Significance of Diaphragm Pumps in the Chemical Industry

by Sweta Shah HR Executive in Ambica Machine Tools
Chemical pumps are made of materials that can tolerate high viscosity, corrosion, and abrasion. Pumps that can handle these chemicals without triggering production halts or pump failures are much in demand in the chemical industry. 

The chemical industry experiences various safety as well as economic challenges occurring from health implications caused by leakages during production, product contamination, and much more. Chemical industries need diverse product portfolios to mitigate the complex production needs such as an air operated double diaphragm pump. 

Specifications

Matching a pump's flow and pressure rating to the flow rate and pressure required for the process is referred to as sizing a pump for the operating parameters. When choosing a pump, the required flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute (LPM) is an essential consideration.

Diaphragm pumps can perform between 0 to 280 GPM, i.e, 1060 LPM. Such control in flow rates is impossible to achieve in other pumps. Furthermore, self-priming pumps by Ambica Machine tools -  India’s largest manufacturer of AODD pumps are the most reliable in the market. 

Benefits of AODD pumps

Air operated double diaphragm pumps are the most commonly used pumps in the chemical industry apart from others like centrifugal pumps, metering pumps, chemical process pump and more. The most significant benefits of AODD pumps are:

  • Adaptability
  • There is no electricity.
  • Chemical resistance is outstanding.
  • A wide range of viscosities is available.
  • Deadhead in a safe manner

Talking of AODD pumps by Ambica Machine Tools, their special features range as follows:

  • The pumps can run empty for an infinite period of time without causing damage.
  • There aren't any shaft seals or gland packing.
  • Adjusting air pressure allows for infinitely variable flow and discharge pressure from 0 to the pump's maximum. A single pump may do a wide range of tasks.
  • The operation is gentle and non-shearing.
  • The pump stops instantly when the discharge is clogged or shut; no energy is wasted, no heat is generated, and no wear is incurred. Upon reopening the discharge, the flow resumes naturally.
  • Submerged or flooded suction operation.
  • From a dry start, it self-primes.
  • Up to 100 PSI of pressure (7 bar.)
  • There are no close-fitting, sliding, or spinning components that can manage a wide range of high-solids-content fluids.
  • Wear is reduced by a low internal velocity.
  • Split clamp bands allow for quick assembly and removal.
  • Pumping at high temperatures is possible.
  • Without the usage of a pulsation dampener, the discharge flow is quiet and consistent.
  • In explosive settings, this product is safe to use.
  • There are no electrical dangers, and no expensive motor and control equipment is required.
  • There is no pressure relief or bypass available.

In final words, AODD pumps are one of the simplest and most convenient choices widely available and applied in chemical applications.
