UP20 in stainless steel for transferring nitric acid

An innovative company dedicated to the development and production of advanced nanomaterials — such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and high-purity nanoparticles — for scientific, industrial, and technological applications, was facing a critical challenge. They needed to empty large nitric acid tanks, a highly corrosive fluid, and were searching for a solution with strong suction power, chemical resistance, and durability to ensure a safe and efficient process.

Challenges to solve

1

Safe and efficient transfer of nitric acid.

2

A pump capable of withstanding the aggressiveness of the fluid over time.

3

Finding a robust pump able to operate in demanding environments.

This is how we face the project

A Samoa Pivot Series UP20 pump was installed, entirely constructed in stainless steel: body, air motor, and seats. Thanks to its full stainless-steel construction, the pump effectively withstands nitric acid and ensures a long service life. Additionally, its high suction capacity allows the tanks to be emptied without pressurizing them, reducing operating costs and increasing process safety.

The solution

Installing the stainless-steel Samoa UP20 pump has been key for this cutting-edge nanotechnology company. Its power, chemical resistance, and durability have enabled the implementation of a safe and efficient system, ensuring continuity of the production process.

As results they get:

  • Outstanding chemical resistance: full compatibility with nitric acid.
  • Operational safety: no fluid leakage thanks to the robust bolted design. The pump is ATEX-certified for operation in demanding environments.
  • Greater efficiency: transfer of large volumes without interruptions.
