Refined fuels are separated from crude oil at the refinery. They include kerosene-based jet fuels, fuel oils, diesels and gasolines, and their liquid characteristics vary widely.

Reclaimed Asphalt is asphalt paving that has been removed from roadways and milled or crushed into fine particles which can be added to virgin asphalt cement to create new Hot Mix Asphalt. The use of Reclaimed Asphalt Paving (RAP) improves the economics of roadways by reducing the amount of asphalt binder, aggregate, and mineral filler needed to make new Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), while simultaneously eliminating the need to landfill waste demolition materials, making it both a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution.

Sulfur is commonly a byproduct of natural gas and oil refining. It may transported and used as a solid, but when heated, molten sulfur provides advantages in transportation and industrial process applications.

Massecuite is a mixture of raw sugar crystals and liquor made by seeding supersaturated cane or beet juice prior to crystallization and the removal of the molasses by centrifuging.  It contains a high concentration of abrasive sugar crystals. 

Liquified gases present many pumping difficulties including very low viscosity and lubricity, low specific gravity, low temperatures and require special sealing arrangements due to high inlet pressure. 

Positive displacement pumps, including close-clearance internal gear pumps and vane pumps are well suited to handling certain liquified gases due to their low NPSHr, low temperature metallurgy options, high pressure capabilities, resistance to vapor lock and many available sealing arrangements. 

Latex is the generic term for emulsions of polymer in water that is stable. These emulsions can be natural or synthetically made. This liquid is typically very shear-sensitive and requires care when pumping. 

Heat transfer fluids (HTF), also known as heat transfer oil (HTO) or hot oil, is used for transferring heat from a heater to an point of use such as chemical reactors or injection molding, as well as in food applications like bakeries.

Glycols are alcohols with unique properties, such as a high boiling point and good water solubility, that makes them attractive in many industries. Common examples include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol. 

Filled asphalts contain particulate and are used to manufacture asphalt roofing. The filler material improves durability and fire resistance of the shingle. Pumping filled asphalt requires special construction and operation to minimize abrasion, prevent leakage and extend pump life. 

Cold ethanol extraction is a common method for extracting oils from plant materials. Due to its polarity, ethanol is chilled to subzero temperatures to avoid extracting additional, less desirable water-soluble molecules.

In this application biomass is placed in vessel and cold ethanol solvent is pumped in. The desired oils are rapidly dissolved in this solvent. Unlike hydrocarbon solvents, ethanol has no risk of leaving toxic residual chemicals in the product, which is especially important if for human consumption.
