Chemical Processing Solutions
Aggressive-chemistry pumps, valves, tanks, and piping — plus custom-engineered scrubber systems — for chemical processing plants where material failure isn't an option.
Match the Material to the Chemistry, Not the Catalog
PTFE Diaphragms for Aggressive Chemistry
When elastomer diaphragms fail against aggressive process chemistry, PTFE is the material of last resort that becomes the standard — sourced to real vendor chemical-resistance documentation.
Chemical Transfer Pump Selection
A master specifier's comparison of pump architectures for aggressive-chemistry transfer — matched to fluid, concentration, and duty cycle before a model number gets picked.
Custom Chemical Scrubber Systems
A real HCl scrubber system, custom-engineered for a chemical processing facility — the design decisions and equipment specification behind an actual installed system.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is PTFE required instead of a standard elastomer diaphragm?
PTFE becomes the specified material when standard elastomers (EPDM, FKM, Buna-N) have documented compatibility failures against the specific process chemistry — it is typically the material of last resort that becomes the standard once elastomer options are exhausted.
How does LibertyCES select a pump architecture for aggressive chemical transfer?
Pump architecture is matched to the fluid chemistry, concentration, solids content, and duty cycle first — the specific model is selected only after the architecture (diaphragm, peristaltic, mag-drive, etc.) is confirmed correct for the application.
Does LibertyCES design custom chemical scrubber systems?
Yes — LibertyCES has engineered custom scrubber systems, including a documented HCl scrubber installation, matched to a facility's specific emissions profile and chemistry rather than a generic catalog unit.
What information does LibertyCES need to spec chemical processing equipment?
The specific chemical(s), concentration, temperature, flow rate, pressure, and current equipment (if replacing) — process data first, part number second.
Specifying equipment for aggressive chemistry?
Send LibertyCES the chemical, concentration, temperature, and flow — we'll confirm the material compatibility before you spec a model.
