The better characteristics of chemical pumps should be: high quality, high reliability, and high environmental performance; While completing the task of transporting chemical media, it is also beneficial to the physical health of workers; Lower expected service life costs; It can be organically combined with the entire chemical equipment to form a whole. However, in the process of chemical production, various specific usage conditions and purposes have put forward different requirements for the manufacturing of chemical pumps.
The prominent feature of mechanical products used in the chemical industry is that their performance and requirements vary with the type and properties of the chemical medium being transported. Although the medium mentioned here sometimes refers to water, oil, or other non harmful substances; However, in most cases, chemical media refer to some very "scary" chemical raw materials; For example, some media with serious hazards (toxic, corrosive, and flammable media); Especially for media that are prone to chemical reactions, have corrosive or erosive effects, or solid or gas media containing the above components.
Changes in chemical composition and element ratios in multi-component chemical media can lead to changes in the properties of the media; Causing an increase in the concentration of chemical media or possessing special flow properties (such as diffusive media, polymer solutions, etc.). Therefore, there are often particularly strict quality requirements for the purity of chemical media (GMP, polymers, electrolytes, etc.), which can be easily achieved through appropriate chemical pumps. The diversity of chemical media has led to the diversity of requirements for chemical pumps. This makes it difficult for the chemical pump standard system to become a simple standard system. Compared to other fields such as household appliances, home heating, water supply, drainage, as well as chemical refining or automobile manufacturing, standardization has reached a considerable level not only in product production but also in product use. However, in chemical production enterprises, the standardization of chemical pumps has encountered obstacles in terms of technology and economy.
Let's talk about the direction of optimizing and improving chemical pumps below:
Firstly, standardization is very helpful and meaningful for the production and use of chemical pumps. However, from the perspective of high or low life cycle costs, what should be the most economical standardization? Is it a detailed long-term optimized standardized calculation based on various specific usage scenarios? Or is it a rough standardized calculation? When will the obstacle of standardized investment that can only be recovered over a longer period of time due to the adoption of new technologies and the development of new products end? How can we achieve a unified understanding of the standards for chemical pumps without harming the interests of either the chemical pump production plant or the chemical pump users? These questions can only be answered by strengthening dialogue between chemical pump users, industry associations, and chemical pump manufacturers. Possible solutions are: from the perspective of users, such as establishing long-term strategic partnerships with suppliers; Establish different standardization levels (such as structural types, suppliers, series, materials, configuration methods, etc. of chemical pumps) and integrated modular structures within clearly defined levels. But the most important issue is still the 'service life cost'.
The potential of the service life of chemical pumps has not been fully tapped. Why did this situation occur? Among many possible answers, one answer is universally affirmed: due to different requirements for the performance parameters of chemical pumps, the allowable service life and load capacity of chemical pumps vary.
The procurement cost, installation cost, energy consumption cost during operation, and maintenance cost of chemical pumps are relatively easy to calculate. However, estimating the maintenance cost of chemical pumps is relatively difficult to determine: because the failure and possible damage of chemical pumps cannot be determined by the pumps themselves, they are often constrained by the constantly changing chemical media being transported and special usage conditions. There are often significant limitations in estimating the maintenance cost of another chemical pump based on the experience of a certain chemical pump that has been mastered, and the estimated result can only be a rough and rough estimate.
