Flushing as a critical part of quality assurance
In connection with the construction of a new production facility on Zealand, particularly high demands were placed on both operational reliability and hygiene. Process pipe flushing is an essential process, as up to 90% of all downtime can be traced back to foreign objects such as metal shavings and particles after installation.
RH Pumper delivered both pumps and specialist knowledge
The customer contacted RH Pumper to provide both equipment and know-how for several extensive flushing tasks. The pipe dimensions ranged from 200 mm to 700 mm and required both robust high-pressure pumps and in-depth process understanding to ensure the necessary water velocities in the large pipe systems.
With our large stock of portable, self-priming and reliable pumps, we were able to react quickly and dimension the optimal solution.
Documented flushing and correct process execution
Throughout the project, RH Pumper provided advice on method selection, filtration and documentation. Our solution included:
- Choosing the right pump type and flow capacity
- Setting up a recirculating flushing system
- Use of mechanical collection filters
- Continuous filtration and flow control
- Full documentation and traceability in the process
The result: A clean and clearly approved piping system with no risk of downtime.
Powerful pumps ensure efficient pipe cleaning
The flushing process itself was carried out with two powerful Pioneer motor pumps that created the necessary water velocity for efficient removal of foreign matter. The mechanical filters collected particles continuously and the system was completed in clean and operational condition.
Stable recirculation and continuous filtration
When flushing large process pipes, consistent flow, filtration and monitoring are essential. Our solution ensured stable recirculation throughout the entire pipe run with the ability to both visually check and data log along the way – benefiting both operators and documentation requirements.
