used in a variety of applications. In the pulp and paper industry, BG reduces the use of
defoamers in the washing department and in the deinking
plant. Processes containing foam for the formation of
certain special paper qualities is another application.

Gas Content up to 70%


Gas in the pumped liquid ranges from small bubbles
strongly bound to the liquid to larger bubbles. Large bubbles
are the ones that cause unstable pumping and they are
separated in the impeller. Liquids with gas contents as high
as 70% are handled by BG pumps. Each application must
be studied separately and for each application the gas
content and the size of the bubbles should be con-
sidered.

Few Unique Parts


A BG series pump is part of the ABS mo-
dular system, but with a special patented
impeller, a special casing cover and a seal
cartridge of a new design. An ABS desig-
ned ejector creates the differential pressure
required to remove the gas. As an alternative,
a vacuum pump could be used instead of the ejector.

Functioning of the BG
The ABS patented impeller, with back vanes and special
passages makes it possible for the gas to escape behind
the impeller, where the pressure is approximately the
same as in the inlet. The gas separated in the pump is
transferred through the seal cartridge and is then retur-

Applications for BG
The BG pump was first used as a circulation pump in a
chemical industry reaction vessel with gas problem. In
the pulp and paper industry BG pumps reduce the use of
defoamers considerably. Another interesting application
is pumping sugar syrup with more than 70% sugar.
The picture shows a BG pump installed in fibre-line 3 at
Korsnäsverken, in Gävle, Sweden. Two BG pumps have
been running there since 1996.
