Ten Flex-Pro A3V pumps
installed for Chlorine injection.
Peristaltic pumps
cannot vapor-lock making them ideal for injecting bleach
and other fluids that have a tendency to off-gas.
Flex-Pro pump can handle continuous pressures up to 125
psig (8.6 bar). |

Same
ten chlorine pumps wired to a SCADA system, which
monitors pump output and alarm responses.
Out of the box, the Flex-Pro peristaltic pumps are ready
to communicate to virtually any SCADA system.
The Patented TFD (tube failure detection) can trigger
alarms and start back-up pumps. |
 |
|
|
More diaphragm pumps
are replaced with peristaltic pumps. This is mainly due
to the peristaltic pumps inability to vapor-lock. |
 |
|
|
Four more A3V's are in the process of
being installed elsewhere within the same facility. |
 |
|
|
In some areas of the
facility, the A-100N peristaltic pump was able to meet
the system requirements. |

Flex-Pro Peristaltic pump being used as the
primary fluoridation pump.
Peristaltic pump wins out over solenoid diaphragm pump in plant
operator's trial run in the fluoride room. |
 |
|
| The
fluoride pumps are wired via 4-20mA into the
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system
for monitoring and alarm responses. |
