Rise and Fall

Given the time of year, the title “Rise and Fall” could easily be followed by a musing on the life cycle of a tree leaf, but I don’t want to write that any more than you’d want to read it. Instead, let’s apply that title to the ups and downs that you invariably face at your facilities, regardless of the season. Whether you’re looking to improve or expand the performance of your process systems and equipment, or find yourself having to replace them, Charles P. Crowley Company is always ready to assist and serve with  unmatched equipment and expertise to keep you coming out on top.  

Autumn’s Chatter takes in the sights of field equipment enclosures that always have you covered. Then we gather up the elements of a complete approach to fighting corrosion, before jumping into an ideal non-metallic gear pump for metering chemicals.

Time for this Chatter to drop …

The Cutting Edge

PURAFIL is the world leader in gas phase air filtration systems and engineered solutions that protect people, processes and environments. Purafil creates and provides advanced air purification solutions that elevate indoor air quality, enabling optimal performance of essential electronics and safeguarding people from harmful, odorous, and toxic gases. Purafil’s products are used in data centers, wastewater treatment facilities, pulp and paper mills, refineries and petrochemical plants.

Specific to fighting corrosion, Purafil’s products and services offer a complete approach, including:

Passive Monitoring
The CCC or Corrosion Classification Coupon reliably determines the type and thickness of corrosion build-up on the surface of each CCC. Coupon analysis is a service provided to customers as a resource for information on their environment.

Molecular Filtration Media
Designed for neutralization of chlorine, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, Purafil’s Puracarb® media is manufactured specifically for the corrosive environments and consists of generally spherical, porous pellets. Composed of carbon, alumina and other binders.

Active Monitoring
Track the level of corrosion before severe damage occurs, preventing costly downtime and maintenance repairs. Purafil’s OnGuard Smart features a room pressure sensor and measures the overall reactivity level of air contaminants, temperature, and humidity in a controlled environment. Wall installation takes only minutes and data is accessible anytime, anywhere.

Media Life Analysis
Provided as a complimentary service, Purafil’s lab analyzes media samples from your air scrubber to determine the remaining life. You can then schedule a replacement date to ensure the protected space is not exposed to gas breakthrough or that your media is replaced prematurely.

ISO 17025:2017 Lab Accreditation
Purafil’s lab is one of just a few with the ISO 17025:2017 lab accreditation, which ensures that processes and procedures exceed the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation’s (A2LA) high standards. 

Purafil was able to earn this prestigious certification (certificate number: 4971.01) by ensuring that their testing procedures, equipment and processes are best-in-class. This allows Purafil to provide you with more accurate test results and give you the peace of mind you’ve come to expect.

Top Three

PULSAFEEDER Eclipse non-metalic gear pumps continue to displace both diaphragm and peristatic pumps for metering chemicals. The fully non-metallic design makes the Eclipse compatible with a variety of chemicals, and it is a perfect choice when dosing sodium hypochlorite. Eclipse is also available in a variety of sizes to meet a wide range of chemical metering demands.

Here’s just three ways the Eclipse gear pump allows you to pump safer, operate smoother and service faster and less often than with traditional metering methods:

  • Better Performance – Smooth, pulseless flow means no pulsation dampeners and smaller piping – saving installation cost and complex start-up and service.

  • Safer Operation – The mag-drive sealless design means no leaks or chemical exposure for personnel and the environment.

  • No Surprises and Easy Maintenance – Predictable maintenance through monitoring flow rate and motor speed can provide advance notice of pump operating condition. Though many Eclipse pumps run for years before needing repair, their front pull-out design means you are up and running like new, in just minutes.
