Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sodium hydroxide dosing pump?

A sodium hydroxide dosing pump is a specialized chemical metering pump designed to accurately deliver controlled quantities of caustic soda (NaOH) into process systems. These pumps feature corrosion-resistant construction and precise flow control mechanisms to handle the highly alkaline and corrosive nature of sodium hydroxide solutions safely and efficiently.

How does sodium hydroxide unclog drains?

Sodium hydroxide unclogs drains through a chemical process called saponification, where it breaks down organic materials like grease, hair, and soap scum by converting fats into water-soluble soaps. The strong alkaline properties dissolve protein-based blockages and emulsify fatty substances, making them easier to flush away with water.

What is the main purpose of sodium hydroxide?

Sodium hydroxide serves multiple industrial purposes including chemical manufacturing as a base reagent, water treatment for pH adjustment and neutralization, pulp and paper production for lignin removal, soap and detergent manufacturing, food processing for cleaning and pH control, and metal processing for surface treatment and cleaning applications.

What happens if you breathe in sodium hydroxide fumes?

Breathing sodium hydroxide fumes can cause severe respiratory irritation, including burning sensation in the nose and throat, coughing, difficulty breathing, and potential lung damage. Immediate effects include throat irritation and respiratory distress. Proper ventilation systems and personal protective equipment are essential when handling NaOH to prevent inhalation exposure.

What materials are best for sodium hydroxide pumps?

Optimal materials for sodium hydroxide pumps include stainless steel grades like SS316L and SS304 for moderate concentrations, exotic alloys like Hastelloy and Nickel for extreme conditions, and fluoropolymers such as PVDF and PFA for superior chemical resistance. Material selection depends on concentration, temperature, and operating conditions of the specific application.

How do I maintain a sodium hydroxide pump system?

Regular maintenance includes checking mechanical seals for wear, inspecting pump casing for corrosion, monitoring bearing conditions, flushing systems after use to prevent crystallization, replacing wear parts as needed, and conducting periodic performance testing. Proper maintenance schedules and use of compatible lubricants are essential for reliable operation in caustic service.
