Pump Applications

API Process Pumps - API process pumps are designed to meet the 610 standard set by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

Boiler Feed Pumps - Boiler feed pumps are built to control the amount of water that enters a boiler. They are centrifugal pumps, and most are multistage.

Borehole Pumps - Borehole pumps are made to pump liquid from a borehole.

Chemical Pumps - Chemical pumps are built to handle abrasive and corrosive industrial materials. They can either centrifugal or positive displacement type.

Circulator Pumps - A circulator pump is used to circulate fluid through a closed or looped system. They are usually centrifugal pumps, but a few use positive displacement technology.

Dewatering Pumps - A dewatering process involves using a centrifugal pump (submersible or vertical turbine) to remove water from a construction site, pond, mine shaft, or any other area.

Drill Pumps - Drill pumps are pumps powered by attaching an electric power drill.

Drum Pumps - Drum pumps are used to empty fluid from barrels or drums. They can be a small centrifugal pump used for thin liquids or for more viscous fluids a progressive cavity or piston pump can be used.

Fire Pumps - Fire pumps are a type of centrifugal pump used for fire fighting. They are generally horizontal split case, end suction or vertical turbine.

Flooded Suction Pumps - Flooded suction pumps use a suctioned chamber that is always full of the fluid being pumped.

High Pressure Pumps - High pressure pumps are used in many applications including water blast, hydro-mining, and jet cutting. They can be a wide variety of pumps types including positive displacement pumps, rotary pumps and reciprocating pumps, or centrifugal pumps.

Industrial Pumps - Industrial pumps are used in industrial applications such as slurry, wastewater, industrial chemicals, oil and gas, etc. There are dozens of different industrial pumps both in positive displacement and centrifugal pump types.

Irrigation Pumps - Irrigation pumps are usually some form of centrifugal pump type. They are often used for agriculture application where water needs to be moved from a water source to dry land.

Marine Pumps - Marine pumps are used to pump sea water. They are often used in large salt water tanks to continuously circulated water so it stays fresh.

Mixed Flow Pumps - Mixed flow pumps incorporate the features of both axial flow pumps and radial flow pumps. Axial flow pumps operate on a vertical plane and radial flow operate on a horizontal plane to the flow direction of water.

Mud Pumps - Mud pumps are built to transfer heavy sludge or mud. Some larger mud pumps are used to pressure. They are sometimes used on oil rigs to pressurize and circulate fluid.

Paint Pumps - Paint pumps are built to dispense paint, either for direct application or into a separate paint container. They are used in many applications including electric paint sprayers.

Petrochemical Pumps - Petrochemical pumps are made to transfer petroleum products that are often very viscous and corrosive. Petrochem pumps can be magnetic drive pumps, diaphragm pumps, piston pumps and others.

Pneumatic Pumps - A pneumatic pump is a type of pump that uses compressed air to pressurize liquid through the piping system.

Pond Pumps - Pond pumps are used in gardens, fish pools, ponds, and fountains to prevent water from becoming stagnant. The two main types include submersible pumps and external pumps.

Pool Pumps - Pool pumps are used to circulate the water in a pool.

Pressure Pumps - Pressure pumps are used to create either high or low pressure. Pressure pumps can be metering pumps, and sometimes booster pumps.

Process Pumps - Process pumps are many times centrifugal pumps or positive displacement pumps used in process applications. The type of pump and construction details vary depending on the process in which these pumps are used.

Pump Companies - Pump companies both manufacturer and sell pumps. Those companies can be pump manufacturers, pump distributors or pump representatives.

Pump Distributors - Pump distributors are business that sell pumps, made by pump manufacturers. Pump distributors are private businesses that often sell several different product lines.

Pump Manufacturers - Pump manufacturers are businesses that research, engineer, test, and manufacturer pumps. Some pump manufacturers sell direct, and some also utilize pump distributors and reps to sell and service their pumps.

Pump Suppliers - Pump suppliers sell and service pumps. Pump suppliers can include pump distributors, pump reps, or pump manufacturers.

Sanitary Pumps - Sanitary pumps are a type of pump used to transport fluids that must be processed for sanitary standards. Sanitary pumps are designed to meet regulatory requirements.

Sewage Pumps - Sewage pumps are considered submersible pumps and they are mostly used to pump sewage to a waste treatment facility.

Sludge Pumps - Sludge pumps are used to pump waste fluids with high solids content. Sludge pump can be positive displacement pumps (progressive cavity pumps) or centrifugal pumps.

Slurry Pumps - A slurry pump is a heavy duty pump that is made to pump thick, abrasive slurries. Slurry pumps are made of durable materials, and capable of handling abrasive fluids for long periods of time.

Solar Pumps - Solar pumps are pumps powered by the sun. Solar pumps can be PD pumps or centrifugal pumps.

Sprinkler Pumps - Sprinkler pumps work within a sprinkler system. Sprinkler pumps are the mechanism that creates pressure to move the water through the system.

Transfer Pumps - Transfer pumps are used to move a fluid from one receptacle to another. They are used in residential, commercial or agriculture applications where a fluid needs to be moved from one tank to another.

Trash Pumps - Trash pumps are a type of pump used to handle fluids containing solid content such as mud, trash, fish, or waste products. Trash pumps are also referred to as grinder pumps, chopper pumps, or sludge pumps.

Utility Pumps - Utility pumps are submersible pumps used to remove water from an area, often times after a flood. Utility pumps are used in industrial, residential and agricultural applications.

Wastewater Pumps - Wastewater pumps are used to move wastewater toward or within a wastewater treatment facility.

Water Pumps - A water pump is equipment used to move water through a piping system. Water pumps rely upon principles of displacement, gravity, suction, and vacuums to move water. Water pumps can be both positive displacement pumps or centrifugal pumps.

Well Pumps - Well pumps are used to draw water to the surface from an underground water source. Depending on the well depth and configuration, well pumps can be jet pumps, centrifugal pumps, or submersible pumps.
