Key chemicals and pumps list
Below is a list of key chemicals used in industrial applications. These are not only used in the chemicals processing industry but also as ingredients, reagents or to assist the process such as sanitation of a production line or neutralizing process effluent.
Each fluid has a brief description of common pumping considerations and recommendations.
- Acetic Acid
- Acetone
- Ammonia
- Brine
- Caustic Soda/Sodium Hydroxide
- Ethanol
- Ferric Chloride
- Glycol
- Hydrochloric Acid
- Hydrofluoric Acid
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Lime/Calcium Hydroxide
- Nitric Acid
- Peracetic Acid
- Phenol
- Phosphoric Acid
- Potassium Hydroxide/Caustic Potash
- Sodium Hypochlorite
- Sulphuric Acid
- Titanium Dioxide
- Urea
- Zinc Oxide
These are meant as a guide only as many chemicals are available in a variety of concentrations, as compounds and used at different temperatures and pressures. These variables can drastically change a pump specification and for that reason we strongly recommend contacting us with the process conditions and fluid duties that are particular to your site.
