I need to find a high capacity (60-90 gpm) pneumatic pump that is able to pump 2.8 cP (fairly low viscosity) dirty water reliably. there's no need to worry about discharge pressure or suction head, because the level in the vessel provides plenty of head pressure.
I had a vendor propose a pneumatic pump that's completely fab-ed out of iron and requires very low maintenance, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. he no longer works there
this is for a pair of clarifier sludge recirculation pumps. Our current pumps use rubber diaphragms that are really rated for 24 gpm, which is way below the industrial standard for the amount of make up water we send off into our cooling tower. Ideally, we'll have a pair of progressive cavity pumps that basically never fail. but it's going to be such a pain in the *** to get electricity out into the cooling tower that the man hours proposed for the project can't be justified. (well actually it can $120k lump sum, which is small (imo) relative to the benefits, but the guy who gets to approve the project is too f***ing stupid to recognize the return something like this will have on our cooling system, and after 3 months of d*cking around with the funding, I'm tired of trying to push this through, so I'm just going to change the design)
