Diesel engine pump set keeps it quiet
With noise emissions now reduced to 55dB at 7m distance, the new redesigned Hidrostal 100mm self-priming, diesel engine pump set, affectionately known as Betsy, won't keep anyone awake.
To avoid any highway flooding and environmental contamination in the time of fire, Ciba required a pumping solution that could operate without electricity and could pump firewater back to the storage/treatment works.
Hidrostal pumps were selected because of their versatility and track record within the chemical industry.
The unique Hidrostal screw centrifugal impeller enables blockage and damage free handling of delicate crystals, viscous products, effluents and other materials.
The low shear design of the impeller allows pumping with minimum agitation and hence minimal emulsification so resolving the problem of pumping fire water and chemical mixtures.
The pumps are also available in a wide range of corrosion and abrasion resistant materials making them a successful formula for the chemical industry.
