Air operated double diaphragm (AODD) technology has many benefits for biopharmaceutical processes. Axflow explains how it works and highlights some applications
Over the past half-century the Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pump has evolved into a unique solution for the complex fluid transfer needs encountered within the biopharmaceuticals industry. Because of the critical nature of some processes, inefficient product transfer methods such as manual rolling carts with containers, purging tanks to evacuate product or manual gravity feeding transfers, have been common. However, purpose-designed AODD pumps for this industry now allow further use of pumped transfer processes (and associated production and energy efficiency) approaching the degree already encountered in the general chemical and industrial sectors (see Figure 1).
