Transferring sulfuric acid is no ordinary task. It’s one of the most corrosive and aggressive industrial chemicals in use today—and it demands the right pump for safe, consistent handling. That’s why MultiTorque supplies and services high-performance sulfuric acid transfer pumps designed to operate under extreme conditions without breaking down or leaking.

Whether you’re unloading from IBCs, transferring between tanks, or dosing into a chemical process, we’ve got the equipment and expertise to keep your operation flowing safely.

What Is a Sulfuric Acid Transfer Pump?

A sulfuric acid transfer pump is a chemical-resistant pump engineered specifically to move concentrated or diluted sulfuric acid without degrading or reacting with the fluid. It must resist corrosion, handle the fluid’s viscosity, and operate without leaks or exposure.

Common industries that use these pumps include:

• Mining and mineral processing

• Fertiliser production

• Water and wastewater treatment

• Battery manufacturing

• Chemical plants and storage facilities

• Metal processing and pickling

Sulfuric acid can destroy conventional pumps within hours if the wrong materials are used—so choosing the right pump and configuration is critical.

Key Design Requirements

To handle sulfuric acid safely, your pump must include:

1. Chemical-Resistant Materials

Standard metals won’t survive sulfuric acid. We supply pumps made from:

• PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride)

• PTFE (Teflon)

• Polypropylene

• ETFE-lined steel

• 316 Stainless Steel (for diluted acid at lower temperatures)

We’ll match the material to your specific acid concentration and temperature range.

2. Sealless or Leak-Proof Construction

Sulfuric acid is hazardous if exposed to air. Magnetic drive (mag drive) pumps are often preferred because they eliminate mechanical seals and reduce the risk of leaks. For applications requiring sealed pumps, we use high-grade elastomers like Viton, EPDM, or Kalrez.

3. Compatibility with Your Flow Requirements

Concentration, viscosity, temperature, and transfer distance all matter. We assess your site’s head pressure, flow rate, and duty cycle to specify a pump that won’t burn out or corrode prematurely.

Pump Types for Sulfuric Acid

We supply, service, and repair various sulfuric acid-compatible pump types:

• Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Pumps – Ideal for sealless, leak-proof performance

• Air Operated Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps – Great for batch transfers, loading/unloading

• Peristaltic Pumps – Suited for dosing and high-viscosity acid transfer

• Vertical Chemical Pumps – Good for sumps, pits, and tank-mounted applications

Not sure which one suits your system? We’ll spec it out for you.

Common Sulfuric Acid Pump Applications

• Transferring from IBCs, drums, or bulk tanks

• Dosing into water treatment processes

• Circulation through pickling baths or acid washers

• Battery manufacturing and electrolyte handling

• pH correction and chemical mixing systems

We also offer custom-built pump skids and mobile transfer units for field deployment or plant use.
