Pure liquid ammonia thanks to the Pipeline magnetic separator MSP-S 50 N OCTOPUS (case study)
Initial situation
In chemical production using liquid ammonia, medium purity is crucial. Even tiny metal particles can degrade product quality, damage equipment and, in extreme cases, lead to customer complaints.
In a water-treatment technology with an ammonia admixture, it was necessary to prevent iron filings and metallic fragments originating from pipelines and fittings from entering the product. The existing filtration, however, was not able to capture all metallic contaminants.
Problem description
During production, small ferromagnetic particles generated by equipment wear entered the system. These metallic residues affected the quality of the outlet ammonia, caused unwanted deposits and increased the frequency of complaints.
A solution was required that would reliably capture even metal microparticles from the liquid mixture without reducing flow rate or increasing line pressure.
Solution
After installing the Pipeline magnetic separator MSP-S 50 N OCTOPUS, the quality of the final product improved significantly.
- Complaints stabilized completely after commissioning,
- the product (liquid ammonia) is now free of metallic impurities,
- and the entire water-cleaning process with an ammonia admixture is stable and reliable.
At the same time, the device helped reduce wear of pipeline components and increased overall production efficiency.
Benefits of MSP-S 50 N OCTOPUS
- 5-year warranty – proof of long-term reliability and quality
- Low weight for easy installation and handling even in confined spaces
- Neodymium magnets with extreme magnetic induction up to 16,000 Gauss ensure maximum separation efficiency
- Capture of ferromagnetic particles from 1 micron
Applied device: Pipeline magnetic separator MSP-S 50 N OCTOPUS
Conclusion
By deploying the Pipeline magnetic separator MSP-S 50 N OCTOPUS, metallic impurities in liquid ammonia were completely eliminated, product quality was stabilized, and the root causes of complaints were removed.
This case confirms that SOLLAU magnetic separators are a reliable solution for final polishing in the chemical and process industries, where purity is the key to success.
