Both Lime, or calcium carbonate, or caustic, referring to a family of hydroxide based alkalis, can be used, but lime is typical in this application due to its lower bulk chemical cost.<\/p>\n CHALLENGES<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Lime handling as a strong base, is not chemically difficult to handle, but Limes abrasive nature poses particular concern not only for pump materials but seal life. Both concerns are engineered out of the equation by the use of hard irons, in this case White Iron, a Eutectic Alloy with a hardness range of 400-460 HBN, and the use of Wilfley\u2019s unique Solid Lock seal system, which seals the pump on shutdown without allowing seal faces to contact while operating, and utilizing a unique expeller system to seal the pump while operating. Previously, the customer had used both diaphragm and peristaltic hose pumps, but had problems with 4 – 6 week diaphragm life and hose failures, as blockages were encountered which allowed pressure to build in the hoses.<\/em><\/p>\n THE SOLUTION<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n In 2014, Maintenance Supervisor installed a Wilfley Model 1\u201d Kpro for his 37% Lime Slurry operating at 8 GPM @ 58\u2019 TDH through a 1\u201d discharge line.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lime.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bbLime\u00bb
