PFA lined Gear Pumps Meet The Challenge At lower Cost

From Chemical Online: Safely transferring aggressive liquids, such as inorganic acids, bases and salts, requires a pump with features including non-metallic wetted parts and characteristics such as zero leakage.

In meeting these challenges, Liquiflo have developed their range of magnetically driven PFA lined gear pumps which avoid the expense associated with pumps made from expensive alloys or exotic metals.

Available through Michael Smith Engineers, Liquiflo PFA lined stainless steel pumps are ideally suited to handling chemicals that are difficult to handle such as hydrochloric acid, ferric chloride, sulphuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sodium hypochlorite, nitric acid and chromic acid. They are also a good choice for high purity applications where media contact with metallic components must be avoided.

Green Pumping Equates to Green Savings with Smith and Loveless Pump Stations

News from Smith & Loveless Inc.: A recent wire to water efficiency comparison of Smith & Loveless (S&L) pump stations versus leading submersible and self-priming pumps prove that S&L Pumps save significantly on power demands and associated CO2 output emissions, thus preserving precious fuels and the environment.

The study measured efficiency, horsepower draw and metric tons of CO2 emitted per year based on typical operating conditions for four-inch pumps. The results show the importance of pump efficiency differentials in terms of annual power use and resulting impact on the environment.
