Alcohols

alcohol plant

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring alcohols due to their ability to handle a wide range of viscosities and their precision in delivering consistent flow rates regardless of the pressure conditions. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and forcing it through the discharge pipe, making them particularly effective in maintaining the integrity of volatile and sensitive fluids like alcohols. Additionally, their robust design reduces the risk of cavitation, ensuring that the alcohol is transported without undesirable frothing or turbulence. Their ability to maintain consistent pressure and flow also helps in minimizing the risks of contamination and degradation, making them a reliable choice for industries that deal with alcohols, such as the beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors.

Universal Mag Drive, The Sealless Upgrade That Prevents Leakage and Fugitive Emissions
Viking Pump invented, patented and manufactured the very first sealless mag drive rotary positive displacement (PD) pumps in the world, and developed several series over time for different applications, including the first generation 825, 895 and 855 ™ internal gear pumps. Of these first generation mag drive pumps, all had different footprints from their dynamically-sealed cousins with...

Viscosity Through Thick and Thin
Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow. And you don’t need to work in a laboratory to observe this. Anyone who’s spent any time in the kitchen has observed a variety of liquids with a wide variety of viscosities.
