Acid Pumps
Corrisive material pumps for acid and chemicals
Acid pumps are specially made pumps that are used to safely transport acidic and corrosive fluids, including phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid. The materials used in the construction of these pumps are resistant to acid, which helps to avoid corrosion, leaks, and equipment failure while in use.
What Makes a Pump Suitable for Acids?
Corrosion-Resistant Materials:
Plastics: PP (Polypropylene), PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride), PTFE (Teflon), ETFE – ideal for most acids.
Metals: SS 316, Hastelloy, Titanium – used when strength and temperature resistance are needed.
Seal Options:
Magnetic drive (sealless): Eliminates leaks – ideal for hazardous acids.
Mechanical seals: Chemical-resistant variants used in traditional centrifugal or vertical pumps.
Pump Types for Acids:
Magnetic Drive Pumps: Leak-free, ideal for hazardous acids.
AODD Pumps: Air-powered, safe for explosive environments, can handle solids.
Common Acids and Material Compatibility:
Pump material recommended for below Acids
Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄): (below 50% – PP), (above 50% – PVDF), (98% – SS316), (98% & above 100°C – PTFE)
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): PVDF, PTFE, PP
Applications:
Chemical dosing and transfer
Acid unloading from tankers
Electroplating and pickling lines
pH adjustment systems
Acid circulation in scrubbers and reactors
Selection Tips:
To choose the right acid pump, know:
Type of acid
Concentration & temperature
Required flow rate (LPM/M³/hr)
Head (discharge height/pressure)
Installation type: horizontal, vertical, submersible, etc.
Solids presence in the fluid
