Selective non-catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (SNCR process)
VANE-MAG® MPA - corrosion-resistant and magnetically-coupled rotary sliding vane pumps made of stainless steel for conveying ammonia water, technically leak-proof according to TA-Luft
The SNCR process is an established method for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) in emissions from industrial plants such as power plants, cement factories, or waste incinerators. It is a cost-effective way to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and, in turn, air pollution and acid rain.
The SNCR process is based on the reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia (NH3) or urea (NH2CONH2) as reducing agents. The reduction takes place at high temperatures, typically between 850-1100 °C. The reducing agent is injected directly into the exhaust stream before the gases enter the flue gas cleaning system.

Hydrochloric acid is used as an auxiliary substance or reagent in various pharmaceutical processes. One example is the production of medications, where hydrochloric acid is used to adjust the pH value. It can also be used in the synthesis of active ingredients or in the cleaning of raw materials. Another example is the use of hydrochloric acid as a disinfectant in cleaning and sterilization processes in the pharmaceutical industry. In pharmaceutical production facilities for biotechnologically manufactured products such as food, feed, medicines, or other technical applications, the pipelines and product-contact components need to be cleaned at regular intervals. Typically, this is done using pumps specifically designed for this purpose, which need to handle cleaning agents, acids, and alkalis (for cleaning and neutralization). This process is called CIP (Cleaning In Place). Pharmaceutical plants often have potentially explosive atmospheres. Therefore, pumps are often required to meet challenging requirements, such as ensuring chemical resistance to the acids and alkalis used, ATEX compliance, and FDA conformity for the media-contact components to avoid contaminating the end products.

Denitrification with Methanol in Urban or Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants
VANE-MAG® MPA - Corrosion-Resistant and Magnetically Coupled Stainless Steel Rotary Vane Pumps for Methanol Dosing
Denitrification is a process in wastewater treatment plants where nitrogen is removed from the wastewater. During this process, the nitrate content in the wastewater is reduced by converting nitrate into nitrogen gas. One method of carrying out denitrification in municipal wastewater treatment plants is by adding methanol as a carbon source.
In denitrification with methanol, methanol is added to the wastewater. The methanol molecules serve as a carbon source for the denitrifying bacteria present in the wastewater treatment process. These bacteria utilize methanol as an energy source and convert the nitrate in the wastewater into nitrogen gas. The resulting nitrogen gas is then released into the atmosphere, while the treated water undergoes further treatment to be returned to the natural water cycle.
The MPA rotary displacement pump from MARCH PUMPEN is highly suitable as a dosing pump for denitrification with methanol in urban or municipal wastewater treatment plants. This pump, made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and the magnet drive, has proven its effectiveness in multiple applications.

Magnetically Coupled Rotary Vane Pumps: Ideal for pentane feed in the production of PU foam in metal composite elements and insulation panels.
VANE-MAG® MPA - mag drive rotary sliding vane pumps as pentane feed-pumps for PU foam production
Due to the flammability and high volatility of pentane, which has a boiling point of only about 36°C, special pump and system conditions are necessary. It is of paramount importance that the pumps operate without cavitation. Therefore, the NPSHA must be carefully determined and compared with the NPSHR. Usually, it should apply: NPSHA > NPSHR + 0.5m. It is also essential that no additional heat, especially at such a low boiling point, is added to the conveyed medium. Specific system conditions, such as low flow rates at high differential pressure, also limit the selection of suitable pump types.
Magnetically coupled rotary vane pumps ,also known as sliding vane pumps, of the VANE-MAG® MPA series offer ideal properties for this demanding process.

Alkaline electrolysis for the production of green hydrogen
TEF-MAG® - chemical resistant gear pumps made of completely non-metallic materials for hydrogen electrolysis to produce green hydrogen
On behalf of a Dortmund-based global market leader in the field of green hydrogen production, MARCH PUMPEN has custom configured a unique pump. The patented magnetically coupled gear pump TEF-MAG® forms the basis for this pump. The requirements for the new electrolysis process in a miniaturized "high pressure stack electrolyser" included a completely non-metallic pump in accordance with ATEX for 30% potassium hydroxide at operating temperatures of 70 to 90°C. Due to the need for a non-metallic material with a high pressure rating and ATEX compliance, a special material had to be found. In close cooperation with a material manufacturer, a suitable electrically conductive PEEK material was found whose high strength, continuous service temperature and chemical resistance make it possible to use plastics at high temperatures and pressures. All other wetted components of the pump are made of common and completely non-metallic as well as chemically resistant materials such as SiC, graphite and FFKM. The rotating displacement pumps of the TEF-MAG® series are external gear pumps and can deliver small volume flows at high differential pressures almost without pulsation.
Selective Catalytic Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides (SCR Process)
VANE-MAG® MPA - corrosion-resistant and magnetically coupled rotary vane pumps made of stainless steel for the conveying of urea for the reduction of nitrogen oxides
The SCR process
The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) process is an exhaust aftertreatment technology primarily used for the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gases of combustion engines.
It was originally developed for diesel engines but is also applied in gas turbines and some stationary combustion plants.
The SCR process works by injecting a urea-based reducing agent, typically AdBlue or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), into the exhaust stream before a special catalyst.
Solvent dosing for the production of Polyvinylether
VANE-MAG® MPA - corrosion-resistant and magnetically-coupled rotary sliding vane pumps made of stainless steel for dosing solvents.
Polyvinyl ether is produced by the polymerization of vinyl monomers, in which a large number of vinyl groups are linked together to form a long polymer chain. There are various methods for producing polyvinyl ether, but the most common method is the radical polymerization of vinyl methyl ether (VME) or vinyl methoxy methyl ether (VMME).
The polymerization occurs in the presence of an initiator, which triggers the formation of radicals that then bind the monomers. The reaction can be carried out in an aqueous or organic solution or in a melt.
The steps for producing polyvinyl ether are as follows:
- Production of VME or VMME by reacting vinyl chloride with methanol or methoxy methanol.
- Polymerization of VME or VMME by radical polymerization in the presence of an initiator such as hydrogen peroxide or benzoyl peroxide.
- Separation of the polyvinyl ether by filtration, drying, or extraction.
TEF-MAG® Chemical-resistant gear pump made of non-metallic materials for the conveyance of sulfuric acid in the production of aramid fibers.
...The production process of aramid is demanding and requires precise sequences to achieve the special properties of these high-performance fibers. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) plays a central role, especially in the wet spinning process for the production of aramid fibers.
In the production of aramid fibers, especially in the well-known process for producing poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide), sulfuric acid acts as a spinning fluid. It serves as a solvent for the aromatic polyamide used to produce aramid fibers. The polymer is dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid to obtain a spinneret solution. This solution is pressed through fine nozzles to create threads. These threads are introduced into a coagulation bath, typically a diluted sulfuric acid solution, where the polymer is precipitated, and fiber formation starts. The high sulfuric acid concentration allows the alignment of the polymer chains in the solution before fiber formation an essential step to achieve the impressive tensile strength properties of aramid fibers....
