Question

Types of pumps and for which process  which types of pumps are required?

Accepted Answer

Different types of pumps are required for different processes, such as centrifugal pumps for water treatment and positive displacement pumps for oil and gas.

Centrifugal pumps are used for water treatment and circulation
Positive displacement pumps are used for oil and gas processing
Diaphragm pumps are used for chemical processing
Peristaltic pumps are used for pharmaceutical and food processing
Gear pumps are used for lubrication and hydraulic systems

Accepted Answer

Centrifugal pumps
Used for high flow volumes, these pumps have a varied flow that depends on the size and type of piping.

Diaphragm pumps
Also known as AOD pumps, these pumps use pneumatic pressure and are often used in places where power is unavailable or combustible materials are present.

Submersible pumps
These pumps sit in a sump, or an area where water or other fluids accumulate, and pump the fluid elsewhere.

Gear pumps
These volumetric pumps use gears to suppress fluids, such as oil.

Piston pumps
These volumetric pumps are used to move fluids under high pressure.

Peristaltic pumps
Also known as tube pumps or hose pumps, these pumps use a rotating mechanism to compress and release a flexible tube or hose.

Screw pumps
These pumps use a single or multiple screw arrangement to move fluids across its axis line. They are often used in industrial applications such as fuel injection, oil burners, and hydraulics.

Progressive cavity pumps
These pumps can pump in and out various fluids with thin, as well as thick consistencies. 
 
When choosing a pump for a specific application, it is important to consider the pump's efficiency, which refers to the amount of mechanical work required to move a particular volume of fluid.
