A customer was no longer able to buy their chemical supply in bulk, causing them to use smaller totes. This created an issue in transporting the chemical throughout their facility, as the totes had to be stored in a location far from their previous bulk storage tanks and existing pump system. Anderson Process designed a […]
Chemical transports are one of the largest revenue streams for railroads in the United States. In 2019 close to 972 million tons of chemicals were shipped throughout the country due to their use in a diverse production of other goods. When transferring chemicals via rail car or tanker truck, the average capacity will be around […]
These three unique pump carts are used to dose precise small amounts of acids. The semi-automated, mobile units provide a highly efficient production output necessary for the chemical industry. These units feature a ¼” Wilden Accu-Flo AODD pump, ½” Wilden pulsation dampener, Polytrace B2 Batch controller, RTI filter regulator, Dixon ball valve, and spill containment […]
In a previous article ‘What Exactly Is a Positive Displacement Pump?’ we gave a high-level overview of different types of Positive Displacement Pumps. In this article, we will focus on Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps – how they work, advantages/disadvantages, and common applications in which they are used. As opposed to centrifugal pumps using impellers, the mechanical […]
Pictured below is a large skid we developed. The skid features a 10’’ BLACKMER® HXL10 vane pump coupled to a 161 HP diesel motor through a Nord Parallel shaft gear reducer. The gear shaft reducer was selected to handle the intense force and pressure applied, as the unit would be pumping fuel oil at 1650 […]
This uniquely orientated pump skid pictured below was designed to solve a couple of issues for a company transferring chemical solvents. Anderson Process mounted this Blackmer Pump on its side with a custom bracket built in-house, which allowed the pump suction to be at the top. This aided with its ability to drain as the […]
