The chemical industry is full of corrosive and hazardous chemicals. Although these media play a key role in the relevant industries, they pose a serious challenge to pump equipment. The more corrosive the process fluid is, the greater the wear on mechanical parts, which in turn leads to more frequent maintenance, higher cost of ownership, and even potential safety hazards. Therefore, pump manufacturers must fully understand the specific characteristics of the fluids they handle to ensure that the right materials are selected for the pump. First, it should be clear what kind of fluid is being handled This question seems simple, but it is often overlooked in actual applications. Different fluids have very different corrosive properties (for example, the materials required to transport water are far less demanding than those required to transport hydrochloric acid).   Second, it is necessary to confirm whether the fluid contains solid particles As these particles will increase the corrosion rate.   Third, consider the concentration of the fluid This parameter has a significant impact on corrosiveness. Using hydrochloric acid as an example, 100% hydrochloric acid is less corrosive than 36% hydrochloric acid due to the higher reaction rate at the lower concentration.   The fourth and final critical factor is fluid temperature Temperature changes can significantly alter the reaction rates in the fluid, accelerating the corrosion process. Knowing these characteristics and accurately communicating them to the manufacturer helps users obtain a canned motor pump that is suitable for their specific conditions while avoiding unnecessary material investments. Table 1 lists three examples that cover the potential range of corrosivity.   Minimally corrosive Corrosive Highly corrosive Fluid Water Anhydrous hydrochloric acid Hydrochloric acid Temperature Normal temperature (75°F) Normal: -14°F, Operating: 100°F 200°F Concentration 100% 100% 36% Solid particles Contains Contains Contains Table 1: Examples of potential corrosive ranges   Once the above parameters are determined, the end user can provide the information to the pump manufacturer, who can then make key material selections. The selection of wet-end components is particularly critical. The so-called "wet-end" refers to those parts that are in direct contact with the process fluid. Some wet-end components corrode at a higher rate than others, which is related to the fluid flow rate they are subjected to (for example, the impeller, as the component that transmits rotational energy to the fluid, usually has a higher flow rate than parts such as bearings or rotors). Therefore, the selection of wet-end materials is the most complex and needs to be adjusted according to the actual corrosiveness of the process fluid. Another important decision that the pump manufacturer needs to make is the selection of "tank" material. The tank is the main pressure boundary component that contains the process fluid and must be strong enough to withstand the operating pressure while allowing the electromagnetic field to be transmitted from the stator to the rotor. The electromagnetic field is generated by the stator and drives the rotor to rotate, which is the basis for the operation of all induction motors. Therefore, nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy (also known as C-276 alloy) has become the first choice for tank material due to its excellent strength and corrosion resistance. Although this material is critical, since most canned motor pumps are made of this material, the material selection is relatively uniform and less restrictive. Now that we have identified the fluid information that the end user needs to provide and why it is necessary, we can analyze specific real-life application cases with the help of the three fluid situations in Table 1. The first example is water without solid particles at room temperature (75°F) This fluid is extremely non-corrosive and has a wide range of wet-end materials to choose from. The most common material for canned motor pumps is 304 stainless steel, which is an economical and durable metal material. Some manufacturers even recommend the use of plastic materials such as nitrile rubber or polypropylene. As mentioned earlier, the tank body is generally made of C-276 alloy, which is also the standard configuration of most canned motor pumps.   The second example is 100% anhydrous hydrochloric acid, which has a wide operating temperature range (-18°F~68°F) Although hydrochloric acid itself is highly corrosive, its overall corrosiveness is relatively low due to its extremely high concentration and low temperature. Therefore, the selection of 316 stainless steel can effectively deal with the corrosion risk under this condition. The most corrosive liquid mentioned in Table 1 is hydrochloric acid at a concentration of 37% at 200°F. This condition combines the two factors of high temperature and low concentration that aggravate corrosion, posing a great challenge to the material. For most alloys, high-temperature hydrochloric acid will not only accelerate the corrosion of the metal, but also further induce secondary corrosion of the metal by water. Under such extreme conditions, it is difficult to find a standard metal material that can meet the corrosion protection requirements. Therefore, manufacturers often choose special materials such as armor with excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, in order to protect the motor components, a clean water flushing circulation system is also used to prevent damage to the C-276 tank and bearing materials. Although such applications require higher material costs, they are necessary investments to ensure the long-term stable operation and safety of the pump. Material selection may seem complicated, but it is actually a key step in maximizing pump performance. For the end user, although the task seems simple, it is crucial. A deep understanding of your application requirements and full communication with the pump manufacturer are the first steps to a successful selection. If this step is not performed properly, resulting in distorted information about fluid properties, the design basis of the entire pump will be biased. As a pump manufacturer, it is necessary not only to fully understand the user's actual application environment, but also to clearly understand the interaction between these conditions and the existing materials. The key is to ensure that the selected materials can handle the most severe operating conditions while taking into account the economical design.

