Chemical pump material compatibility depends on the actual operating conditions, not simply the chemical name. Concentration and temperature can change how a fluid interacts with metals, plastics, elastomers, seals, and other wetted components, sometimes enough to require a different material package for what appears to be the same chemical service. …
Illinois Process Equipment, IPE, offers air operated diaphragm pumps that cover a wide range of applications. Air operated double diaphragm, AODD pumps, have unique capabilities to self-prime and handle more viscous, thicker materials and solids. IPE offers AODD pumps from the top manufacturers along with value-added services such as sizing, …
Centrifugal pumps cover a broad category of pumps that vary in shape, size, capacity, style, and configuration. Illinois Process Equipment, IPE, offers a wide selection of centrifugal pumps such as end-suction, horizontal split case, submersible, self-priming and vertical inline multi-stage which are found in a variety of applications. Centrifugal Pump …
A circulating pump is a type of pump designed to move liquids, gases, or slurries within a closed circuit to maintain a continuous, steady flow. These pumps are essential in systems where the fluid needs to be circulated through a loop or circuit, typically to ensure uniform temperature, pressure, or …
Illinois Process Equipment, IPE, offers metering pumps, also called dosing pumps as they are used to provide precision fluid handling and measured dosing of specific fluids. Fluid metering pumps deliver precise dosing while maintaining a constant flow rate to move a measured volume of liquid or chemicals over a specified …
Regenerative turbine pumps, also known as peripheral pumps or peripheral turbine pumps, are a type of centrifugal pump used for moving fluids, particularly in applications where high pressure and low flow rates are required. These pumps are known for their unique design, which sets them apart from other centrifugal pumps. …
Sulfuric acid pump selection requires more than matching the required flow rate to a pump curve. Chemical concentration, operating temperature, and transfer conditions all affect which materials and pump technologies suit the application. The same applies to sodium hydroxide and other caustic solutions. A pump that performs reliably at one …
You will learn how to evaluate chemical compatibility for metering pump liquid ends by checking the chemical, operating conditions, wetted materials, installation, and likely failure points.
Chemical feed pump redundancy should be based on the consequences of lost feed, not solely on the cost of adding another pump. In critical treatment systems, a single failed metering pump can create compliance exposure, product-quality problems, equipment protection risks, wastewater disruption, or unsafe process conditions. Redundancy can improve uptime, …
This infographic maps the common points where sodium hypochlorite systems fail, from suction lines and pump heads to seals, valves, and storage areas. It’s useful for maintenance teams and engineers troubleshooting chronic dosing problems.
