About AODD Pump – 3 Industrial Uses and Applications



AODD pumps (also known as Air operated diaphragms pumps, pneumatic diaphragm pumps, AODD pumps, AOD pumps) are used for endless applications in mining, industrial and general plant service. Powered only by compressed air, they are especially used where electricity isn’t available, or in explosive or flammable areas.

AOD pumps are a type of reciprocating diaphragm pump which contains two diaphragms driven by compressed air. Air section with shuttle valve applies air alternately to the two diaphragms, each diaphragm has a set of check/ball valves.

Chemical & Refineries:

AODD Pump can handle all types of chemicals including acids, bases, solvents and alkalis, resins and adhesives, high-density liquids and viscous products even with the presence of solid parts and particles. Moreover, they can also transfer oil skimming, oil sludge, storm water, seawater, drainage water, latex, corrosion inhibitors, fertiliser, pesticides, insecticides and more.

The AODD Pump finds application in pumping of raw materials and derivatives, storm water drainage, unload trucks, sump and tanks drainage, empty the cistern and to be used in waste water treatment, desalination plants, scrubber’s application, distillation plant and filters press.

One of the less obvious reasons that AODD pumps are selected is the range of chemicals that can be transferred, injected, batched or filled during a process or application. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of configurations for AODD pumps to handle almost any chemical. A typical AODD original equipment manufacturer (OEM) might have as many as 1,700 viable configurations based on size, wetted material, elastomeric options, center body and hardware materials.

Waste Water Treatment:

In the water treatment industry, diaphragm pumps are used in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants. Some fluids that are put into the pumps from wastewater treatment plants are high in viscosity and require pumps that can handle those liquids. Air operated double diaphragm pumps also help to pump polymers, acids, caustics and slurries during the water treatment process that are used to treat water.

Food & Beverages:

Air operated double diaphragm pump are used in the food and beverage industry for various food processing application. This pumps can be used for transferring food products like tomato pulp, chocolate, soft drinks, ham pulp, vinegar, pet food, yeast, eggs, vegetable oil, honey, vitamins, glucose syrup, concentrates, decaffeination, wine, fruit pulp, fruit juice, rennet, aromas and more.

Moreover, diaphragm pumps can be used also for pumping chemicals like caustic soda, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, antioxidants and brine and waste products like animal blood, waste water and sludge. They find application in the food processing, CIP (cleaning in place) plants, and waste water treatment and slaughtering.

PERISTALTIC PUMPS

Peristaltic pumps have numerous utilizations in industry, however their most basic use is for high accuracy & purity applications. The reason these pumps are favored for high virtue applications is that the material being pumped is kept to the cylinder. The pump never contacts the material and the material never contacts the pump. This shields the pump from tainting the material and it additionally shields the material from sullying the pump. Peristaltic pumps are utilized frequently for applications including metering, apportioning and exact general transfer. Since these pumps offer the uncommon blend of Purity and accuracy, they are the preferred pumps in numerous applications that incorporate the dosing or exchange of chemicals and added substances for semiconductor, pharmaceutical and nourishment/food applications. Since the materials are bound to the tubing, peristaltic pumps just require negligible upkeep How do Peristaltic Pumps work? Peristaltic pumps got it...

Benefits of Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps

Understanding the Benefits and Applications of Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps An air operated double diaphragm pump (AODD) is a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air as the source of energy to move liquids. It consists of two flexible diaphragms that separate the pumping chamber from the air inlet and outlet. The air pressure causes the diaphragms to expand and contract, creating suction and discharge strokes that move the liquid through the pump. One of the key benefits of AODD pumps is that they are self-priming and can operate in both wet and dry conditions. They are also capable of handling liquids with high viscosities and solids, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, they are simple in design and require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution for many industrial applications. AODD pumps are commonly used in a variety of industries, including chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and water treat...
