Chemical industry

Processes within a chemical plant are often complex and demanding applications for pumps. The medium being pumped contains chemical components such as acids or alkaline solutions, but may also contain toxic compounds. This places high, and more importantly, specific demands on the chemical resistance, reliability, safety and ease of maintenance of the pumps.

In addition to various pumps in different grades of stainless steel (AISI 304, AISI 316, SuperDuplex SAF 2507), we also offer specific pumps made of plastic and even pumps made entirely of non-metallic mineral cast (bonded silicon carbide, with extremely high wear resistance and virtually inert to acids, bases and chlorides).

For safety reasons, a “zero leakage” design with a magnetic coupling is often selected to prevent emissions or health risks.

ATEX is also often applicable to liquids and/or hazardous zones where there is a risk of fire or even explosion.

Thanks to the many years of experience of IB-Pompen and our suppliers in the chemical industry, we can always offer the right pumping solution, whether it concerns a simple centrifugal pump for a small installation or an application-specific pump with a magnetic coupling or made from an inert material.
