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.

Three Problem Types in Chemical Processing

Match the Material to the Chemistry, Not the Catalog

Problem Type 01

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.

Problem Type 02

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.

Problem Type 03

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.

Problem Type 04

Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical Process Fluid Handling

cGMP, USP Class VI, and FDA-compliant equipment — sealless mag-drive pumps, lined ball valves, RO/UF/EDI systems, and sterilizing-grade filtration — for validated process lines where documented compliance credentials matter as much as material compatibility.

FAQ

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.
