TEAL: Powering Petrochemicals with Innovation

Triethylaluminum, or TEAL, plays a vital role in the petrochemical industry. This clear, colourless liquid acts as a catalyst in numerous processes, keeping the wheels of modern manufacturing turning. Let's delve into the world of TEAL, exploring its applications and the pumps that ensure its safe and efficient handling.

The catalyst behind everyday products

TEAL is a highly reactive and selective catalyst, making it ideal for:

●?????? Polyolefin production: From plastic bags to toys and car parts, TEAL is instrumental in creating the polyolefins used in countless everyday items.

●?????? Refining crude oil: TEAL acts as a scavenger, removing impurities like sulfur from crude oil during the refining process. This leads to cleaner fuels like gasoline and diesel.

Pulsafeeder: The pump partner for TEAL applications

Due to its reactive nature, TEAL requires specialised equipment for safe handling. Pulsafeeder stands out as a leading provider of TEAL pumps in the petrochemical industry. These pumps are specifically designed for such demanding applications, featuring:

●?????? Leak detection: Ensures any potential issues are identified and addressed promptly.

●?????? Pressure relief valves: Provide an added layer of safety by releasing excess pressure.

●?????? Robust construction: Built to withstand the harsh realities of TEAL handling.

Optimum performance with specialised design

Pulsafeeder's TEAL pumps incorporate innovative features that enhance performance and simplify operation:

●?????? Push-to-purge: Automatically removes air trapped in the hydraulic system, simplifying commissioning and saving time on startups with an easy manual priming option.

●?????? Nitrogen filled design: Provides compatibility with wet end materials like stainless steel (no lead, zinc, or aluminum) for a safer and more reliable operation. Double diaphragms with leak detection offer an extra layer of protection. The full-motion, hydraulic design minimizes wear on the diaphragm, extending pump life.

●?????? 4-bolt tie bar design: This rigid design offers superior resistance to piping moments and forces, preventing leaks caused by vibrations.

●?????? Integrated nitrogen fittings: The gearbox and intermediate head are specifically designed for nitrogen gas purge systems. The system includes convenient 1/4" OD tubing input and output connections.

Advantages of TEAL

●?????? High reactivity & selectivity: Ideal for efficient polyolefin production.

●?????? Powerful scavenger: Promotes cleaner fuel production through sulfur removal.

●?????? Relatively easy handling & storage: A popular choice for various industrial applications.

Considerations for safe use

●?????? Highly reactive: Requires careful handling and appropriate equipment to ensure worker and environmental safety.

●?????? Flammable liquid: Strict regulations govern storage and transportation.

The Future of TEAL

With the ever-growing demand for polymers and other TEAL-derived materials, the use of this catalyst is expected to rise. Pulsafeeder's commitment to innovation ensures the development of specialised pumps that handle TEAL safely and efficiently, meeting the stringent requirements of the petrochemical industry.

TEAL: A catalyst for progress

TEAL is a cornerstone of the petrochemical industry, enabling the production of essential materials. By utilising specialised pumps like our Pulsafeeder pumps, safe and efficient handling of this crucial catalyst is assured. This paves the way for continued progress in meeting the ever-growing demand for these materials in our daily lives.
