Pumps for high-viscosity fluids in the chemical industry need to be specifically designed to handle the challenges posed by thick liquids, such as increased resistance to flow, high energy requirements, and wear. Positive displacement pumps, including gear pumps, progressive cavity pumps, diaphragm pumps, and peristaltic pumps, are often the best choices for handling these fluids due to their ability to maintain consistent flow and generate high pressure. When selecting a pump, it is essential to consider the fluid’s viscosity, temperature, presence of solids, and the required flow rate. By choosing the right pump and maintaining it properly, industries can ensure the reliable and efficient transport of high-viscosity fluids, reducing operational downtime and prolonging the lifespan of their equipment.
