Chemical Dosing Pumps

This depends upon material compatibility with the specific chemical, the installation type and whether the chemical is clean or contains solids. However, peristaltic, AODD and magnetic drive pumps are popular chemical industry pumps thanks to their seal-less design, as are chemical barrel pumps due to how such fluids are generally stored.

A chemical dosing pump, otherwise known as a chemical metering pump, is designed to very precisely deliver a specific quantity of a chemical to a container, tank or fluid stream at controlled intervals. They are particularly popular in the water treatment industry.

Thanks to their accuracy at low flow rates, peristaltic pumps, diaphragm pumps and lobe pumps are most commonly used in chemical dosing systems.

Yes this is absolutely something to consider for chemical transfer pumps! A material’s resistance to a chemical can change depending on the concentration of the chemical and the temperature. For example, Hastelloy C is compatible with Sulphuric Acid at 98% concentration and up to 60°C, but at 80% Hastelloy C is only compatible up to 20°C.

We would need to cross check compatibility of the materials of all chemicals you wish to pump, but it is possible. If you are pumping multiple different liquids or where cross contamination is not desirable we suggest using the F310 or F430 chemical drum pumps.
