Pipe Flushing Article
Pipe flushing is the process where pipework is flushed using a pump and a specific fluid to remove impurities, flush sludge or oil from extensive runs of pipework. Pipe flushing can also be performed on new pipework which has recently been installed to ensure contaminants are removed using freshwater and foam pigs or spherical cleaning balls which scrape the walls with foam removing any dirt or particles. Pipework can be in the form of open-loop or closed-loop systems and pumps can be specified to accommodate a number of scenarios including:
High pressure Pumps to push pigs through pipework and also reach all areas of the piping system
Pressure relief to ensure the system is not over-pressurized
Reversible pumps to remove blockages
Variable speed
Trolley mounted for versatility with cam couplings for quick connection to pipework
North Ridge Pumps supplies a comprehensive range of pumps for varying industrial applications - view pumps for pipe flushing here.
