Eclipse Gear Pumps For Chemical Dosing: Middlesex Water Company

Pulsafeeder’s Eclipse pumps have significantly improved chemical dosing at the Middlesex Water Company in Highland Park, New Jersey. The company previously relied on peristaltic pumps, which were eventually replaced due to the excessive pulsations they created in the discharge, leading to system disruptions and interfering with the disinfection process.

Before the Eclipse pumps were installed, the high-speed hose pumps caused system disturbances due to excessive pulsations. Additionally, the inconsistent and unpredictable lifespan of the hoses made maintenance costly, while hose breakage and leakage raised environmental and safety concerns.

The Eclipse pumps offer several key advantages, including linear flow characteristics and the ability to handle gaseous fluids without binding. Their leak-free design enhances the safety of operators and plant personnel. Furthermore, the pumps allow for predictable maintenance intervals by monitoring motor frequency in Hertz (Hz).
