Selecting a pump for corrosive chemicals involves more than finding materials that can tolerate the fluid. The pump must also match the system's flow requirements, suction conditions, duty cycle, containment needs, and maintenance strategy. Magnetic-drive centrifugal pumps, air-operated double-diaphragm pumps, and mechanically sealed centrifugal pumps can all be used successfully …
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. …
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, …
A sodium hypochlorite metering pump must be selected for more than flow and pressure. Bleach and other off-gassing treatment chemicals can release gas in the liquid end, interfere with check-valve performance, and cause loss of prime even while the motor or solenoid continues to stroke. The result is usually seen …
Metering pump accessories determine whether the installed chemical feed system can verify output, protect against overpressure, control siphoning, reduce pressure spikes, and inject chemical into the process stream correctly. A metering pump may be sized correctly and still deliver poor results if the accessory package does not match the hydraulic …
