The Role of Process Pumps in Demanding Industrial Environments
In process engineering, process pumps play a vital role by transporting fluids under extreme conditions – from highly viscous chemicals and explosive liquids to abrasive particles. Reliability and precision are essential to maintain production processes and avoid unplanned downtime.
Whether used for transferring aggressive chemicals, in offshore facilities, or in hygienic applications, the robust construction and high precision of KAMAT pumps ensure safe and continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
Customized Process Pumps for Industry-Specific Applications
Depending on the area of use, process pumps must meet a wide range of requirements – from handling aggressive chemicals to managing viscous or abrasive media. Typical application areas include:
- Chemical industry: Conveying corrosive fluids, dosing solvents, and reaction chemicals
- Oil and gas industry: Methanol and glycol injection, offshore operations under high pressure
- Petrochemical industry: Pumping co-monomers, aromatic hydrocarbons, and highly viscous substances
- Food and pharmaceutical industry: High-pressure extraction, hygienic process pumps for sterile fluids
- Steel and metal industry: Descaling, cooling, and cleaning circuits
To meet these diverse demands, KAMAT relies on a flexible modular system. Materials, drives, and pump configurations can be freely combined, allowing each process pump to be perfectly tailored to the specific process technology.
Our pump finder helps you quickly identify the ideal solution. By entering key process parameters such as pressure, flow rate, medium, or temperature, you’ll be guided directly to the pump configuration that fits your application precisely.
