AOD or AODD pumps are positive displacement (PD) pumps that can overcome some of the drawbacks of other pumps. They are ideal for flammable environments, using air power instead of electricity. They may be the lowest cost PD pump and most versatile. Unlike most PD pumps, they can handle solids and abrasives better.
AODD Pumps have many advantages that make them one of the most versatile types on pumps. Some advantages are the following:
They can Run Dry without burning the pump out or causing damage to the system.
They are able to Pump solids-laden fluids without damage to the pump or product.
No electricity is required, this means they can be fully grounded.
Low cost compared to other options.
They are Submersible without performance or safety issues.
