SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the need for a methanol medium pressure pump capable of handling temperatures around 140°F, flow rates of 1 to 2 gallons per minute (gpm), and pressures between 150 to 200 psi. Recommendations include exploring large peristaltic pumps and specific products such as those from URD USA and AEM's Universal Water-Alcohol Injection Kit. A datasheet from Eccentric Pumps is also referenced, which may meet the required specifications, although chemical compatibility needs to be verified.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of pump specifications including flow rate, pressure, and temperature.
- Familiarity with peristaltic pump technology and its applications.
- Knowledge of chemical compatibility for pump materials with methanol.
- Basic project management skills for sourcing and evaluating pump options.
NEXT STEPS
- Research large peristaltic pumps suitable for methanol applications.
- Investigate the chemical compatibility of materials used in pumps with methanol.
- Review the datasheet from Eccentric Pumps for detailed specifications.
- Explore alternative pump solutions that can handle dry running conditions.
USEFUL FOR
Engineers, project managers, and technicians involved in fluid handling systems, particularly those working with methanol or similar chemicals.
