Pump Models | Pump Concepts | Pump Applications

Discflo's disc pump is used for pumping the following types of fluids in the chemical, oil and petroleum industries. A more detailed list of applications is given in the table below.

• Shear sensitive chemicals: eg polymer emulsions, latexes, crystals, shear dilatant, shear thixotropic
• Viscous fluids: eg waste sludge, tank bottoms, black beauty, paint skins, oil sludge, asphalt, etc
• Abrasive fluids: eg borax, drilling mud, sand slurries with up to 80% solids, crystals, etc
• Air or gas-entrained fluids: eg crude oil, chemical froths, DAF sludge
• High temperature or pressure processes: disc pumps can be manufactured to API-610, 8th Edition
