A simple solution for metering corrosive chemicals.
Hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid - these are just a few samples of the chemicals used throughout the world in many industries. They are also chemicals that can shut down processes due to pump failures. When faced with the challenge of installing a mechanical pump in the heart of their process to meter aggressive chemicals, engineers must juggle three complex problems: 1) finding a pump that can withstand their chemicals and run reliably; 2) finding a pump that accurately meters to optimize chemical usage and product yield; and 3) finding a pump that is quick and simple to maintain and operate. Increasingly, process engineers are turning to peristaltic pumps to solve all three problems, reducing lifecycle costs and driving gains in process efficiency.
