Phosphoric Acid Pump Solutions

Advanced centrifugal pumps engineered for safe phosphoric acid handling with superior corrosion resistance. Our ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliant designs feature exotic alloys and fluoropolymers for reliable pumping of concentrated phosphoric acid up to 1200 m³/hr capacity and temperatures up to 350°C. Ideal for fertilizer production, rust removal, metal treatment, and chemical processing applications requiring acid-resistant materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can phosphoric acid go down the drain?

No, concentrated phosphoric acid should never be disposed of down the drain without proper neutralization and treatment. It can damage plumbing, cause environmental harm, and violate wastewater regulations. Proper disposal requires neutralization, dilution, and treatment through approved waste management systems or licensed facilities.

What is the problem with phosphoric acid?

Phosphoric acid is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns to skin and eyes. It damages metal surfaces, creates toxic fumes when mixed with other chemicals, and poses environmental risks if not properly handled. Industrial handling requires specialized acid-resistant pumps, appropriate PPE, and proper ventilation systems.

How long does phosphoric acid take to remove rust?

Phosphoric acid typically takes 15-30 minutes to remove light rust, while heavy rust may require 2-24 hours depending on concentration and application method. The acid converts rust into a water-soluble phosphate that can be easily removed. Processing time varies based on acid concentration, temperature, and rust severity.

What are the drawbacks of phosphoric acid?

Drawbacks include high corrosivity requiring specialized materials, potential health hazards from fumes and contact, environmental concerns from improper disposal, equipment corrosion leading to maintenance costs, and the need for careful handling procedures. These challenges require investment in proper pumping systems and safety equipment.

What materials are best for phosphoric acid pumps?

Best materials for phosphoric acid pumps include SS316L stainless steel, Hastelloy-C, and fluoropolymers like PVDF and PFA. These materials offer superior corrosion resistance to phosphoric acid's aggressive nature. Material selection depends on concentration, temperature, and specific application requirements for optimal pump performance and longevity.

How do I select the right phosphoric acid pump?

Select phosphoric acid pumps based on acid concentration, operating temperature, flow rate requirements, and system pressure. Consider material compatibility, seal arrangements, and maintenance accessibility. ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliant designs with appropriate metallurgy or fluoropolymer construction ensure reliable performance in demanding phosphoric acid applications.
