Pumps for the Chemical Industry

The chemical industry is in great demand for pumps that provide efficient performance while protecting employees and the surrounding environment. Finding these pump solutions is a constant concern for manufacturers who handle aggressive acids and other hazardous compounds that are not only toxic, but often highly flammable, explosive and expensive.

PSG® provides pumps, systems and expertise in transferring your critical and valuable fluids in the safest, most reliable and efficient manner. Our technologies can be found in multiple applications with a wide array of chemical resistant materials, flow rates, temperature ranges and connection porting options.

Chemical Safety with Different Pump Technologies

There is a number of pump technologies that may have some advantages in certain applications, but when handling hazardous or aggressive chemicals, pump performance attributes usually must include most or all of the following:
