Selecting the best pump for CCS applications

Pumps play an important role in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and selecting the most effective pump is the key to achieving low operating costs, cut CO2 emissions, and limit the global temperature increase.

For nearly three decades, the UN has brought together almost every country on earth for global climate summits. The final text of the latest summit, the COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, includes a provision to boost low-emissions energy. In practice, this means that many different technologies must be used to help cut emissions – including Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS...

ROTAN® ED pumps ensure uninterrupted isocyanate handling in PU production

Thanks to their magnetic couplings, DESMI ROTAN® ED pumps do not seize up when handling isocyanate, helping your PU production run safely, effectively, and economically.

With a DESMI ROTAN® ED internal gear pump, you can avoid these issues and keep your polyurethane (PU) production running safely, effectively, and economically. The most important reason is that the pump is magnetically coupled, and the pump chamber completely sealed. This makes the pump completely tight, preventing air moisture from reacting with the isocyanate, and prev...
