Reagent pump selection.
Reagent pump selection.
(OP)
I'm not having any success finding a pump, actually two, that meet the pressure and flow rates I need.
I have to pump a reagent (bleach) into a pressurized line. The line is at 120psi and I have to flow at 0.2gal/hr(12ml/min).
All the pumps I'm finding/have-tried are not doing the job. The typical reagent pulse pumps are abysmal. The pulses are also creating havoc. I greatly desire a continuous pump. Most pumps in this low flow range seem to top out around 100psi.
If I need to, to match a pump, I can dilute the reagents up to 10x so those numbers would change up to 2gal/hr(120ml/min).
Any suggestions?

RE: Reagent pump selection.
What you need is a really small triplex plunger pump with glass pistons. I'm not aware that there is such a thing.
You could kluge up a triplex pump using air cylinders and a PLC instead of a crankshaft, I'm sure.
