326 <strong>Centrifugal</strong> <strong>Pumps</strong>: <strong>Design</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Application</strong><br />

Ferrous <strong>and</strong> Ferric Chloride<br />

This is a byproduct from acid pickling of iron <strong>and</strong> steel. It is us<strong>ed</strong> for<br />

etching reagent in copper clad print<strong>ed</strong> circuit boards, for electronics, or<br />

as a chemical coagulant for water treatment on waste water. The pumps<br />

are either titanium or vinyl ester.<br />

Chlorinat<strong>ed</strong> Hydrocarbons<br />

Chlorinat<strong>ed</strong> hydrocarbons are us<strong>ed</strong> to produce PVC, chloroform, carbon<br />

tetrachloride, solvents, flame retardants, insecticides, adhesives,<br />

Pharmaceuticals, metal cleaning, <strong>and</strong> dry cleaning. The pumps are usually<br />

316 or ductile iron.<br />

Ethylene <strong>and</strong> Propylene Glycol<br />

Ethylene glycol is permanent antifreeze. It is also us<strong>ed</strong> in alkaline resins<br />

for coating in brakes, shock absorbers, <strong>and</strong> latex paints. Propylene<br />

glycol is us<strong>ed</strong> in the manufacture of unsaturat<strong>ed</strong> polyester resins. It is<br />

us<strong>ed</strong> to make cellophane, tobacco moisture retention material, brake flu*<br />

ids, <strong>and</strong> food additives. These pumps are either 316 or ductile iron.<br />

Synthetic Glycerine<br />

It is us<strong>ed</strong> for making resins, cosmetics, cellophane, tobacco, food beverages,<br />

<strong>and</strong> explosives. The pumps can be nonmetallic material.<br />

Corn Syrup<br />

Us<strong>ed</strong> in corn oil process. Usually 316 or nonmetallic materials.<br />

Dyes<br />

Us<strong>ed</strong> for such things as the ink in ball point pens <strong>and</strong> dying silk <strong>and</strong><br />

wools. Usually nonmetallic pumps.<br />

Pesticides<br />

Insecticides such as malathion for controlling insects; herbicides for<br />

controlling plant growth. These materials are solvents <strong>and</strong> nonmetallic<br />

pumps are usually not suitable for this application.
