Are you looking for the right pump for your chemical process dealing with corrosive and hazardous liquid? If you choose a pump that is incompatible with your chemicals, then it can result in swelling, dissolving, or brittleness, and lastly, leaking and failing. As a supplier of chemical pumps, we can say that Vertical immersible pumps are one of the best solutions for your needs.
Chemical pumps such as Vertical immersible pumps are designed to be resistant to corrosive and aggressive solutions. These are used to move liquid chemicals at design head. Vertical immersible pumps have a design wherein the motor is not immersed in the fluid that is pumped. These pumps are installed in tanks or pits in places that require flooded suction or priming.
The Vertical immersible pump has several other benefits other than design benefits that make it suitable to use for various applications such as filtration, electroplating, purging, water treatment plants, etc. They are:-
1. Ideal for installation in tanks and sump
The Vertical immersible pumps are ideal for applications in which a self-priming pump is required, such as emptying tanks, sumps, reservoirs, etc. In this type of application, the pump head is immersed within the fluid to maintain a flooded suction. The length of the vertical shaft of the pump can be determined based on the depth of the container.
2. Ideal for handling high-temperature fluids
The corrosive and hazardous solutions are high-temperature fluids and are often responsible for degrading pump seals. In Vertical immersible pumps, its parts are made of PVDF material, reducing thermal expansion at high temperatures. Also, the seals are located outside the fluid, which is not an issue. Due to its flooded suction design, there is no risk of cavitation caused by NPSH.
3. Ideal for installation and maintenance in compact spaces
During many applications, sometimes less space is available for installation and maintenance that involves large suction depths, viscous fluids, volatile fluids, and high temperatures. In such circumstances, a Vertical immersible pump is an ideal option as it requires very little space as they simply sit inside the container from which the fluid is to be transferred and do not require entrance to the pit for maintenance.
4. Appropriate for flammable liquids
In potentially explosive fluids, one cannot immerse the electric motor into it. Hence Vertical immersible pumps with long shafts are ideal alternatives for such kinds of applications dealing with hazardous fluids.
5. It has longer maintenance intervals.
As the motor is not immersed in the fluid, the Vertical immersible pump is less prone to seal and motor failures.
6. No bearing & coupling
Due to which it has less moving parts & so that it does not require periodic maintenance.
Conclusion
The Vertical immersible pumps are hence, suitable for all types of corrosive and hazardous applications. They are useful for applications that include high temperatures, compact spaces, flammable liquids, etc. Also, our immersible pumps can run- dry for an indefinite period offering the best performance constantly throughout the pump’s life and minimizing the operation and maintenance cost.
