Hose pump helps fuel energy breakthrough

A Bredel 2100 is used for the shear sensitive transfer of algae used in an innovative fuel production process which offers the potential to transform America’s energy and petrochemical landscape.

The pump’s ability to handle variable flow regardless of pressure is combined with a robust design – regarded as essential in a dry desert area where it is 46˚C in summer with dirt circulating in winds that can exceed 50mph.

According to Sapphire, the decision to adopt the Bredel hose pump has been instrumental in helping the company make the leap from pilot plant to true farm pond commercial production.
