In the demanding world of vacuum truck operations, whether for hydrocarbon recovery, industrial waste management, or municipal services. Choosing the right vacuum pump is critical. Among the various technologies available, liquid ring pumps stand out as the optimal solution for safety, sustainability, and performance.
Here are four compelling reasons why liquid ring pumps are the ideal choice for vacuum trucks:
When safety is a top priority, liquid ring pumps stand out as the superior choice. The liquid ring pumps contribute to more sustainable operations by having a clean exhaust, protecting the operators and passersby. They have a low noise level while in operation, preventing noise pollution. And there is no risk of explosion, contributing to a safer work environment.
The liquid ring vacuum pump creates it’s suction power on water and emits no oil. This, very clean type of operation, makes the liquid ring pump the suitable choice for urban applications and protection of operators’ health.
The liquid ring pump ensures a clean and safe working environment with a 100% clean exhaust and creates its suction power on water and emits no oil. This, very clean type of operation, makes the liquid ring pump the suitable choice for urban applications and protection of operators’ health.
The capacity of the liquid ring pump to discharge just clear exhaust is particularly crucial in industries where preventing contamination and pollution is paramount.
No risks for explosions
The absence of sparking risk in liquid ring pumps contributes to their sustainability by enhancing safety and reducing the risk of hazardous situations.
Since liquid ring pumps do not have metal-to-metal contact within their operating mechanisms, the likelihood of sparks, which could ignite in certain industrial environments, is eliminated. This makes them particularly valuable in industries where explosive or flammable vapors are present, preventing accidents and damage to the environment.
The liquid ring pump emits a noise level of 81 dB(A) at 3 feet, like the noise inside a passenger car. And at a distance of 23 feet, the liquid ring pump emits a sound of 63 dB(A) similar to that of a children’s playground. Considering its significantly lower noise output at both proximities, the liquid ring pump is approved as the technology that prevents noise pollution.
There are three types of vacuum pumps: liquid ring vacuum pumps, vane pumps and blowers. When comparing these three types of vacuum pumps, the blowers are the noisiest with a sound pressure of 95 dB(A).
The vane pumps come in second place as the noisiest with a sound pressure of 91 dB(A).
The liquid ring pump is, with no comparison, the most silent vacuum pump type. It has a sound pressure of only 81 dB(A) for operators and 64 dB(A) for surroundings at 23 feet. Making it the suitable choice for urban applications and protection of operator’s health.
The liquid ring pump uses only water. Advances in the technology made it possible to recirculate the service liquid, significantly reducing water usage. Other vacuum pumps use as lubricants oil or other greases. These types of lubricants are not only costly but they are harmful for the nature and cannot be reused.
Minimal Maintenance Requirements
The robust design of liquid ring pumps contributes to their long lifespan. With fewer moving parts and no friction, liquid ring pumps have a longer lifespan when compared to vane pumps and blowers. Not only do they have a longer lifespan, but they also require less maintenance. This results in fewer replacement parts and lubricants, and lowers the overall energy and material consumption over the pump’s lifecycle. And the built-in strength and robust design translates into a reduced manufacturing footprint.
Whether you're building or upgrading vacuum trucks for municipal, industrial, or environmental applications, liquid ring pumps offer unmatched advantages in safety, sustainability, and performance. Make the switch to a cleaner, quieter, and more reliable technology. Choose liquid ring pumps for your next vacuum truck build.
