Accuracy And Reliability With A High Solid Content Slurry

Burnett Lime Co. Inc. is an industry leader in pH control process technology, reinventing water treatment and industrial processes through a range of patented innovations. They use a lime slurry to control pH which presents a challenge that is common to many operations who rely on pumping slurries. High solids content can plug orifices and collect in critical areas, such as near the moving diaphragm. A buildup around a diaphragm can cause a pinch point, which would ultimately lead to a diaphragm failure, leading to an outage and maintenance. Solids can also prevent check valves from fully seating which will cause irregular and inaccurate flowrates.
