This document discusses different types of pumps used in the pharmaceutical industry. It describes pumps as devices that move fluids from a low pressure area to a high pressure area by mechanical means. Pumps are classified as either dynamic or positive displacement pumps. Dynamic pumps include centrifugal pumps such as peripheral, mixed flow, and axial flow pumps. Positive displacement pumps include reciprocating pumps such as piston and diaphragm pumps as well as rotary pumps such as gear, lobe, sliding vane, and screw pumps. The document provides examples of applications for each type of pump.

2. Pump in API Pharma:
A device that moves fluids one to another place by mechanical action,
typically converted from electrical energy into Hydraulic energy. E.g.
Fluids like solvents, reactant chemical as RM, sludge, slurries
It Moves the fluid from low pressure to high pressure by adding energy.
Basic principle is that vaccum in the inlet of pump due to pump internal
operation and pump pushed the liquid into discharge side.
Generally pump is rated by its maximum pressure and maximum flow at
a given speed.

3. Pump in API Pharma:
Pumps can be classified as:
Dynamic Pumps
Positive Displacement Pumps

4. Pump in API Pharma:
 Dynamic Pumps:
 Centrifugal
 Peripheral
 Mixed Flow
 Axial Flow

5. Pump in API Pharma:
 Dynamic Pumps Application:
 Peripheral: boiler feed pumps for small boilers, as pressure boosting pumps,
car wash pumps, as pumps for the chemical industry and for all applications
in which low flow rates have to be pumped at high pressure
 Mixed Flow: used in applications requiring a high level of flow combined
with relatively low discharge pressure. There are a number of industrial
applications where this type of pump can be useful. They are also used to
help propel watercrafts, such as jet skis.
 Axial Flow: used in applications requiring very high flow rates and low
pressures. They are used to circulate fluids in power plants, sewage digesters,
and evaporators. They are also used in flood dewatering and irrigation
systems.

6. Pump in API Pharma:
 Positive Displacement Pumps:
 Rotary Pump
 Plunger | Piston
 Diaphragm
 Gear
 Lobe
 SlidingVane
 Screw

7. Pump in API Pharma:
 Positive Displacement Pumps:
 Reciprocating Pump
 Piston
 Diaphragm

8. Pump in API Pharma:
 Positive Displacement Pumps Applications:
Reciprocating Pump:
Piston: : Oil and gas, Chemical processing, Food
processing, Mining, Paper and pulp manufacturing, Soap
manufacturing, Wastewater treatment etc.
Diaphragm: used to push liquids like corrosive chemical, volatile
solvents, viscous, shear-sensitive foodstuffs, pharma product, sticky
fluids, dirty water, smaller solids, creams, abrasive slurry, oils, and
gels.

9. Pump in API Pharma:
 Positive Displacement Pumps Applications:
 Rotary Pump:
 Plunger | Piston: High-Pressure Cleaning, Water Hydraulics, Oil
Hydraulics, Descaling, Process Technology, Metering Systems,
Biotechnology, Hydraulic Pressure Testing etc.
Diaphragm: They can handle sludges and slurries, air pumps for
the filters on small fish tank
Gear: used commonly on lower viscosity fluids where a constant
flow is required at high pressure such as feeding Chocolates, fats
and oils, Resins and polymers, Bitumen and tar Fuel and
lubricants, Solvents, Soap etc.

10. Pump in API Pharma:
 Positive Displacement Pumps Applications:
 Rotary Pump:
Lobe: pulp and paper, chemical, food, beverage, pharmaceutical,
and biotechnology
Sliding Vane: Fuel and light oil transfer, Lubrication,
Gasoline/petroleum, LPG gas (propane), Chemical handling,
Alcohols and solvents, Bitumen transfer, High temperature fluids,
Liquefied gases
Screw: are used for transport of viscous fluids with lubricating
properties. They are suited for a variety of applications such
as fuel-injection, oil burners, boosting, hydraulics, fuel, lubrication,
circulating, feed etc.