The path to a sustainable hydrogen economy is full of challenges To effectively protect the climate, we need to significantly reduce the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix and promote the further expansion of renewable energies. Hydrogen is seen as one of the most promising forms of renewable energy. If climate neutrality is the goal, it can significantly reduce carbon emissions, leaving the power sector far behind. In Germany alone, there will be hydrogen plants with a total installed capacity of up to 10 GW by 2030, and KSB is providing advanced solutions to achieve this goal.   We spare no effort in the development of hydrogen energy Hydrogen technology will play a key role in the future energy supply as it has many advantages. Firstly, "green" hydrogen produced using electrolysers is carbon neutral and relatively simple to produce. Electrolysis is the process of splitting water molecules (i.e. H2O) into hydrogen and oxygen at the cathode and anode using electricity (in this case from renewable sources such as wind, hydro or photovoltaics). The two gases are separated and processed for further use. Hydrogen produced in this way can be used for a wide range of applications, such as storing energy, producing climate-neutral fuels, powering vehicles or as a raw material for the steel and chemical industries. As a solution for compact containerized electrolysers: The flow rates here are around 10 m3/h.   Choosing the right pumps and valves is crucial in the transition to hydrogen. As an experienced manufacturer in the field of industrial and chemical processes, we have a broad product portfolio and extensive expertise in systems engineering, operating modes, materials and energy efficiency. We have the perfect product for every production technology for green hydrogen. Our solutions are compatible with all major green hydrogen production technologies – from alkaline electrolysis (AEL) and proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEM) technologies to future technologies such as anion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEM) or high-temperature electrolysis (HTEL). Of course, as a full-service supplier with comprehensive expertise, we also offer ideal solutions for the production of blue, grey or blue-green hydrogen. Whichever process wins out in the future and which production scale or type of electrolyser proves to be more efficient, KSB will be able to cope with it because its product portfolio covers all stages of the hydrogen value chain and different Power-to-X technologies (including the production, transportation, storage and use of hydrogen). In addition to our research activities and extensive funding projects, we also keep a close eye on emerging hydrogen business models and technologies. These initiatives are aimed at developing this technology for a greener future and driving the development of the hydrogen economy. We are committed to creating a greener future together with you.

What is a dry-installed pump? As the name suggests, a dry-installed pump means that the pump itself will not be directly immersed in the liquid, but will be installed on the outside of the pipe. In this way, the motor and key components of the pump are kept in a dry environment, avoiding direct contact between the liquid and these components. In other words, this pump is like a "dry worker" who is "away from the water source", which can be said to be a "smart" pump.   Benefits of dry-installed pumps Reduce the number of maintenance times Because dry-installed pumps are away from liquids, motors and other important components can avoid contact with corrosive liquids. After long-term use, the pump will also have less loss, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and extending its service life. Think about it, fewer repairs, not only save money, but also save time!   Safer For many working environments, the safety of the pump is crucial. The design of the dry-mounted pump ensures the safety of key parts such as the motor, prevents direct contact between water and electricity, reduces the risk of electrical failure, and is safer to use.   Easy to install Traditional pumps need to be installed in a pool, underground or inside a pipe, which means that the installation process can be very complicated and time-consuming. Dry-mounted pumps do not require such tedious steps and can be easily installed directly on the outside of the pipe, greatly reducing the difficulty and time of installation.    Energy-saving and efficient Dry-mounted pumps usually use high-efficiency motors and designs to provide efficient water flow at lower energy consumption. Not only can you save energy costs, but you can also achieve ideal work efficiency.    Choose Suou as your trusted supplier.
