Nobody likes a leaky pump and the unscheduled downtime and increased maintenance needs. When these pumps are moving aggressive acids and slurries, they can leak faster and when they do leak they create an unsafe work environment.
Obviously, the biggest contributor to this problem is how quickly mechanical seals in conventional pumps wear out in these kinds of environments.
An often overlooked alternative is the Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump (AODD). This is because AODD chemical pumps can vary in both quality and effectiveness for this application across the market. However, there are AODD pumps on the market which are ideally suited for pumping hazardous materials.
