Eekels Pompen tests special fluid distribution system

A piping specialist is currently fabricating a distribution system that will be used to direct the flow of chemical liquids. The distribution system is part of a new plant being built for a petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia. The distribution system consists of an extensive pipe run.

Eekels has been asked to test the distribution system prior to approval. The test required Eekels to supply a pump system capable of overcoming the back pressure in a 40-metre system and achieving a flow of 800 m3/h. Eekels deployed its PP11 high-pressure pump set for this task together with 75 metres of certified composite hose. The water supply for the PP11 is provided by a 20 m3 water tank. The water will be pumped through the system and then returned to the water tank to set up a continuous flow of water. To activate the distribution system, Eekels supplied a 60 kVA generator sourced from our partner RECO.
