Acid Transfer Pump

Pump

Acid pumps are essential components in a variety of industrial processes and applications, where they play a crucial role in moving corrosive liquids and liquids with abrasive solids. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about acid pumps, including how they work, their different types, and their benefits and limitations.

What are Acid Pumps?

Acid pumps are pumps designed to handle corrosive and abrasive liquids that would damage or destroy regular pumps. These pumps are made of materials that can withstand the harsh chemical environment, such as stainless steel, duplex steels, and often plastic based polymers. The materials used in the construction of acid pumps depend on the type of liquid being pumped and the concentration of the corrosive material.

How do Acid Pumps Work?

Acid pumps work in much the same way as other pumps, using a rotating component to generate flow and pressure. The rotating component, typically an impeller or rotor, creates a flow by sucking the fluid into the inlet and expelling it out the outlet. In an acid pump, the rotating component is made of materials that can withstand the corrosive liquid being pumped.

Process Pumps

What are process pumps?

Process pumps are a broad category of pumps used in many different industries to move fluids and semi-solids from point A to point B. Applications for these pumps include moving water, chemicals, mud, or other substances.

What does a process pump include?

While there are many types of process pumps, most have the same basic components. A typical system will include a prime mover, such as a gas-powered engine or an electrical motor. It may also include a gearbox, direct coupled or V-belt drive to help decrease the speed of the pump.

Slurry Pumps

Pump

A slurry pump is also known as a lined pump or dredge pump and is a centrifugal pump for transporting a fluid handled containing highly abrasive solids such as flotations, suspensions of slag, coal or ore in mining and sinter sludges, or in sand and gravel extraction. They are particularly heavily exposed to erosive wear.
