Introduction

Handling flammable liquids requires stringent safety measures, particularly in industries relying on precision fluid handling systems like dosing pumps. Dosing pumps are integral in maintaining the safe and efficient movement of flammable liquids, minimizing risks related to leaks, spills, or explosions.

Safe Handling of Flammable Liquids

Flammable liquids must be handled with care due to their volatile nature. Several guidelines and safety precautions are mandated, ensuring that the handling equipment is designed to prevent accidents. This includes using materials that resist corrosion and sparking, implementing proper ventilation, and ensuring the integrity of seals and connections.

Mechanisms of Dosing Pumps for Safe Handling

Dosing pumps use various mechanisms to safely manage flammable liquids. Key components include:

• Explosion-proof Motors: Designed to contain any potential explosion within the pump.
• Seal-less Designs: Magnetic drive pumps avoid the use of seals that could leak.
• Pressure Relief Valves: Prevents overpressure which can lead to failures.
• Automatic Shut-off: Sensors and controls automatically shut down the pump in case of detected anomalies.

Depamu Company Solutions

Depamu offers several solutions tailored for safe handling of flammable liquids:

• DM Series: Using corrosion-resistant materials and built-in safety features for high-risk liquids.
• Advanced Monitoring Systems: Integrated solutions for real-time monitoring and control.
• Compliance with ATEX and IECEx standards, ensuring full adherence to international safety regulations.

Parameters and Numerical Analysis

The safety and efficacy of dosing pumps handling flammable liquids can be quantified by analyzing specific parameters:

• Flow Rate: Carefully controlled to prevent rapid discharge, typically maintained within 0.1% accuracy.
• Operating Pressure: Typically maintained below 100 psi to reduce the risk of leaks.
• Temperature Control: Pumps are equipped with sensors to maintain temperatures within a 5% range of desired settings.
• Conductivity: Ensures proper grounding and dissipation of static electricity, monitored to be below 10^6 ohms.
