Special pump technology
new defined
he new rotary piston pump from Bungartz is different from
the previous ones, but still fits into the concept. Until now, the
company distinguished itself with its special pump technology in
centrifugal pumps. The newly developed piston pump is energyefficient
and designed to reduce emissions. At the same time, it is
low in pulsation and - like the
MPCV/MPCT/MPCH series
from Bungartz - hermetically
sealed. The simple design, in
which the torque of the outer
shaft is transmitted to the
pistons by magnets, makes
the pump almost wearfree.
It does not require any
maintenance.
The new rotary piston pump with
up to 1200 strokes per minute
The areas of application are numerous: from the pumping of
toxic, corrosive and viscous liquids to shear-sensitive and explosive
substances, the next stage of expansion is planned to make the
pump suitable for pumping pharmaceutical products with 100% CIP.
Pump technology brought to life again!
At ACHEMA 2022, the functional models of Bungartz pumps will
again be shown in action, e.g. the hermetic sealed pump MPCVAN
under boiling conditions and with gas loading fluids as well the rotary
piston pump HRK. We look forward to your visit in Hall 8, Stand
C1.

Intelligent signalling
device NIMU
Stop unnecessary downtime with noninvasive
signalling systems
he NIMU (Non-invasive monitoring
unit) is a reusable rupture disc signalling
system designed for rapid notification
of rupture disc activation even in the
harshest chemical environments. The signalling device is not in contact
with the process meaning it is not affected by challenging process
conditions or corrosive media.
The intrinsically safe NIMU is installed into a tapping within the
outlet of the rupture disc holder, completely isolated from the process
so it does not create any leak paths and is not damaged following
disc activation - critical for chemical customers where leak
paths cannot be tolerated.
With the traditional membrane type signalling devices, false
alarms were unfortunately common place, as the harsh operating
conditions could cause the device to activate even if the disc itself
had not opened. This false signalling would cause unnecessary
and costly process downtime. Unlike these traditional devices, the
NIMU is not negatively affected by the process.
With the NIMU additional replacement costs are eradicated - the
NIMU enhances overall dependability of rupture disc installations
while reducing long-term expenditure. Not only is the signalling device
fully reusable following disc functioning it is also reusable after routine
maintenance checks - a must to meet the demanding productivity requirements
within the chemical processing sector.

Short Path Evaporators - a
short way to a pure product
Importance of droplet separators and their
development at Buss-SMS-Canzler.
S
hort path evaporators are
used to separate thermal sensitive
mixtures. They operate in
a low absolute pressure down to
0.001 mbar. The evaporation temperature
decreases, and the mixture
can be separated safely.
A high evaporation rate reduces
the size and the costs of the apparatus.
However, very high vapour flow velocities arise, and the vapour
can entrain droplets and transport them to the condenser. Mixing of
concentrate droplets and condensate rolls back the thermal separation
at least partially which reduces the distillate purity.
Therefore, the droplet separator mounted on the rotor is of particular
importance. Its functionality is not visible, only its effect can be
detected by measuring the contamination of the distillate. The separator
design is often based on algebraic equations including appropriate
safety factors. This leads to expensive designs.
In contrast, Buss-SMS-Canzler uses computational fluid dynamics
to develop simple but efficient droplet separators. Separation rates
as well as pressure loss of different types have been predicted. The result
is a simple, cost-efficient, and well-performing droplet separator.

Sulzer Chemtech drives
sustainability at ACHEMA
Renewable, bio-based and circular
processing solutions under the spotlight at
leading chemical engineering fair
ulzer Chemtech, the leader in separation and mixing technologies,
will showcase its range of mass transfer solutions and engineering
services for sustainable manufacturing and circularity at
ACHEMA 2022 on Stand D48, Hall 4.0.
Highlights on Sulzer Chemtech's exhibition space will include
processing components and fully integrated plant solutions to incorporate
plant-based and polymeric waste in fuel, petrochemical
and other manufacturing industries to support profitable and efficient
greener practices.
The company will present its support for polylactic acid (PLA)
biopolymer production from renewable resources with licensed
technologies that are de facto standard in facilities worldwide.
Sulzer Chemtech's solutions for waste reduction and utilization
will also be on display, emphasizing how end-of-life polymers can
be upcycled to deliver new products, such as fuels, with virgin-like
properties.
Interactive hotspots on the physical stand will enable visitors to
look at these technologies via virtual reality (VR) applications. Here,
the products and are incorporated in full-scale photorealistic reproductions
of real-world processing and manufacturing facilities supported
by Sulzer Chemtech.
