Metering pumps of hydraulically actuated diaphragm type have been used in the reprocessing plants for many years. The most frequent problems with such pumps have been the diaphragm rupture. Use of filters on the pumped streams and modified suction piping have reduced their recurrence. Alternate solution transfer modes utilising the airlift principle and flow-metering devices have been developed.
