Pumping Grease and Water
Pumping Grease and Water
(OP)
I am dealing with a pumping situation where I need to be able to tell when the pumped liquid has changed from grease to water. I have a couple of ideas already like a thermal mass sensor or a conductivity meter but I'm primarily concerned about equipment fouling. I've also thought about doing something on the storage side but that won't help if I get ratholing. Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone run across this before? Thanks so much.

What is the grease? The temperature? Liquid or solid grease? Indoors or outdoors? Why are you pumping these materials? Is this a waste or a process application? Capacity? How far are you trying to pump?

Economical it would seem sensible too look into this instead, or parallell, to put in equipment that seems to end up with considerable heating and separating costs 'downstream'.
