Sandpiper’s S1F Non-Metallic Containment Duty AODD Pump has been designed to withstand highly corrosive and hazardous chemical fluids. The containment duty pumps are designed with containment chambers, hydraulically balanced/coupled pumping diaphragm and driver diaphragm assemblies. The containment chambers are designed to accommodate visual, mechanical and low-voltage leak detection devices. The Containment Duty Pumps are constructed of a materials such as Aluminum, Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Alloy C, Polypropylene and PDVF with TPE (thermal plastic elastomers), PTFE options in 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 for clean up and material recovery. On top of the concerns, there will be costs of downtime, lost productions, manpower, equipment replacement, disposable 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 considered important to the products escape into the environment, the cost of these loss 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 the diaphragm fail. The Containment Duty Pump is able to prevent all these losses 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 its scheduled maintenance.
