mud pump pulsation dampener function brands

Mud Pump Pulsation Dampener is usually installed on the discharge line to reduce the fluctuation of pressure and displacement of the drilling mud pump.

Mud Pump Pulsation Dampener is a pneumatic device built into the outflow line of each UUD pump to dampen the pressure fluctuations resulting from the action of the pump. Although presented as a surge tank, this device is really a device that can be tuned to greatly diminish the output pulsations transmitted downstream from the mud pump. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of the pulsation dampener is a function of both output pump pressure and frequency of the pump pulsations.

Should you or your personnel have any questions regarding pulsation dampener maintenance, please don’t hesitate to ask. Sigma is more than happy to help you to ensure safe and proper care is being completed on your pulsation dampening equipment.

The EQUAFLUX 100 pulsation dampener is installed downstream of the pump to reduce pulsations and create a smooth and laminar flow. The casing can be manufactured in many materials, including; polypropylene, PVDF, PPS-V and stainless steel 316. The diaphragms come in PTFE as standard, the combinations of material options make this pulsation dampener suitable for use with a wide range of fluids.

A pulsation dampener works by creating an area of low pressure that absorbs the pulsations emitted by the pump. A diaphragm is fitted that has a cushion of compressed air, this flexes and absorbs the pulsations. The EQUAFLUX 100 is connected to the air line and fed with compressed air, the diaphragm and air work in conjunction and automatically adjust the pressure to minimise pulsations in the pipework.

The EQUAFLUX 100 pulsation dampener can be utilised for many fluids in the industrial and marine markets, including; fuels, oils, chemicals, acids, waste water, glues, resins, paints and inks. Applications for this pulsation dampener include; mechanical and metalworking industry, ceramic industry, petrochemical, waste water treatment, biofuels, marine (bilge, slop, sewage), mining, textile industry, automotive industry, paint industry, cosmetic industry, cleaning industry and ink and print industry

This pulsation dampener is Atex zone 2 as standard meaning it is suitable for operation in non safe potentially flammable environments. As an option, this can can come in an Atex zone 1 version if required.

Pulsation dampeners (also called pulsation dampers) are used for stabilizing the flow and the pressure in circuits with volumetric or dosing pumps. They are used in a wide range of applications.

In every pulsation dampener there is a separator element between the gas it is charged with and the liquid of the circuit; its basic function being to avoid the leaking of the gas into the circuit. This separator element is basically made of two kinds of materials: Rubber (NBR, EPDM, FPM, butyl, silicone, etc…) or a thermoplastic material (normally PTFE); although it can also be made in stainless steel.

When a rubber separator element is used, the dampener is called bladder type. If the material is PTFE, we refer to membrane type and bellows type dampeners, depending on the shape of the separator element.

Choosing between different types of dampener depends on characteristics of the circuit like working pressure, temperature and chemical compatibility between the liquid and the material of the separator.

All our pulsation dampenersare made according to the European PED97/23/CE pressure vessels regulations, and their design meets the AD-2000 and ASME VIII Div.1 & 8 codes requirements (“U” stamp pending).

We can supply all of our dampeners with different circuit connection gauges as well as fitted with whatever flange, either screwed on, welded or integrated, to suit the customer’s needs.

A Pulsation Dampener is an inline dampening device used to smooth out pulsations in a pump’s output. They are used alongside a pump as a mounted accessory to help achieve certain flow rates for an application.  They can be used with a variety of Positive Displacement Pumps which typically generate a pulsed flow (Diaphragm Pumps, Peristaltic Pumps, Dosing Pumps, Piston Pumps etc)

Pulsation Dampeners are required in some process applications when the customer needs smooth flow into the next phase of the production line, for example, to get an accurate reading through a flow meter or to fill a hopper consistently. On the flip side, Dampeners can be used to reduce water hammer effects through pipework. Water hammer is where the pump causes the pipes to vibrate and potentially fail, a smooth flow from a Pulsation Dampener reduces this.

For example, Diaphragm Pumps inherently produce a very turbulent discharge flow meaning that in some instances a Pulsation Dampeners are required to give a smooth pulse-free flow.

In the Tapflo UK range, we focus on Pulsation Dampeners for Diaphragm and Peristaltic Pumps, although we can also supply them for other pump technologies.

The Active Pulsation Dampener works by supplying an equal pressure to the pulsation supplied by the pump. The Dampener supplies this pressure during the low-pressure points of the pump’s operation, as the pressure drops between pump strokes creating a pulsating flow. The pressure supplied by the dampener decreases pressure variations, therefore producing a steady flow from your Diaphragm Pump. You can see the pressure drops and Pulsation Dampener benefits in action in the diagram below.

Tapflo supplied a 2” Air Operated Diaphragm Pump to a bleach factory, the customer used the T400 PTT for a couple of days and then called us to explain that the bleach line, running along the roof of his production facility, was shaking. Due to the nature of the product being pumped health and safety on site could not allow this to continue.

To support our Peristaltic Pump customers, Tapflo offers an in-line Pulsation Dampener for our PT and PTL Series’. They can reduce the pulsation of your PT Pump by as much as 90% to reduce the vibration and water hammer effects on pipework. Another benefit of this accessory is its ability to be installed on-site horizontally or vertically for flexible installation.
