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 are also used in boilers and power stations to inject chemicals at various stages of the process, including helping to regulate water pressure. Other industries that use chemical transfer pumps include:
- Aerial spraying
- Agriculture
- Biofuels
- Construction
- Food processing
- Mining
- Nuclear
- Oil and gas
- Pharmaceutical
- Pulp and paper
- Sewage
- Slurry processing
- Water treatment
