AODD pump and its industry application

AODD pump and its industry application
2
Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) pumps use
compressed air as a power source to move fluids.
A particular amount of pressure (measured in
pounds per square inch) and air volume (measured
in cubic feet per minute) are needed to operate
an AODD pump. AODD pumps are capable of
performing in most applications under the most
challenging conditions. When in operation, there
is air pressure on the entire surface of the
diaphragm, which removes mechanical stress from
the operation, keeping it in a balanced
condition. As a result, the diaphragms in an AODD
pump last longer as compared to mechanically
operated pumps. The simplicity of the design of
AODD pumps allows operators to find the correct
pressures and flows for an optimised operation.
Since AODD pumps are operated without
electricity, there are no chances of sparks or
electric shocks during operation. This makes AODD
a safer pump alternative.

Where is the AODD pump used?
AODD pumps are used in various industries. They
are very popular in the wastewater and sewage
treatment industries. Because of their
self-priming capabilities, AODD pumps are also a
natural choice in industries where one needs to
lift fluids from a lower level. At the same time,
AODD pumps are also used in sectors where fluids
are to be pumped over long distances.

Advantages of AODD Pumps
Long life Since AODD pumps run on air pressure,
there are only a few wet parts. The dry operation
allows the pump to run for a long time without
any significant wear and tear. Self-priming Since
AODD pumps are capable of evacuating air from
the suction line and starting pumping without the
need for any manual priming, they are considered
reliable, especially when the operator has to
work with a suction line that may contain gases
or air. Can handle various kinds of fluids AODD
pumps can work with fluids of different densities
and viscosities, such as solid-laden fluids,
abrasive liquids, and corrosive chemicals.
5
Adjustable flow rates As mentioned above, AODD
pumps allow users to adjust flow rates (between
19 and 1,100 litres per minute) and pressure by
regulating the air pressure supplied to the pump.
This feature comes in handy for industries that
require operators to constantly change pressure
and flow owing to, say, changes in the texture
and density of fluids. Easy installation Because
of the simple design of two diaphragms that
perform under compressed air and a minimum number
of moving parts, AODD pumps are compact and
easily portable. These pumps do not require a
fixed power source, which adds to their
flexibility. Safety AODD pumps are designed to
offer easy leak detection and containment. And if
the diaphragm ruptures, the fluid is contained
within the pump chamber, eliminating any risk of
spilling.
6
Versatility AODD pumps can be customized based
on the requirements of various operators. From
clean water to harsh chemicals and sewage, they
can be used with various kinds of fluids. It is
to be noted here that the pump material is very
important when it comes to operating different
kinds of fluids. For example, while handling
water, a metallic pump may react to strong acids,
so a plastic pump would be a better idea.
7
Industries that use AODD pumps include
automotive, ceramics, chemicals, construction,
marine, mining, oil and gas, paints and coatings,
pulp and paper, and water treatment. However,
choosing the right AODD manufacturers in a market
full of suppliers can be really challenging for
operators across industries. While making the
decision, it's important to consider the
reliability, lead time, maintenance package,
after-sales service, and on-time delivery records
of the suppliers.
