Air driven liquid pumps have long been used in several
essential applications in all industrial processes that require movement of
liquid content efficiently. The application industries include petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals
and a large number of chemical manufacturing setups.
These pumps have started to replace similar components for
several important reasons. To understand this, it is essential that the installation
scenarios should be understood as well. Many industrial processes have ingredients
or final product in liquid form. In order to move this liquid, a series of
pumps is installed at strategic points. The setup and operational parameters of
these pumps are very much dependent on the composition and properties of the liquid.
In the case of corrosive or inflammable ingredients, the process requires
specially fabricated pumps that remain unaffected by the properties of the
liquid. In the case of HAZMAT, the need for continued operation in a safe
environment is critical. Thus, not every pump could be used in these scenarios.
Air
driven liquid pumps offer highly reliable operation that forms the
backbone of the particular industrial process. This reliability is one of the best-known
features of these pumps. Continued performance is made possible because of
simple construction that does not require complicated parts and connections.
Perhaps the most important operational aspect of air driven
liquid pumps is the fact that they do not require electricity to operate. This
is a much-advertised feature because it makes the usage possible in situations
where heat or spark is a real hazard. Since
all the operations are carried out pneumatically, these pumps are ideal for all
scenarios that include inflammable liquids.
The cost of the pumps is another important benefit that
ensures that the managers and process design engineers opt for these pumps in
all possible applications.
