Why pump technology matters in redox flow battery systems

Why pump technology matters in redox flow battery systems

Following Hendor’s recent presentation at IFBF, one thing became clear once again: redox flow battery technology is developing rapidly, and every component in the system has an important role to play.

In many discussions around long-duration energy storage, much attention goes to stacks, membranes, electrolytes and power electronics. Yet pump technology also plays a critical role. Pumps keep the electrolyte moving and can influence system reliability, serviceability, energy use and long-term performance.

For Hendor, flow battery applications are a natural extension of the markets we have been serving for decades. Since 1948, we have been developing and manufacturing chemical-resistant pumps and filtration systems for industries where aggressive media, continuous operation and process reliability are part of daily practice.

Experience in demanding chemical applications

Hendor’s background is rooted in electrochemical and chemically demanding processes. Our pumps and filtration systems are used worldwide in applications where material compatibility, robust design and dependable performance are critical.

This experience allows us to support customers working on flow battery systems with practical pump knowledge and application-specific advice. Rather than looking at a pump as a standalone component, we help customers evaluate pump technology in relation to the process conditions, system design and long-term operational requirements.


Pump technology for flow battery systems

Flow battery applications require reliable circulation of electrolytes in chemically demanding conditions. Depending on the system layout and process requirements, different pump concepts may be suitable.

Hendor supports customers with chemical-resistant pump solutions, including magnetic drive pump technology for demanding circulation applications. Magnetic drive pumps can be relevant in systems where containment, chemical resistance and reliable operation are important considerations.

The right pump choice depends on the specific application. Factors such as electrolyte compatibility, flow requirements, installation layout and service access all play a role in selecting a suitable solution.


Application-specific support

Every flow battery system is different. That is why Hendor works closely with customers, OEMs, system integrators and engineering teams to understand the application before advising on a pump solution.

Our focus is on practical, reliable and service-friendly pump technology that supports the needs of demanding electrochemical systems. With decades of experience in chemical-resistant pumps, Hendor can help customers translate application requirements into a suitable pump concept.
