The Manufacturing Process

Safely and efficiently manage sodium hydroxide in your production process

Sodium hydroxide (also known as caustic soda) is used across various industries and applications, from chemical production to refining and cleaning processes. The viscosity of caustic solutions can range from water-thin to more viscous, depending on concentration and temperature. we source pumps specifically designed to handle the challenges of caustic solutions, ensuring optimal safety, chemical resistance, and precision at every step.

Unload sodium hydroxide from storage tanks

Arroyo Process Equipment provides chemical transfer pumps like the Viking 327A Series to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of sodium hydroxide from storage tanks to processing units. Our pumps are designed to handle a variety of viscosities, ensuring smooth and reliable performance regardless of concentration.

Move sodium hydroxide to processing systems

Our chemical metering pumps, including the Viking 8127A Series, offer precise and controlled transfer of sodium hydroxide to mixing or processing systems, ensuring the proper flow rate and reducing the risk of leaks or chemical exposure. Maintaining a steady flow is critical in ensuring accurate chemical mixtures and efficient processing.

Move processed caustic to blending or refining stations

Once sodium hydroxide has been processed, it needs to be transferred to blending or refining stations for further use in chemical production or refining. Viking pumps, such as the 4124A Series, ensure efficient transfer, maintaining the required flow rate while minimizing wear from the caustic solution.

Transfer caustic solutions for packaging or storage

The Viking 4127C Series offers precision control when transferring processed caustic solutions to storage tanks or packaging lines. These pumps ensure accurate handling, reducing the risk of spills or chemical damage to equipment.

Move caustic waste byproducts to disposal systems

Handling caustic byproducts safely is essential to maintaining compliance with environmental standards. Our chemical feed pumps are designed to transfer caustic waste to disposal systems with minimal risk of leaks or spills, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance throughout the waste management process.
