Glycol Pumps

Operating Pressure: 100 to 2000 psi

Circulation Rate: 3 to 450 gph

What is a Glycol Pump?

A pump used for circulating glycol within a dehydration system. A pump used to circulate amine within a desulphurizer system.

Features
No auxiliary power required Eliminates need for level control and dump valve at absorber Low gas consumption Completely sealed system prevents glycol loss

Only two moving assemblies

Hydraulic cushioned check valves with removable seats of hardened stainless steel Circulation Rates: SC Series 8 - 200 gph PV Series 3 - 450 gph
