Pumps for chemical industries
22/03/2023Aggressive liquids, acids and strong acids are commonly used in various processes of the chemical industries, including manufacturing and wastewater treatment.
The corrosive nature of these substances cause severe damage to operators and equipment, including pumps, if not handled correctly. This can lead to unplanned downtime, costly repairs, and accidents, making it crucial to choose the right pump for the job.
Being a player of the chemical industry ourselves, we understand the risks associated with transferring these substances. ARGAL pumps are designed to withstand harsh environments and handle corrosive substances, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
