Move process chemicals between storage, mixing and production with a configuration selected for the complete fluid path. DFIN reviews each chemical duty against the actual concentration, temperature and operating conditions.
Typical duties
- Tank and IBC unloading
- Batch charging and vessel transfer
- Process recirculation
Selection priorities
Specify every chemical in the stream, including cleaning fluids. Check the body, diaphragm, balls, seats and seals together. For solvents, include the area classification, grounding and containment requirements.

View technical details →Treatment plants need different solutions for chemical unloading, dirty-water transfer and sludge handling. Define these as individual duties so that solids passage, materials and control requirements are checked independently.
Typical duties
- Chemical unloading and transfer
- Intermittent sludge transfer
- Utility and collection-tank transfer
Selection priorities
Record solids size and concentration, suction conditions and the expected variation in sludge viscosity. Chemical transfer does not establish metering accuracy; a controlled dosing duty needs its own equipment review.

Typical duties
- Ingredient transfer to process vessels
- Batch unloading
- Separate cleaning-fluid transfer
Selection priorities
Confirm food-contact declarations, surface finish, connection design and cleaning requirements for the exact item. A standard industrial pump or a sanitary diaphragm alone does not demonstrate a hygienic assembly.

Typical duties
- Intermittent site-fluid transfer
- Slurry movement between process stages
- Reagent unloading
Selection priorities
Define maximum particle size, settling behaviour and abrasion. Verify the valve passage and suction arrangement from the exact model documentation; not every diaphragm pump can pass the same solids.

View technical details →Energy facilities may need bulk-liquid transfer, drainage and chemical handling alongside high-pressure injection. Each task has different control and equipment requirements, so establish the service before comparing pump models.
Typical duties
- Bulk-liquid transfer
- Drain and recovery tasks
- Process-chemical unloading
Selection priorities
State the fluid composition, temperature, area classification and grounding requirements. Pneumatic drive does not by itself establish hazardous-area certification. Injection and accurate metering require separate review.

- Dedicated cleaning-fluid transfer
Selection priorities
Specify restricted metals, purity limits, particle properties and sensitivity to shear or air. Review every fluid-contact component, cleaning requirements and any hazardous-area documentation. These examples are not battery-grade certifications.
