Direct answer

LibertyCES has documented High-Temperature Water-Powered Dosing Pump in Food/Beverage/Biological Process Fluids service, including sodium hydroxide, phosphoric acid and nitric acid. Wetted materials to confirm: Metal-free wetted path. Documented models include Dosatron D14T high-temperature family and Dosatron D132 Mega-Flo. Compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature and duty cycle, so confirm with a free spec review.

Materials documented for this service

  • High-temp elastomers and seal compounds rated for thermal cycling
  • Metal-free wetted path (key D14T versions) — specifically for NaOH and PAA service

Install / Failure Note

Dosatron's own D14T literature names the real failure mode directly: manual dilution drift, where hot water and hand-mixed chemistry can have correct temperature, contact time, and mechanical action while concentration still drifts.

CIP chemistry runs through four distinct temperature/concentration windows in a single wash cycle — caustic at 160-180°F, acid at 140-160°F, sanitizing rinse at 171°F, foam cleaning at 110-140°F — and Dosatron's D14T publishes real numbers for all four because the actual failure mode isn't temperature or contact time, it's concentration drifting when hot water meets hand-mixed chemistry.

Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
