Rotary Boquillas para lavado de tanques Improve Tank Rinsing at Wastewater Treatment Plant
 Teflon® Constructed Nozzles Cost Less and Weigh Less than Stainless Steel
In the wastewater treatment process, spray nozzles are used to rinse excess chlorine from the walls and bottom of concrete Vortex vessels. Efficient cleaning - with minimal maintenance time - is important in this process.
PROBLEM: This wastewater treatment plant was designing a new set of tanks for the plant. The design engineering firm originally specified rotating stainless steel Boquillas para lavado de tanques. Although stainless steel nozzles are corrosive-resistant, they are costlier and heavier than other materials of construction. Plus, if solids lodge into the bearings of a stainless steel tank washing nozzle, extensive maintenance and repair can be required.
SOLUTION: Spraying Systems Co. recommended to the engineering firm that the specifications be changed to allow for quoting the project using Rotary Boquillas para lavado de tanques constructed of Teflon fluoropolymer resin. Teflon is lightweight and provides excellent corrosion resistance. The nozzle's weight was important since 28 nozzles are mounted to a header near the top of the 30 foot (9 m) tank.
And, the Rotary Boquillas para lavado de tanques are self-lubricating (no bearings), another important advantage over traditional stainless steel Boquillas para lavado de tanques.
The Model 27500B Rotary Tank Washing Nozzle's 180° down spray pattern forces the water downward in a powerful rinsing action rinsing both the vessel walls and the stainless steel piping at the tank's bottom. The downward spray pattern eliminates any possibility of water spraying outside the top of the tank.
And finally, the Rotary Boquillas para lavado de tanques in Teflon cost approximately 35 percent less than stainless steel, a distinct advantage considering the company installed 28 nozzles on each of the six new tanks.
