01953 609930Pulsation Dampening
Pulsation dampeners and fluid attenuation systems supplied by Premier Control Technologies absorb excessive pressure spikes, line shock, and downstream ripple tracking caused by positive displacement pumps. By installing these heavy-duty inline accessories directly at the pump discharge or fluid inlet, process engineers can eliminate structural system pipe shake, mitigate hydraulic water hammer risks, and actively protect sensitive inline analytical instrumentation from early mechanical fatigue.

Why Integrate Active Pulsation Dampening?
Whether dealing with abrasive industrial slurries or strict, validated pharmaceutical ingredients, managing fluid energy waves provides several vital process layout advantages:
- Protects System Components: Dramatically extends the working service lifecycle of sensitive filtration membranes and chromatography columns.
- Improves Product Yield: Reduces shear-related cell damage in biopharma processes and promotes consistent stoichiometry in blending systems.
- Stabilises Flow Profiles: Delivers a smooth, linear continuous flow profile to downstream meters, enabling precise metering and dosing loop tracking.
- Reduces Valve Hunting: Minimises rapid pressure fluctuations, allowing back-pressure regulators and control valves to maintain steady setpoints without continuous wear.
Pulsation Control Technology Options
