PREVENT CHEMICAL SPILLS DUE TO PUMP DIAPHRAGM FAILURE
Riverside, CA
The patented Blacoh Spill-STOP® is designed to prevent toxic and/or expensive chemical spills caused by the failure of diaphragms in air operated diaphragm pumps. The Spill-STOP® is more than just an alarm or moisture sensor. It's patented design captures any contaminated exhaust air or liquid leaked through a ruptured diaphragm. The Spill-STOP® then automatically shuts off the pump - pneumatically, no electricity or batteries are required. The Spill-STOP®'s operating principle is simple. Exhaust air from the pump is directed into the Spill-STOP®, which acts as an accumulator vessel and exhaust muffler.
When a pump diaphragm fails, the liquid and fugitive emissions that would escape through the pump's air exhaust are directed into the Spill-STOP® and are captured. The Spill-STOP® contains a float-controlled valve, which shuts off the compressed air supply to the pump, insuring no further liquid is pumped through the failed diaphragm and preventing a hazardous chemical spill. In addition, the valve can automatically turn on a standby pump or trigger an alarm for immediate response. Spill-STOP® also minimizes the hazards to personnel exposed to airborne chemicals from the exhaust of air-operated pumps.
