Common problems with chemical injection quills include clogging, leakage, and incorrect dosing.
- Clogging: This can occur if the chemical being injected is too viscous or if the quill’s orifice is too small. To prevent clogging, make sure to use a quill with a large enough orifice for the chemical being injected and ensure that the chemical is properly diluted before injection.
- Leakage: This can occur if the quill’s O-ring or other seals are damaged or if the quill is not tightened properly. To prevent leakage, make sure to regularly inspect and replace any worn or damaged seals, and ensure that the quill is tightened properly before use.
- Incorrect dosing: This can occur if the quill’s flow rate is not set correctly or if the chemical being injected is not properly diluted. To prevent incorrect dosing, make sure to properly calibrate the quill’s flow rate and ensure that the chemical is properly diluted before injection.
Troubleshooting tips:
- If the quill is clogged, try cleaning it with a cleaning solution or by running a pipe cleaner through the orifice.
- If the quill is leaking, check the O-ring and other seals to see if they are worn or damaged. If they are, replace them.
- If the quill is not dispensing the correct amount of chemical, check the flow rate and ensure that it is set correctly.
- If you are having trouble with any of the above issues, you should contact the manufacturer or supplier for additional assistance.
Note: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use, maintenance and troubleshoot of the chemical injection quills.
Factors to consider while selecting a chemical injection quill
When selecting a chemical injection quill, there are several factors to consider:
- Compatibility: Make sure the quill is compatible with the chemical or fluids you will be injecting. This includes compatibility with the chemical’s viscosity, temperature range, and pressure requirements.
- Flow rate: The flow rate of the quill is an important factor to consider. It should match the required flow rate of the chemical injection process.
- Injection point: Consider the location and design of the injection point. Some quills are designed for specific types of equipment or piping systems.
- Material of construction: Consider the chemical resistance of the quill’s materials of construction. The quill should be made of materials that can withstand the chemicals being injected and the conditions of the application.
- Accuracy and repeatability: The quill should be able to dispense the chemical at a consistent and accurate rate, to avoid over or under dosing.
- Safety: Consider the safety features of the quill, such as pressure relief valves, overpressure protection, and shut-off valves.
- Cost: Consider the total cost of the quill, including the purchase price and any ongoing maintenance or replacement costs.
- Reliability: The quill should be reliable and easy to maintain.
- Brand and supplier: Consider the reputation and reliability of the supplier and brand.
- Standard and regulations: Consider the industry standards and regulations that the quill must meet.
It is important to consult with the chemical supplier or the equipment manufacturer to ensure that the injection quill is suitable for the intended application and can meet the required specifications.
