Chemical Transfer Pump Basics and Applications

 By definition, a chemical transfer pump is any type of pump that safely transfers and dispenses chemicals among a system, be it a positive displacement pump or centrifugal pump.  Chemical transfer pumps are not to be confused with chemical process pumps, or pumps used to process chemicals by mixing them, heating/cooling them, or some other process. A chemical transfer pump may be used in conjunction with a chemical process pump in order to carry out a process. Although water is technically a chemical, a water transfer pump is generally not considered to be a chemical transfer pump. This is because the casing and components of a chemical transfer pump are often built with highly resilient materials that can withstand toxic, corrosive,  CHEMICAL TRANSFER PUMP APPLICATIONS Chemical transfer pumps are used in a variety of applications, not just in the chemical industry. For example, these types of pumps are used in swimming pools to add chlorine at acceptable levels. They ar...

The Top 4 Pumps Found in the Chemical Industry

  Chemical processing pumps are critical to the chemical conversion process of manufacturing a finished product. Chemical process pumps are widely used in the chemical process, petroleum, and petrochemical industries for low flow high head applications. There are a variety of chemical processing pumps manufactured for improving the operation and efficiency of process systems that can reduce overall process costs.  The main types of pumps used in the chemical industry are: Centrifugal pumps: These are the most common types of pumps used in the chemical industry. They are highly efficient pumps, simple in design and operation, and generally less expensive than other types of pumps. Positive displacement pumps :These are all types of rotary pumps and include gear, screw, rotary vane, and piston pumps. They are more efficient than centrifugal pumps at moving high viscosity fluids and can deliver high pump pressures. Positive displacement pumps can also move low vapor pressure flui...
