The processing of hot and concentrated sulfuric\n\t\t\tacid presents significant challenges due to the extreme corrosion,\n\t\t\terosion, and wear of materials.<\/p>\n
To address this, our representative \nLewis\u00ae Pumps<\/a><\/strong> has developed highly\n\t\t\tcorrosion-resistant equipment and materials, such as their range of\n\t\t\tpumps, valves, and alloys, which have proven their effectiveness in\n\t\t\tsulfuric acid applications for over a century.<\/p>\n The LEWMET\u00ae<\/strong> alloy, specifically\n\t\t\tdeveloped for these applications, stands out for its optimal\n\t\t\tresistance to corrosion, wear, and abrasion.<\/p>\n Hardened to 500 Brinell, it can operate in 98%\n\t\t\tsulfuric acid at temperatures up to 140\u00b0C as a general rule and even\n\t\t\tin concentrations of 99.5% and 240\u00b0C, withstanding high speeds and\n\t\t\tabrasives.<\/p>\n This makes it ideal for critical components such\n\t\t\tas impellers, wear rings, and shaft sleeves in centrifugal pumps\n\t\t\tthat must maintain dimensional integrity in aggressive environments.<\/p>\n The pumps have a vertical design that prevents\n\t\t\tthe acid from contacting external parts, increasing operational\n\t\t\tsafety against potential leaks, a common problem in horizontal\n\t\t\tdesigns from other manufacturers.<\/p>\n Additionally, valves made with LEWMET\u00ae<\/strong>\n\t\t\tare resistant to turbulence, abrasion, and corrosion, giving them a\n\t\t\tprolonged service life and consistent flow control.<\/p>\n Lewis\u00ae<\/a> pumps and\n\t\t\tvalves ensure superior performance in demanding sulfuric acid\n\t\t\tapplications.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span>\n Contact us<\/a><\/p>\n
