Sodium hypochlorite, also known as liquid bleach, remains the number one water disinfectant. The main concern when sodium hypochlorite is used is ensuring that there are no leaks which can risk dangerous skin exposure. Another concern is the propensity of sodium hypochlorite to cause off-gassing when being pumped. Challenges When …
Sealless magnetic drive pumps provide many advantages including improved safety, productivity, and compliance in many fluid transfer applications. Two sets of magnets transfer power from the motor to the impeller of the pump to move fluid. Because the driven magnet is contained inside the impeller assembly, a solid barrier separates …
For industrial purposes, a dosing pump is used when a certain quantity of chemicals must be applied to a process fluid. Dosing administers several doses in specific time intervals contrary to a single dose. Dosing pumps are used in many industrial applications such as water and wastewater treatment for commercial …
Digital dosing pumps provide many benefits over mechanical metering pumps in high precision dosing applications. One downside of mechanical metering pumps is the inability to provide a dynamic, variable flow that meets various application needs without an expensive frequency converter installed. This can increase operational costs with mechanical pumps as …
There are two different major categories of pumps, conventional sealed pumps and sealless pumps. Conventional sealed pumps require a seal system, typically with a mechanical seal. Sealless pumps do not require a seal and magnetic drive pumps are an important type of sealless pumps. They are used in applications where …
