Function |
: |
The device fitted in air lift pump reduces the salt build up in the pipes. |
2. |
Principle |
: |
The device consists of a tank with lime and water in the ratio 1:3. When compressed air is passed through the lime solution it disperses the CO2 in air, preventing salt formation. |
3. |
General information |
: |
The lime requirement per month (10 hours per day of pump working) of CO2 from air at volume rate of 1 lit/sec for dispersion is 3.56 kg. The air contact area with lime solution can be increased by multiple perforations. |
