Centrifugal Pump |
With the increase in the number of
different types of industries, the need for centrifugal pump has been increased manifold. This is because a
centrifugal pump is one of the most suitable devices to carry fluids from one
place to another. Moreover, it is one of the most popular kinetic pumps used in
industries for chemical process. They are very economical to use, operation is
easy and ideal for maintenance.
As far as the operations are concerned,
the amount of liquid or fluid that will pass through the centrifugal chemical
process pump and the other specifications are taken care of by the process
engineer. He is the person responsible for deciding about the property of the
liquid that will flow through, the density, pressure, viscosity, and above all
the flow rate. The flow rate will generally decide how much the capacity is of
the centrifugal pump.
Centrifugal Pump |
Centrifugal pumps are generally made of inert or torpid materials. Since these
pumps are able to transfer liquids that are even highly corrosive, they are
extensively used in several industries dealing with chemical processing,
pharmaceuticals, electroplating, and effluent handling industries. Aside from
corrosive liquids, these pumps have also been extensively used for the transfer
of industrial wastes, suspensions, and sea water.
There are 2 ways to identify a good
centrifugal chemical process pump and that is no matter how much you subject
these devices to highly corrosive material, they will not wear out due to
friction. As a result, if it does not wear out easily, the depreciation will
also be less.
