Fluid Management Made Easy: Industrial and Consumer Pumping Solutions

 Handling fluids isn’t as easy as many people think.  Many technological and industrial processes would be impossible without pumps! Pumps are useful in moving fluids from one destination to another and come in different types. These are mostly industrial and consumer pumps, industrial pumps are used to move gases, chemicals, and other materials. 

Similarly, consumer pumps are mostly used for irrigation in agricultural applications. Your choice of pump will depend on the type of fluid, flow rate, and pressure, and it’s advisable to acquire superior-quality pumps.

 Here are consumer and industrial pumping solutions that you should know:

1. Industrial pumps

 Industrial pumps are heavy-duty and designed to move different fluids effectively.  You will get different types of pumps from Pumpbiz; these include vertical pumps, positive displacement pumps, diaphragm pumps, centrifugal pumps, slurry pumps, etc.

2. Centrifugal pumps

Centrifugal pumps are common in industrial projects and applications and can move different fluids.  They can move water and corrosive, abrasive, and viscous fluids.  You will get these pumps in applications such as wastewater systems,  paint production companies, the dairy industry, PH control processes, etc.

You can choose single-stage, multistage, self-priming, and double-inlet industrial pumps depending on your type of application. Vertical multistage centrifugal pumps are common in industries where a single-stage centrifugal can’t deliver fluids at extremely high pressures.

On the other hand, double-inlet pumps can move nonhazardous liquids and are common in boilers and cooling towers.

3. Circulation pumps

Circulation pumps are useful in heating and conditioning or ventilation systems, and common in HVAC industries.  They are installed indoors and this is to protect them from harsh weather and other atmospheric influences. They can be thin or thick pipes, and your choice will depend on the type and diameter of your HVAC system. Thinner pipes work with a more powerful circulator while thick ones require a less powerful circulator.

4. Submersible pumps

Submersible pumps are handy in construction, commercial, and domestic applications. They are also useful in industrial and storm water systems and can help pump borehole water, rainwater, food water, and chemicals. You will get them in a wide range of sizes and impeller types and are designed to suit varying fluid viscocities.  These pumps are mounted on top or inside tanks and choosing the right type will ensure excellent performance. 

5. Positive displacement pumps

Positive displacement pumps move fluids in cyclical and measurable amounts by enclosing repeated volumes of liquid in the internal cavity. They come in various types and include gear pumps, diaphragms, gear pumps, and more. Diaphragm pumps are also referred to as membrane pumps and use reciprocating action and feature valves on each side to move fluids.

6. Diaphragm pumps

Diaphragm pumps feature valves on either side and use reciprocating action to move fluids. These pumps are driven by compressed air and are used for dispensing water, paint, and oils.

7. Gear pumps

Gear pumps feature meshes gears to pump water and other fluids at high force. They are ideal for pumping thick fluids and chemicals and are common in the chemical, and food industries.

Final thoughts

There are different types of pumps in the market and some are useful for industrial and domestic applications. You may have difficulties choosing the right um, but should consider your type of application, flow rate, and pressure to determine what suits your needs.
