Melamine is obtained by the trimerization of urea. The urea is converted into melamine, ammonia and carbon dioxide (offgas) either in a catalytic low pressure process or in a non-catalytic high pressure process.
LEWA can reliably operate pumps for melamine processes in many applications with high temperatures and simultaneous high pressure using PTFE diaphragm pumps, e.g., at 155°C and about 230 bar.
Thus urea as an industrial raw material can be conveyed as a melt with the appropriate pump heads.
LEWA metering and process diaphragm pumps meet the specific demands for urea conveying.
The important advantages are:
In order to keep the urea melt liquid (solidifying below 135°C), the appropriate devices, pipelines and pumps are temperature controlled.
LEWA's completely jacketed diaphragm pump head is especially suitable for this application. Both the pump head cover and the process valves are jacketed in this manner, so that the operating temperature is maintained within a specified range.
When critical, environmentally hazardous, toxic, or flammable fluids and suspensions need to be reliably conveyed or metered in high-pressure processes, there is no alternative to hermetically sealed metering pumps, process diaphragm pumps, and metering systems from LEWA. Hermetically sealed LEWA pumps with pressures up to 1200 bar are the first choice for the production of chemical intermediate and end products.
