Subject: Chemical Injection Pumps Procedures

Purpose:
Chemical injection pumps are a simple pneumatic device which can utilize a wide range
of supply pressures to pump chemical.

Potential Hazards:

Pressure release
Gas release
Chemical spray
Injection line parting
Environmental damage

Action:
1 Inspect Injection pump and make sure all
regulators and gauges are in place.

Information:
1 This will ensure the pump does not get over
pressured and have adequate supplied pressure.

2 Make sure lubricating oil is on the plunger shaft

and should be topped periodically.(NOTE) If it is
a oil less, do not fill reservoir with oil,

2 This will ensure that all mechanical parts do not

rust. (NOTE) oil less has a flat box actuator.

3 Connect suction line to a filter to keep sand and

grease out of the check valves.

3 This will keep all sand and oil from plugging your
check valves.

4 Make sure all methanol and chemical is clean

before rigging in suction line.

4 This will ensure that check valves will continue to

be clean when injecting.

5 Connect the discharge line and follow the fill line

for chemical pump procedure.

5 This will guide you on proper filling lines and

prevents hose damage.

6 (Note) The use of Daniels grease is not

recommended to be used in the Grease Jack
Assembly.

6 The proper grease is TA-3179, Daniels grease

breaks down and plugs the check valves.

7 Connect the power gas line. First blow power

gas line clear of all loose rust, slag and sand
particles.

7 This will prevent any particles from entering your

regulators.

8 (CAUTION) The TB-40 regulator mounted on the

pump as a standard component does not reduce
the main gas supply pressure down to 50 psig,
which is the maximum allowable for operating the
Series 5000 pump. It is factory set at 12 psig to
prevent over-pressuring the TB-37 master valve.

8 If the main gas supply pressure to the pump is

over 50 psig, it must be reduced to 50 pounds.
This can be done by installing another TB-40
regulator and TA-129 gauge. (NOTE) The
maximum allowable inlet pressure to a TB-40
regulator for installing in the main gas supply is
1500 psig.

9 Adjust for desired volume by speed control valve.

Different volumes can be achieved by short or
long strokes setting.

9 The pump is assembled with Item 47 plunger

travel adjusting pin inserted in the hole of the
plunger nearest the plunger packing gland nut.
This is the position of longest stroke. To shorten
the stroke, place the pin in the other hole.

1 Start the pump by slowly opening the TA-22 inlet

0 valve. Prime the pump head by opening the TA123 priming valve. After the pump discharges
fluid without bubbles, close the priming valve for
normal operation.
