What type of pump would you recommend for dilute (3 to 10%) sulfuric acid service? I have a project to replace the current leaking pumps and want to come up to modern standars. The pumps deliver 220 gpm of acid at 120 ft of head to various users in the plant. The acid is produced from the boiler feedwater ion exchange bed regeneration. Thank you.

I agree with ccfowler. Check out the Vanton Pump website. They manufacture a wide range of thermoplastic pumps that will handle your requirements.
pmureiko,
When investigating a new or replacement installation, the more information available - the better the potential solution. In addition to 25362's question regarding temp, can you also provide details about the existing pump. Pump type, material of construction, seal info (type and mat'l).
What have been the problems with the existing pump? Leaks from where? Any other pertinent information that you can post.
