Fybroc 5500 Series Fiberglass (Glass Fiber Reinforced) Semi-Submersible Pumps were chosen for fluid transfer from the neutralization tank in the wastewater line at a power generation facility.
In neutralization processes, the pH value of the wastewater can constantly vary. The fluid entering the system may sometimes be highly acidic (pH< 2) while in some process flows it is highly basic (pH> 12) This is possible. Therefore, equipment selection is critically important in terms of chemical resistance.
Why Fiberglass (Glass Fiber Reinforced) Pumps?
Fybroc's unique resin-based glass fiber reinforced body design provides superior chemical resistance to both acid and base concentrations.
This material will be exposed to metal pumps:
- Pitting corrosion
- Stress corrosion
- Internal surface material loss
It offers a long service life by preventing problems such as these from occurring.
Application Features and Advantages
The semi-submersible pumps used in this project have a column length of 5 meters, and for stable and safe operation on this scale, the bearing and shaft guidance design is a critical requirement.
The Fybroc 5500 Series is for long shaft applications:
- Multi-point bearing support system
- Shaft stabilization
- Special flushing/washing and cooling channels ensure vibration-free and reliable operation.
Feature | Benefits Provided |
Fiberglass Body | Long-term resistance to acidic and basic environments. |
Bearing Design Suitable for 5 m Column Length | Stable operation, low vibration. |
Advanced Flushing System | Extended mattress lifespan and safe operation. |
Lower Corrosion Risk Compared to Metal Pumps | Extended maintenance intervals |
Immersion Structure | Efficient operation at sump/pool bottom levels. |
Result
In this neutralization tank application, the Fybroc 5500 series semi-submersible pump is used:
- The risk of corrosion has been eliminated.
- Maintenance and operating costs have been reduced.
- Process reliability has been improved.
- Uninterrupted and stable flow control was ensured.
For fluids with varying pH levels in the energy and process industries, glass fiber reinforced fiberglass pump solutions are one of the most durable and operationally efficient options.
