Chemical industry
Pumps are important machines in the chemical industry for moving liquids, such as chemicals and fuels. They are available in different types, such as centrifugal pumps, piston pumps and progressive cavity pumps, and are specifically designed to meet the challenges of the chemical production environment.

Pumps for chemical application
The chemical industry is an important and demanding segment of the industry, where the transportation of chemicals and products is critical. Pumps play an important role in the efficient and safe transport of these materials.
There are different types of pumps used in the chemical industry, each with its own specific properties and advantages. Some of the most popular types include centrifugal pumps, suction pumps, dosing volume pumps, and progressive cavity pumps.
A selection of the various types of chemical pumps
Centrifugal pumps are often used for conveying low viscosity liquids such as water and low viscosity chemicals. Suction pumps are suitable for transporting substances with a high viscosity level, such as oils and thick chemicals.
Dosing volume pumps are used for precise dosing of small quantities of chemicals, while progressive cavity pumps are used for transporting substances with a high viscosity level and high pressure.
The most suitable pump
When choosing the right pump for the chemical industry, it is important to take into account the chemical composition of the substances being transported, the temperature and the pressure. It is also important to choose a pump that is resistant to corrosion and wear and that meets the safety regulations and standards in the chemical industry.
Reliability and durability are of great importance in the chemical industry, and the choice of the right pump is crucial. By choosing high-quality and suitable pumps, companies in the chemical industry can optimize their production process, increase reliability and reduce costs.

Advice and sales
The best possible solution for your application
There are many different types of pumps and just as many applications, such as a submersible, circulation or well pump. Due to this diversity of pumps, it is wise to be well informed about what type of pump is required before you purchase one or have it overhauled. The IPG team with various pump experts can always advise you on the best possible solution for your application and can also support you with the purchase and installation of the pump.
IPG has strong relationships with various pump manufacturers and can therefore give you good advice in purchasing many types and brands of pumps. For example, the Industrial Pump Group is the Dutch importer of SAER and official dealer of Lowara, Grundfos and Seepex, among others.

What information is required?
There are a few more factors that companies in the chemical industry should consider when choosing the right pump. Below are some important considerations:
- Chemical resistance: It is important to choose a pump that is resistant to the chemicals being transported and does not cause a reaction with these substances.
- Temperature: Some chemicals have specific temperatures at which they are best transported. It is therefore important to choose a pump that is suitable for these temperatures.
- Pressure: The pressure required to efficiently transport the chemicals varies depending on the substance and application. It is important to choose a pump that meets the specific pressure requirements.
- Installation and maintenance requirements: Some pumps require more installation and maintenance effort than others. Companies in the chemical industry must take this into account when choosing the right pump.
- Safety: The chemical industry is regulated by specific safety regulations and standards. It is important to choose a pump that meets these standards to make transporting chemicals safer.
why each application has specific requirements
The chemical industry is a demanding environment in which the right choice of pump is of great importance. Each application within the chemical industry has its own specific requirements and challenges. It is therefore necessary to choose a separate type of pump for each application, so that it meets the specific requirements.
