Does anyone know which pump is suitable for transporting dichloromethane?
Thread Content
Based on your experience, what type of pump is preferable for transporting dichloromethane?
My experience is with magnetic pump. It has applications in pharmaceutical factories.
Our company has previously worked with this type of medium, using magnetic pumps
Fluoroplastic magnetic pumps are a good choice; if the liquid contains particles, it is recommended to use fluoroplastic centrifugal pumps. Fluoroplastic materials are suitable for transporting dimethyl ether
Many of our projects have involved this type of medium. For dichloromethane, the main concerns are explosion and fire hazards; particular attention is paid to the risk of fires and explosions caused by leaks. Therefore, pumps such as magnetic pumps and shielded pumps, which can effectively prevent leaks, are chosen. Another important aspect is static electricity prevention; hence, it is not recommended to use pumps made of plastic, but rather pumps made of metal (since dichloromethane has low corrosivity). Metal pipes should also be used, along with proper bonding and static grounding measures to ensure effective protection against static electricity! Similar substances include common chemical raw materials such as chloromethane, propane, ethanol, and methanol.
We use standard units directly; for transporting dichloromethane, fluoroplastic magnetic pumps are used, as they are leak-proof magnetic pumps. Brand-name explosion-proof motors can be paired with them. As mentioned above, metal pumps have good anti-static properties, so why are many insulators made of plastic rather than metal?
Magnetic pumps are the best; but all I have are stainless steel centrifugal pumps
