Downstream
Ensuring highly hygienic operation, Grundfos’ range of sanitary pumps is the obvious choice for handling refined products in downstream processes. The pumps gently and precisely pump the media through separation, recovery and purification processes to allow for a final product of the highest quality.
Depending on the process flow and pressure, single-stage or multistage centrifugal pumps remove the separated liquid and transport the refined product on to the next process step. Highly viscous and shear sensitive media are efficiently handled by robust lobe pumps, that guarantee to be gentle on the product.
Specifically for purification and sterilisation processes in the production of water for injection (WFI), Grundfos offers sanitary pump solutions for filter, membrane and distillation applications.
Whatever the product, Grundfos pumps treat it with great care to maintain both purity and product characteristics while ensuring high plant reliability and optimised energy consumption.
