Your benefits

* Cost-effective pumping. The BG pump creates a stable

process that leads to improved operation of the equipment
upstream of the BG and improves the total output.
* Energy savings. The BG pump runs smoothly and with high
efciency when there is a gas problem. While other pumps
would not function or have a high energy consumption.
* Saving chemicals. Large savings can be realised by using a
BG pump, because the need for defoamers or other chemi-
cals can be signicantly reduced.
* Maintenance savings. BG is part of a Modular System allow-
ing for a reduced number of spare parts, simplied service
and shortened downtimes.

BG Degassing Centrifugal Pump
Applications
BG degassing pumps are used for pumping stock con-
sistencies up to 10% and other liquids with gas contents
up to 70%. Ideal for gas handling in the recycled fibre
process. Applications include foam from flotation cells
and pulper drum pumps.
Design
Where gas is causing an unstable flow in the process, BG
is used to create a steady reliable flow. The BG pump is
designed to separate gas from the pumped liquid.
The pumps are part of a Modular System, but with a
special patended impeller, a special casing cover and
a seal cartridge of a new design. The pump has all of
the advantages of a Sulzer namely rugged construction,
back-pull out design to simplify service and provide high
efficiency.
Vacuum system
The vacuum pump is a specially adapted liquid ring
pump in stainless steel, which is capable of handling
both water and fibres without damage. Normally, how-
ever, there are no fibres in the degassing system.
The vacuum system creates the necessary differential
pressure to make the BG-pump run smoothly.
Other vacuum sources than a vacuum pump might
also be used.
Functioning
All pumps are equipped with semi-open impellers. These
impellers have back vanes and special passages that
make it possible for the gas to escape behind the impel-
ler. The gas separated in the pump is transferred through
the seal cartridge and is then returned to the storage
tank, through the vacuum pump, via a pipe above the
level of the liquid.
