Glycol (Ethylene Glycol, Ethylene Alcohol)

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring ethylene glycol and ethylene alcohol due to their ability to handle a wide range of viscosities and maintain a consistent flow rate, regardless of system pressure. These pumps work by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and displacing it through the pump's discharge, making them highly effective for handling liquids like ethylene glycol and ethylene alcohol that may exhibit varying flow characteristics under different temperature conditions. Additionally, positive displacement pumps offer superior control over flow rates, which ensures precise handling and accurate metering of these substances within industrial processes. Their design also minimizes shear forces, reducing the risk of degrading sensitive fluids during transfer, thus maintaining the quality and efficacy of the compounds being transported.

U.S. EPA Bans Natural Gas-Driven Pumps
A new EPA rule, published December 2, 2023, covering new and existing oil and gas operations, requires the use of zero-emissions pumps instead of natural gas-driven pumps, with very few exceptions. It also restricts other natural gas-driven equipment, limits fugitive emissions and calls for reduced flaring of associated gas
