquid phase takes
place. partly to start the reaction using metal catalysts.

The pump for multiphase mixtures

Polymerizations, hydrogenations, ethoxylations, esterifications, fatty acids
and fatty alcohols or (P) of MMA are some methods in which the reactor
circulation pump of Egger is used. These reactive mixtures are mostly liquid
from the three phases, solid and gas. The gas phase may be up to 25 vol%.
Such multiphase mixtures circulates the reactor pump Egger HT / HPT at
temperatures of up to 280 ° C and pressures up to 100 bar to. Promoting
boiling liquids at low feeds is another strength of Egger reactor pump. NPSH R- Values
​below 1.0 m are possible.

Individual pump configuration

Egger adjusts the pumps individually to customer needs. These include
heating or cooling jackets on suction and sealing side, base plates with spring
elements for accommodating the thermal expansion or triple mechanical seals.
The pump unit corresponds to the basic version of the mechanical API 610,
latest edition.

 Sealing tasks in chemical pumps
Where encounter classic seals at borders
Latex, crumb rubber, paints, salt suspensions, SiC
slurry, tar oils, etc. are just some examples for
demanding sealing tasks. Here, the classic shaft
seals such as gland packing or mechanical seals
are pushed to their limits. Also hermetically sealed
pumps with magnetic coupling or canned motor
are for limited use.
Varioseal ® - a patent Egger guarantees
tightness
For such challenges Egger has the flexible
Wellenabdichtsystem Varioseal ® developed which
allows adaptation of various Wellenabdichtarten
without modification of the pump main parts. In
addition to classic stuffing box and mechanical
seal arrangements is also a hydrodynamic shaft
seal type Eurodyn ® in this Varioseal ® System
integrated. This 4-step cartridge design is
non-contacting, making it 100% dry run. Various
standstill seal variants ensure a long service life
even in intermittent operation.
For requirements in the border area
For heavy duty applications we use our enhanced
bearing block LB +, which increased by minimum
shaft deflections the life. This bearing block
mechanically meets the requirements of API
standards 610 in the final version.
Sealless pumps
The best shaft seal is the one that is not needed.
With their cantilever pumps Egger is making a
significant contribution to trouble-free operation.
This design works without shaft seal and without
bearing in the pumped liquid. thus it eliminates the
main causes of failure. At the same time, this pump
is virtually maintenance free and unlimited dry
running. The scope is huge and ranges from simple
cellar drainage to a challenging process pump to
400 ° C. Even gas-tight versions for TA-Luft
applications using dry-running double mechanical
seals are operating successfully.

Pit emptying slop pumps
Challenge of increased solids content and high temperatures

Shaft pumps, which are used in tank farms, waste water or slop pits, must
comply with specific requirements with increased solids content and at higher
temperatures.

Optimal uses for Egger shaft pumps

Because the shaft seal is installed directly behind the impeller, the radial
bearing does not come into contact with the medium. Various shaft seals
provide a wide spectrum of dry-running safe versions to gas-TA-air missions.
By the way: We build shaft pumps with up to ten meters long exposed waves.

Shaft pumps for hazardous areas

Use in explosive zones
appropriate technologies and expertise are in demand for the use of
slot-pumps in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Egger shaft pumps are designed for hazardous areas

This shaft pumps can be used in all hazardous areas. Egger has developed
specifically for the Ex zone 0 in conjunction with the PTB in Braunschweig a
protection concept, which allows its use in zone 0 to 150 ° C medium
temperature. Since 2000, Egger has a valid examination certificate and can
also draw on a long experience in the use of shaft pumps in the ExZone 0th

Schacht pumps for high temperatures

We know the challenges
Salt melts for heat transport, hardness salt, caustic soda, liquid sulfur or hot slop must be pumped at
temperatures between 150 and 450 ° C. This faltering in some liquids are conveyed in a rule of
non-pressurized tanks. The temperature, pour point, solids, corrosive attack or high vapor pressures
usually require seal-less shaft pumps with constructively matched details. A dry installed pump is not
recommended due to the problematic shaft seal and for reasons of operational security.

The high temperature series from Egger is the solution

For such applications Egger has developed a special series. Depending on the application, the
cantilever construction is (without storage and without shaft seal) or the high-temperature-shaft pump
is used. With stock media both variants can be tempered.

 large circulation quantities
Pipe-bend propeller pump RPP / RPG
For large circulation quantities at low heads thrust propellers are used. For more than 60 years Egger
pipe-bend propeller pumps are used with great success in crystallization plants. This pump has long
overlapping wing profiles, which enables a particularly gentle delivery with minimal recirculation. The
gap-free design with no storage in the area of ​the liquid has little possibility of attack for corrosion. As
required, these pumps can be manufactured in all available metallic materials. A hanging version without
foundation installation avoids the use of expansion joints. Various special applications as a heated variant,
process design or temperatures up to 260 ° C are in use.

Coal gasification and liquefaction

Special application based on the reactor pump-HT / HPT
These pumps have proven themselves in use as a washing cooler recirculation pump in coal gasification
and coal liquefaction. The FCC columns floor drain or recirculation pumps also fit into this typical range of
applications: In addition to high temperature and high pressure in such cases the problem factor to
dominate "abrasion". For optimum customer solution, it may be necessary to adjust the hydraulics and
materials or even the construction. Our engineering works out customized solutions in these cases.

pilot plants
Reactor pump-HT / HPT or pilot pump S
To validate new processes for commercial installations, these are first tested in pilot plants. Often, these
are only small flow rates
0.5 to 5 m³ / h, which can not be realized with a Egger reactor pump. To this end, Egger has developed the
pilot pump S that meets all requirements of the commercial process pump. 25 vol% gas fractions, 100 bar
system pressure and 280 ° C are the boundary conditions for which this series was designed.

peripheral applications
Sewer / slop tank farms, cooling water, waste water treatment plant

Thanks to the long experience in the chemical and other industries, but also by its broad standard
manufacturing program Egger is able to design reliable solutions even outside pure processes. To
empty pumping Egger pits to ten meters depth, the drainage from tank cups ensure pump or process
water clogging in central processing plants. Even abrasive river water for cooling water supply promote
Egger pumps reliable and durable.

The right material provides the solution

Customer- and application-specific material selection
Egger manufactures pumps in all castable metallic materials. The standard materials of cast iron, cast
stainless steel, duplex and chilled cast iron (hardness of 55-60 HRC) superimposed Egger in an
extensive cast stock. Special materials such as Hastelloy, Inconel, nickel, monel, titanium or zirconium
are available when needed.
