Pitbull pneumatic displacement pumps are the low-maintenance industrial pump of choice for the chemical and petrochemical industries, and are widely used for chemical sumps, tank farm sumps, caustic sludge filter-press, and explosion-proof environments. This positive displacement petrochemical pump is resistant to process and waste stream fluids used in the chemical and petrochemical industries, ranging from cyclohexane to sulfuric acid. It’s simple pneumatic displacement design can handle low/high pH, slurries, debris, trash, abrasives, hot condensate, sludge or other viscous materials. Our industrial positive displacement petrochemical pump has a hollow chamber design with full pipe diameter passageways, ensuring that solids and sludges won’t get clogged. The pneumatic design principle doesn’t require impellers, diaphragms, seals, or electric motors, allowing debris to easily move through the pump. Other conventional pump technologies may clog and wear due to the thick, abrasive materials found in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
