Chemical Processing

Chemical processing converts raw chemicals into finished products. Plants must move these corrosive and potentially hazardous liquids throughout the process. Blacoh components provide solutions that improve pumping system performance, efficiency, safety, and reliability.

Chemical Processing Pumps
Chemical processing pumps play an integral role in chemical processing plants by transferring fluids between locations. They are specially designed to handle highly corrosive and hazardous materials without material degradation. Examples of chemicals requiring chemical processing pumping systems include:

  • Acetone
  • Benzene (Benzol)
  • Citric acid solution
  • Nitrochlorobenzene
  • Polyethylene glycol
  • Tetrachloroethylene
  • Xylene (Xylol)

Our Chemical Processing Pumping Systems
We manufacture premium components to build complete fluid transfer systems. No matter what types of chemicals and fluids you need to move, our pumping systems can help improve system performance.

  • Back pressure valves: SENTINEL back pressure valves improve pumping system performance through continuous back pressure. They further serve as anti-siphon valves. 
  • Dampeners:  SENTRY pulsation dampeners absorb energy from pressure spikes. This reduces vibration and allows for a smooth flow of liquid chemicals.  
  • Degassing valves:  SENTINEL degassing valves ensure the priming of centrifugal chemical pumps regardless of outgassing or the release of hazardous vapors within the system.  
  • Diaphragm seals:  SENTINEL gauge guards protect sensitive instrumentation from harsh chemicals. They use a chemical-resistant diaphragm to isolate in-line instruments, prolonging their effective lifespan.  
  • Injection quills:  Our SENTINEL injection quills direct harsh chemicals into the center of fluid flow. This helps ensure proper mixing and limits chemical contact with system walls.  
  • Inlet stabilizers:  SENTRY inlet stabilizers serve to even pressure entering the pump, reducing normal spikes and drops in inlet pressure.  
  • Pressure relief valves:  SENTINEL pressure relief valves minimize the risk of damage from pressure spikes caused by blockages or breakdowns. They work by redirecting fluids if the pumping system exceeds a predetermined pressure level.   

Our Manufacturing Processes
Our U.S. manufacturing facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified. As such, we consistently meet industry standards and customer expectations. We use premium materials designed to withstand the harsh chemicals carried through pumping systems. Additionally, we employ LEAN manufacturing processes based on the 5S framework. This ensures standardization of components and allows improved efficiency and productivity.
