Chemical and petrochemical
Plants where the liquid cannot leak and the seal is the component that decides whether the pump is safe as well as whether it works.
In chemical service the seal stops being a maintenance item and becomes a safety one. A leaking seal on a water pump is a puddle; the same seal on an aggressive or flammable medium is an exposure, an environmental report and possibly an ignition source.
Magnetic drive pumps exist for exactly this. Coupling the motor to the impeller through a containment shell removes the dynamic seal entirely, so there is no rotating shaft passing through the pressure boundary and nothing that wears into a leak path.
Typical Applications
- Magnetic drive where no leak is acceptable
- Corrosive duty versions in the centrifugal range
- Material certificates for wetted parts
