Which type of pumps are used in industry? Centrifugal | Gear | Rotary Vane | Magnetic | Piston.

In this video, we explore the various types of pumps used in the chemical industry to handle different fluids, whether they are liquids or gases, corrosive or non-corrosive, viscous or non-viscous. Pumps play a crucial role in chemical processing, water treatment, oil and gas extraction, and wastewater treatment, among other applications.
We discuss the following types of pumps commonly used in the chemical industry:
1. Centrifugal Pumps: Utilizing centrifugal force to move fluids through a piping system, suitable for transferring liquids with low viscosity.
2. Positive Displacement Pumps: Including Gear Pumps, Piston Pumps, Diaphragm Pumps, and Rotary Vane Pumps, each designed for specific applications and fluid types.
3. Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps: Using compressed air to alternate the movement of two diaphragms, ideal for handling corrosive, abrasive, and viscous fluids.
4. Magnetic Drive Pumps: Featuring a magnetic coupling to transfer power from the motor to the pump, suitable for hazardous and corrosive chemicals.
5. Peristaltic Pumps: Using rollers to compress a flexible tube, ideal for pumping shear-sensitive and abrasive fluids.
6. Screw Pumps: Utilizing rotating screws to move high-viscosity fluids along the screw's axis, commonly used in chemical processing and oil and gas industries.
Understanding these pump types is essential for selecting the right pump for specific chemical processing needs, considering factors such as fluid type, flow rate, pressure requirements, and operational considerations.
