Allflo Pumps was engaged by a chemical processing facility to deliver a safe and robust solution for transferring diluted nitric acid and sulphuric acid.
The system needed to pump acidic waste into a pipeline shared by multiple pumps discharging into a common header, creating risks around corrosion, pressure variation, and potential leakage. Strict safety and containment standards also had to be met.
Allflo designed and manufactured a custom-engineered acid handling pumpset, tailored to the application.
The solution included:
Remko 316 stainless steel self-priming pumps
Full 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
A heavy-duty stainless steel base
Installation within a stainless steel bunded area for spill containment
Custom stainless steel pipework and valves, fabricated and installed on site
The pumpset was commissioned successfully and is operating as specified:
Flow rate: 18 litres per second
Discharge pressure: 220 kPa
This project demonstrates Allflo’s capability to deliver engineered pumping solutions for corrosive and high-risk trade waste applications, where safety, reliability, and material selection are critical.
If you’re managing acidic trade waste or chemical transfer, Allflo can design a solution to suit your site and compliance requirements.
