Como o ácido se trata de um fluido extremamente perigoso, é fundamental escolher uma bomba pneumática de diafragma que entregue segurança e versatilidade dentro da sua operação. Por esse motivo, o seu processo de escolha deve levar em consideração diversos fatores para que a sua operação se mantenha segura e que a sua indústria consiga entregar produtividade e proteção ambiental.
A chemical industry needs to follow several safety standards so that the environment and the health of employees are protected and regardless of the type of fluid that is pumped. The equipment used must be chosen based on strict security protocols, taking into account all protection requirements to be followed by the company.
Furthermore, product leaks represent a huge loss for the industry, making it necessary to adopt equipment that helps pump safely and with the lowest possible risk of leaks. In this sense, having quality equipment it will help increase the durability of products and ensure that the industry can achieve superior results.
Where are pneumatic diaphragm pumps used for pumping acid fluid?
Pneumatic diaphragm pumps are equipment designed to deal with different types of abrasiveness, corrosiveness and viscosity. These pumps can handle different acids, such as:
- Sulfuric acid;
- Citric acid;
- Muriatic acid;
- Phosphoric acid;
- Nitric acid;
- Acetic acid;
- Chromic acid;
- Hydrochloric acid;
- Hydrofluoric acid;
- Between others.
Using the right pump allows your industry to safely handle a wide variety of acids, as well as various solvents, fuels, pharmaceutical products, paints, and much more for this reason, before choosing equipment, it is essential to analyze all the characteristics of your operation to determine the best equipment to deliver safety and versatility.
How are acid bombs developed?
To be able to pump this type of fluid safely and efficiently, acid pumps can be made from different materials. The main acid pumping solutions are made up of:
- Polypropylene: this material is highly resistant to most alkaline and acidic solutions and can be applied in operations with fluids up to 70ºC.
- PVDF: Thermoplastic polymer pumps have a wide range of temperature resistance, being able to operate from -10° to 100°C, resisting aggressive products
- PTFE: these pumps are highly resistant to abrasive and corrosive products, being able to pump strong acids.
Before choosing your pump, you must consult the compatibility table in order to determine which construction material is most suitable for the product that will be pumped in your operation. Once this choice is made, acid pumps are able to provide a lot of versatility for their operation, being able to handle fluids in a wide range of viscosity, without the need for electricity to operate.
Another great advantage is that pneumatic diaphragm pumps can handle different fluids safely, enabling easier maintenance. This way, this operation remains active without the need for constant interruptions.
