Vacuum Pump for Chemical Industry

Professional vacuum pumps engineered for chemical industry applications. Our ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliant centrifugal vacuum pumps handle corrosive chemicals, acids, and volatile solvents with superior reliability. Available in metallic and non-metallic constructions for temperatures up to 350°C and vacuum duties up to 1400 m³/hr. Ideal for distillation, evaporation, and chemical processing vacuum applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of pump is used for most chemical pumps?

Centrifugal pumps are the most commonly used type for chemical applications due to their reliability, efficiency, and ability to handle corrosive fluids. For vacuum applications in chemical processing, centrifugal vacuum pumps with specialized impeller designs and corrosion-resistant materials like titanium, hastelloy, and fluoropolymers are preferred for their superior performance in distillation and evaporation processes.

What is a vacuum in the chemical industry?

In the chemical industry, vacuum refers to reduced pressure conditions used in various processes like distillation, evaporation, crystallization, and drying. Vacuum systems enable lower boiling points for heat-sensitive chemicals, improve separation efficiency, and prevent oxidation. Chemical vacuum pumps create and maintain these reduced pressure conditions while handling corrosive vapors and volatile compounds safely.

Which pump is best for chemicals?

The best pump for chemicals depends on the specific application, but centrifugal pumps with appropriate materials of construction are most suitable. For vacuum applications, metallic pumps in titanium or hastelloy excel at high temperatures up to 350°C, while non-metallic fluoropolymer pumps offer superior chemical resistance. Both should be ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliant for reliable chemical processing operations.

What are the three types of vacuum pumps?

The three main types of vacuum pumps are positive displacement pumps (rotary vane, diaphragm), momentum transfer pumps (centrifugal, turbomolecular), and entrapment pumps (ion, cryogenic). For chemical industry applications, centrifugal vacuum pumps are preferred due to their ability to handle corrosive vapors, high capacity operation up to 1400 m³/hr, and compatibility with chemical-resistant materials.

How do chemical vacuum pumps handle corrosive vapors?

Chemical vacuum pumps handle corrosive vapors through specialized materials of construction and design features. Metallic pumps use exotic alloys like titanium and hastelloy for extreme corrosion resistance, while non-metallic pumps employ fluoropolymers like PVDF and PFA. Advanced mechanical seals, proper venting systems, and corrosion-resistant coatings protect internal components from chemical attack during vacuum operations.

What maintenance is required for chemical vacuum pumps?

Chemical vacuum pump maintenance includes regular inspection of mechanical seals, monitoring for corrosion on wetted parts, checking impeller clearances, and ensuring proper lubrication of bearings. Preventive maintenance should include periodic replacement of seals exposed to corrosive vapors, cleaning of internal passages, and verification of vacuum performance. Proper material selection and design minimize maintenance requirements in chemical service.
