Shielded pumps are used to pump acid
Thread Content
Everyone: Are there any companies that use shielded pumps to transport 98% acid in its finished form? How is their experience with these pumps, and have any abnormal damages to the pumps occurred? Please share your experiences. (The main purpose is to prevent frequent leakage of acid from the mechanical seals in conventional centrifugal pumps, which could lead to acid spraying.)
Fluorinated magnetic pumps can be used to transport 98% acid with absolutely no leakage
It’s in use; it’s been running for a long time with few problems.
Magnetic drive pumps and canned motor pumps can both be used; for most parameters, magnetic drive pumps are more energy-efficient and have higher efficiency than canned motor pumps.
