Flowrox Expulse pulsation dampener

Flowrox has launched the Expulse, designed to assist during pump and dampener maintenance by reducing the noise and vibration associated with traditional methods which could lead to pipe damage, breakage and a loss of revenue. The product has been designed for use by companies in the oil and gas, mining, metallurgy and other industries where pipes and valves are used to move materials or fluids using pressure.

Traditional pulsating pump dampeners are known to produce unbalanced shaking that can result in failure or operational drawbacks, which in turn require additional add-ons and devices to counter these challenges. Flowrox has designed a pulsation dampener system which quiets noise while settling pressure peaks and ensuring a continuous fluid flow.

One of the product’s features is its ability to reduce energy consumption by up to 10%, largely as a result of its absorption of up to 90% of pulsations. In addition, the device’s reduction in the hammering of the pipeline and pump can lead to extended operational lifetime for the pump bearing and gearbox - two critical components in pipeline operations that face wear and tear in high-performance environments.

The flexible pulsation dampener also prevents the collection of sediment, particles or residue due to its built-in self-cleaning operation.
