Sandpiper S15 Non-Metallic AODD Pump, Containment Duty Pump

Sandpiper’s S15 Non-Metallic Containment Duty AODD Pump has been designed to withstand highly corrosive and hazardous chemical fluid requirements. Sandpiper’s Containment Duty Pumps are designed with containment chambers, hydraulically balanced/coupled pumping diaphragm and drive diaphragm assemblies. The containment chambers are designed to accommodate visual, mechanical and low-voltage leak detection devices. The Containment Duty Pumps are constructed of materials such as Aluminum, Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Alloy diaphragms and check valves.

Why use containment duty pumps? 

Due to environmental concerns regarding corrosive or hazardous fluids escaping into the environment, a large portion of the time is required to clean up and recover lost materials. On top of the concerns, there will be costs of downtime, lost productions, manpower, equipment replacement, disposal fees and fines can be excessive. Prevention of these leaks whilst handling these fluids, allows for a more efficient operation and avoids the damaging effect of these toxic fluids’ exposure towards the people and the environment.

When fluids that are important to the products escape into the environment the cost of these losses are significant as it’s considered losing profit. Even non-toxic fluids, such as water can create a hazardous environment towards the safety of the people working around the area surrounding the pump should a diaphragm fail. The Containment Duty Pump is able to prevent these losses through its system by redirecting the fluid that breached the diaphragm towards a containment chamber that alerts its users through a visual indicator. The pump will be able to maintain its operations until the end of the processing time or until the scheduled maintenance.

Some of the features of the AODD Pump highlights the advantages of the AODD Pump in its industrial applications;

• The Containment Duty Pumps is equipped with leak detection devices that are designed to accommodate visually, mechanically and electronically for the user’s ease.
• The durable, bolted construction of the S15 is superior to the clamped-band construction pump, providing exceptional leak-free performance.
• Sandpiper’s ESADS+ feature allows access to the Air Distribution System (ADS) without removing the pump from service.
• Repair or clean within 5 minutes (versus 55 minutes for competitors)
• The S15 also has an air-side interchangeability with Sandpiper’s 1″ (S1F), 2″ (S20) and 3″ (S30) pumps to reduce inventory costs.
• The design for the ADS is fully interchangeable, repairable, and inline-serviceable.
