Pneumatics is one of the safest ways to drive a pump from an operator point of view. Pneumatics are economical to use when considering other pump technologies currently available for pumping calcifying or crystallizing fluids.

Typically other pump technologies will incorporate some form of seal, rotating equipment using mechanical or packed gland seals, typically in centrifugal, sliding vane, gear, progressive cavity type pump. Piston pumps will suffer from similar limitations.

Seals will always be the wear component within a pump system.
