PP (Polypropylene) Coupled Pumps
Chemical Pumps
Chemical Pumps and Acid Pumps are most significant in the safety of the surrounding workforce by preventing exposure of the fluid directly or by the fluid vaporizing. When the Chemical Pumps and Acid Pumps leak, Sulphuric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid and all such Acids may also react with exposed metal, releasing toxic fumes. Sulphuric Acid is extremely poisonous and attacks the respiratory system, the eyes, nervous system, teeth and circulatory system.
Although Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4) is non-flammable in its natural state, the formation of hydrogen gas can be extremely dangerous. The hydrogen gas can form where the corrosion of metallic parts, water ingress (such as valves, boilers, absorption systems etc.) and Sulphuric react to form the gas. The gas eventually accumulates in ‘pockets’ or stagnant areas of the system and creates a potential risk of explosion. So to avoid the danger to health and Environment this Acid and Chemical Pump work as a lifeline and reduces lots of handling, Circulating and Transferring Headache.
Chemical pumps are used in a wide variety of applications, especially in the chemical, food processing, power generation and mining industries among others. They are used to pump all manner of liquids including hot, cold, toxic, hazardous, flammable and volatile liquids. The types of chemical pumps include centrifugal, metering, and positive displacement pumps which differ in the method by which they move fluids. Some pumps may have shaft seals to prevent leakage while others may be sealless or magnetic drive pumps.

As a Chemical Pump provider for more than a decade, we understand how critical it is to find the correct solution for your chemical process. A Pump that is incompatible with your chemical will bloat, dissolve, or become brittle, eventually leaking and failing. This is why the materials used in a Chemical Transfer Pump have to be compatible with the media, as well as the temperature and concentration of the fluid being handled have to be considered properly and carefully. Numatic Pumps has a tried-and-true solution for your Chemical Process Pumps and Chemical transfer Pumps, whether you need Chemical Pumps for transferring and circulating chemicals, dosing, emptying a barrel or a tank-to-tank transfer.
The Importance of Chemical Pump Compatibility
Have you ever wondered why you can’t just have a Chemical Pump that can handle any fluid? Chemical compatibility comes into play in this situation. The real impact of chemical compatibility is determined by the material’s resistance to the medium with which it comes into contact. As a result, if a Chemical Pump is pumping a liquid that is incompatible with the material it is made of, there is a problem.
