Blacoh Fluid Control recently consulted with a decontamination facility that pumped acids through a series of 15deg spray nozzles to rinse radiation from contaminated metals.
The Spill-stop features a patented design which captures leaked product caused by a ruptured diaphragm and pneumatically shuts off the pump automatically! The Spill-stop may also be equipped to trigger a warning alarm for immediate response or to automatically turn on a standby pump, minimizing your down-time while effectively protecting your personnel from the hazards of airborne chemicals.
Its pneumatic design is also intrinsically safe, using compressed air rather than potentially dangerous, spark-producing electricity.
The Spill-stop can pay for itself in the first few minutes the pump continues to run after diaphragm failure.
For example: A pump running at 100 gallons per minute with product valued at $6 per gallon loses $600 of product each minute.
Do the math on your pumping application and decide if you can afford NOT to have the Spill-stop as part of your Fluid Control System.
