S20 – Non-Metallic AODD Pump (Containment Duty)

Sandpiper’s AODD Pump Line, the S20, Non-Metallic Containment Duty AODD Pump was designed to handle highly corrosive and hazardous chemical fluids. The containment duty pumps are designed with containment chambers, hydraulically balanced/coupled pumping diaphragm and driver diaphragm assemblies. The containment chambers are designed to accommodate visual, mechanical and low-voltage leak detection devices. The Containment Duty Pump are constructed of materials such as Polypropylene, PDVF with TPE (thermal plastic elastomers) and PTFE options in diaphragms and check valves.  

Why use containment duty pumps? 

Due to environmental concerns regarding corrosive or hazardous fluids escaping into the environment, a large portion of the time is required to clean up and recover lost materials, manpower, equipment replacement, disposal fees and fines can be excessive. Prevention of these leaks whilst handling these fluids allows for a more efficient operation and avoids the damaging effect of these toxic fluids’ exposure towards the people and the environment. 

When the fluids that are considered important to the products escape to the environment the cost of these losses are significant as its considered losing profit. Even the non-toxic fluids such as water can create a hazardous environment towards the safety of the people working around the surrounding the pump should a diaphragm fails. The Containment Duty Pump is able to prevent all these losses through its system by redirecting the fluid that breached the diaphragm towards a containment chamber that alerts its users through a visual indicator. The pump will be able to maintain its operations until the end of the processing time or until the scheduled maintenance.
