In the phosphates industry, pumps are required in the struvite continuous reaction crystallization process and also for waste water treatment.
Gas-Liquid Jet pumps capable of mixed suspension and mixed product removal along with crystallizer pumped with compressed air generating ascending suspension flow in a mixing chamber is desirable.
Pumps should also be able to handle the influence of pH (8.5 – 10) for a considerable time (900 – 3600 s) that may be required for , mean residence of suspension in a crystallizer.
This is necessary for phosphorus recycling and separation from magnesium ions in the suspension.
