Cat Pumps pressure regulators chosen for chemical industry application

In a recent application, an OEM in the chemical industry approached Cat Pumps to supply high-pressure regulators in both steel nickel plated (STNP) and 316 stainless steel (316 SS)

The customer explains: “The high-pressure liquid is being circulated via a dosing valve, back to a storage tank. When the dosing valve switches, it delivers to the reactor at up to 80 bar g. Having a back-pressure valve (or pressure-sustaining valve) allows us to keep 80 bar in the delivery line and transfer into the reactor immediately, rather than wait for the pressure to build up. Hence, we minimise possible waste.

"Because the flowrate is variable, we couldn’t use a restriction orifice. Other potential suppliers couldn’t supply equipment to deal with the high pressure, so Cat Pumps got the order as the 7022 & 704738 were two of the few which could deal with the flowrate and the elevated pressure.”
