Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

(OP)
Any reliable centrifugal pump that is competitive to handle hydrochloride acid ?

RE: Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

Plenty of them. Not the least of which would be Goulds & Flowserve(Durco); many, many other as well. You probably will want to look at a non-metallic pump, of which there are very many with long successful track records / installations.

RE: Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

Magdriven centrifugal pumps. Just Google that and you will get plenty of results.

RE: Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

Goulds 3298 tefzel lined mag drive pump.

RE: Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

(OP)
Other than leading brand flowserve and goulds, what is the internal material would be for casing or impeller ?

RE: Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

Plastic (PP, PVFD, PTFE), depending upon acid concentration, flow and head of the pump.

RE: Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

I would recommend looking into mag-drive pumps, as those prior to me have also said.

I have had success with Goulds 3298, Innomags, and even Sundyne ANSI-Mags. All mag-drive pumps, each with their own pros and cons. At this time I don't have an opinion of one over the other, as I have the 3298's in HCl service, the Innomags in NaOH, and NaOCl service and the ANSI-Mag in H2SO4 service. I would also take a look at IWAKI M Series mag-drive pumps and also possibly UltraChem. I haven't had any experience with those, but they are likely worth looking into as it is always good to have options to compare. Good luck.

RE: Chemical acidic centrifugal pump ?

This question was previously asked and answered: mag-driven Teflon lined pumps are the normal tool for this job.
