Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps in USA

AODD Pumps Powering Industrial Operations Across USA

Pumps in industrial facilities throughout the USA must perform a specific way regardless of the environment that they are in. Are you transporting a corrosive chemical product in a Gulf Coast facility? Are you transporting wastewater in a municipal treatment facility? Are you pumping viscous materials at an industrial manufacturing facility? Regardless of what type of material you are moving, reliable and efficient pumping must be considered in order to ensure that a facility can run continuously.

Teryair manufactures air-operated diaphragm pumps that have been designed to efficiently meet the demands of today’s modern industrial facilities. Our products are constructed for long-term operation, providing you with confidence that you can pump fluids with little to no downtime due to pump failure. Your company will benefit from reduced operating costs, improved process efficiency, and peace of mind when pumping difficult-to-handle fluids.

What Is The Reason For Using Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps (AODD)?

Many industries use this because they can handle a wide variety of difficult pumping conditions that standard pump types cannot. There are several factors why air-operated diaphragm pumps are chosen over other pumping equipment when a manufacturing facility uses abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, liquids with solids, or viscous materials as the media being pumped.

Powered by compressed air, these pumps eliminate many of the limitations associated with traditional pumping systems. Their seal-less construction, self-priming capability, and ability to run dry make them highly effective for challenging industrial applications.

Teryair’s air-operated diaphragm pumps are engineered to deliver dependable fluid transfer while helping facilities lower maintenance requirements and improve operational uptime.

Supporting USA’s Key Industries

Across America, industrial plants have many types of pumps, and the pumps used in the US must operate effectively across many different processing conditions. Teryair builds pumps that meet your specific needs across multiple industries.

Chemicals And Chemical Manufacturing

Many chemicals are used in a variety of ways in industrial processes, and the pump needs to be able to handle various types of liquids like acids and solvents, etc., safely and effectively. Our pumps are made for this everyday use and at the same time allow for reliable operation of your process.

Water And Wastewater Treatment

The types of pumps used in municipal and industrial WWTP’s have to be able to handle a number of types of fluids, including sludge, wastewater, treatment chemicals, and materials with a high amount of abrasive material in them. Teryair has pumps specifically developed to allow for reliable continuous operation of these critical applications.

Oil And Natural Gas Industry

Pumps used throughout oil and natural gas facilities are subject to a high level of stress due to the conditions they experience daily (fluid transfer or injection). Teryair pumps are designed and manufactured to withstand these high-stress conditions.

Food/Beverage Processing Industry

The food and beverage processing industry depends on producing consumable products with consistent quality and efficiency. Teryair pumps are designed to help you transfer products while providing a consistent quality to your customers.

Mining Operations And Aggregate Processing

Traditional pumps can wear out faster due to abrasives and particle-filled fluids found in mining processes. Teryair’s pumps are designed to withstand these harsh environments and continue to perform well over time.

Paints, Coatings, And Adhesives

Diaphragm pumps are an excellent option for the transfer of thick or viscous (non-Newtonian) products such as coatings and adhesives because they can transfer the materials without altering the quality of the final product.

Built For Challenging Fluid Transfer Applications

Industrial processes often involve fluids that require specialized pumping technology. Teryair’s AODD pump solutions are designed to handle a wide range of process media, including:

  • Corrosive chemicals
  • Abrasive slurries
  • High-viscosity liquids
  • Wastewater streams
  • Solids-laden fluids
  • Paints and coatings
  • Adhesives and sealants
  • Industrial process chemicals

The versatility of an AODD pump allows facilities to standardize pumping solutions across multiple applications while reducing maintenance complexity.

Choosing The Right Material For Your Pumping Applications

Every pumping application has different needs associated with them. Selecting the right material to construct the pump is critical for achieving long-term performance and reliability from the pumps you use. Teryair builds pumps from all of these different materials, including:

  • Aluminum
  • Stainless Steel
  • Polypropylene
  • PVDF
  • Conductive Polypropylene

In applications where there is extreme chemical aggressiveness involved, a PTFE diaphragm pump will provide excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals when used in service. This pump type produces an efficient diaphragm system that is highly durable and has good compatibility for the demanding chemical transfer process applications.

A properly specified PTFE diaphragm pump will provide an extended service life, improved operating reliability, and lower maintenance costs.

Benefits Of Teryair Pump Solutions

Industrial plants typically use air-operated diaphragm pumps due to the operational benefits associated with them, which also lead to improved productivity and reliability.

  • Self-Priming Operation: The pumps can transfer fluids without the need for complicated priming processes, allowing for easy startup and operation.
  • Dry Run Capability: Unlike most traditional pumps, these systems do not suffer from excessive damage when operated in a dry condition.
  • Seal-less Construction: The construction of the pump is without mechanical seals, so that it has a low risk of leakage and little maintenance is needed.
  • Solid Handling Abilities: Most applications involve solids in fluid, and traditional pumping technologies have difficulty handling these solid situations. Teryair pumps were designed for these types of applications.
  • Variable Flow Rates: Operators can adjust the flow rate for changing production rates and process requirements.
  • Safety of Operation: Compressed air-powered systems are often preferred in applications where the use of electrical equipment may not be safe.

Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump Technology Explained

Double diaphragm pumps function by using pressurised air to drive two diaphragms in alternating cycles. As the diaphragm moves back and forth (reciprocating motion), it creates a suction stroke and then a discharge stroke to move fluid through a pump and into the piping system.

Air operated diaphragm pumps can use any kind of fluid or material that has the ability to create negative and positive pressure through diaphragm strokes. The design also reduces the wear of seals and rotating parts, which contributes to diaphragm pumps’ continued use throughout many large-scale facilities in the US. Diaphragm pumps are also commonly used in transferring chemicals, wastewater, coatings and other process fluids, so this type of pump technology is often used in very tough environment.

Minimize Operating Costs And Downtime

Downtime costs the industry money by delaying the production schedule and adding to the overall operating cost. The maintenance staff in any industrial facility needs to be able to quickly inspect, service, and get equipment back into service as soon as possible.

Teryair’s air-operated double-diaphragm pumps have been designed with maintenance efficiency in mind to simplify servicing and minimize the time spent on repairs. Serviceable parts are easily accessible for the maintenance technician to perform routine inspections and replace diaphragms without causing excessive disruption. As a result, equipment is available for longer periods of time, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing overall operating efficiency.
