Recently, a customer needed some help with a pump installation problem. They had bought a liquid ring vacuum pump but commissioned their own skid unit. Their hardware was experiencing premature corrosion and the service liquid supply was irregular causing inconsistent vacuum capability which in turn made the process time longer.
A liquid ring vacuum pump needs a constant feed of liquid to make the ‘liquid ring’, pulling down to low vacuum means that the service liquid needs to be at a controlled temperature of 15’C to draw a maximum vacuum and so the need for heat exchangers is very often part the installation.
The system has been designed specifically to work with liquid ring vacuum pumps mounted on a skid unit. The skid functions as an air-water separator, maintaining operating temperatures that are extremely low and constant thanks to an externally powered heat exchanger built into it. The level of service liquid on the centre line of the pump guarantees safe start-up and smooth operation, even under low vacuum conditions.
The Hydropack System offers is a complete compact “plug and play” package which has an integrated vessel for partial liquid recovery, heat exchanger, separation chamber, and instrumentation to keep the system water at the correct temperature to enable the pump to deliver optimum performance and remove vapour from the air being extracted from the process.
The system is compatible with many pump size options, giving a maximum capacity of 800 m3/hr, with 30kw drives and vacuum levels down to 33 mBar, and can be modified with a variety of components to meet your application’s needs:

We are delighted to announce that CDR Pumps has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Chemicals Northwest Supplier to the Chemical Industry Award 2026.
Being shortlisted is a fantastic recognition of the work our team does every day to support the UK chemical industry with innovative, reliable and safety-focused pumping solutions….
A long-term customer, who operates within the chemical manufacturing industry, approached us because they needed to modernise and improve control over their tanker unloading processes. Their existing systems operated by either using the “blowing method” or relying on pumps mounted on the tankers and weren’t particularly reliable, consistent, or safe, especially when it comes to handling aggressive chemicals such as 96% Sulphuric Acid and 50% Hydrogen Peroxide.
Chemical pumps improve the performance of your fume scrubbers!
It’s a bold statement, but true. Industrial ventilation plays a key role in workplace safety and regulatory compliance in manufacturing plants. Industries like chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and metalworking rely on robust (and reliable) ventilation systems to remove harmful fumes, particulates,…
