Product Overview

The WILDEN AODD pump runs on compressed air, so there is no motor or electrical component on the pump itself. That, together with its ability to run dry and self-prime, is why air-operated diaphragm pumps are common in oil and gas work.

Typical duties

  • Transfer of crude, diesel, lubricants and waste oil
  • Drum and tank emptying, sump and drain duties
  • Chemical transfer and injection at moderate pressure

Choosing a build

  • Body: aluminum, cast iron or stainless steel are the usual choices for hydrocarbons
  • Diaphragms: Buna-N and FKM are common for oils and fuels; PTFE for mixed or aggressive chemicals
  • Grounding: ground the pump and pipework when handling flammable liquids; conductive builds are available

When discharge pressure is high

A standard AODD pump cannot discharge above its air supply, typically up to 125 psi (8.6 bar). For long lines or filter feed, Wilden’s High Pressure series can. Wilden’s sample duty for the 2 inch H800 is 76 L/min (20 gpm) against 8.6 bar (125 psig) discharge pressure using 2.9 bar (42 psig) air.
