Without effective air removal, medium consistencypumps will not operate reliably.
The efficient air removal system of the Model 3500XDand the simple degas system result in easy operationand very low maintenance.
X-Ducer agitates pulp to assist flow into pump inlet. X-Ducer also separates airfrom water and fiber.
X-Ducer utilizes conventional technology to concentrate air in core and prepareit for removal. Fiber and water move to the periphery of the X-Ducer, then ispicked up by the impeller vanes. The air is concentrated near the center of theX-Ducer and is removed through the air extraction holes in the impeller.Using previous technology from inducers, sufficient pressure is generated toallow air to be removed for operation at pulp consistencies up to at least 10%.
Fiber and water suspension are subjected to pumping action by impeller vanes.Modified concentric casing allows for operation over wide flow range.
Air and water, plus a small amount of residual fiber, pass through impeller airextraction holes.
The large pump-out vanes pump the fiber and water to the periphery ofthe impeller.
Air with water is extracted across the top surface of the patented (USPatent#5,087,171) secondary air separation removal device into the vacuumsystem. This device permits separation of any remaining fiber which may bepresent at this point. Fiber pull through the vacuum system is virtually eliminated.
The air and water from the degas system is discharged to drain or returned tothe standpipe. Depending on the service conditions and design pulp consistency,a vacuum pump may not be needed.

Proven Goulds Applications
Pumping Solutions
Pumping fromWashers, Pressesand Disc FiltersPulp at consistencies up to14% from different washertypes feed into Gouldsstandpipes to be pumpedto the next operation.
Eop Stage PumpingPumping through an O2 mixer into aretention tube and extraction tower.Back pressure may be applied at thetop of the upflow retention tube.Hydrogen peroxide and caustic mayalso be added at the pump suction.
D Stage Feed Pumping Pumping from a standpipe to atitanium ClO2 mixer and feeding the chlorine dioxide tower.
High Density TowerPumping to a HD tower with aconventional standpipe unit or pumpingfrom a HD tower with a tower bottominstallation. Pumping to multiple HDtowers is also possible. Long distancesmay require booster units.
O2 Delignification ReactorPumping from a standpipe to an O2
mixer adding oxygen before thereaction tower. Steam can also beadded to elevate the stocktemperatures to the required levels.
Extensive worldwide installations operate reliably on services in pulpingand bleaching operations. These successful installations result from:
1. Defining Requirements Understanding and defining the requirements for operation — operating data parameters, piping layouts and knowledge of related equipment(washers, mixers and system components)
2. Designing Systems Designing systems to meet the operating criteria
3. Commissioning Commissioning the systems when required by the users

• Alarms set at 85% and 10% level.
• Start up Interlock at minimum of 10% levelto prevent dry running of pump.
• Automatic dilution system to assist pumpingwhen standpipe level deviates outside itsallowable set point range.
Seal & Flush Water System
• Three separate flow meters control flow to:– Mechanical seal & bearing cooling coil– Vacuum pump make up– Degas chamber
• An Alarm sounds if the flow rate dropsbelow 50% of the required value.
• An Interlock keeps the pump fromstarting up without minimum seal andflush water flow.
• Vacuum pump operates whenModel 3500XD operates.
• ARV is open when LCV is open.
• An Alarm will sound if the vacuum pumpshuts down.
• Closing ARV can isolate air removal system.
• For applications limited to 10-11% consistencythe vacuum pump is not required.
– Unit will use an ARV to prevent waterin standpipe from draining
– When in operation ARV will be open anddegas line will vent to drain or air separator.
