1. GEAR PUMP - is a type of positive displacement (PD) pump. It moves a fluid by repeatedly
enclosing a fixed volume using interlocking cogs or gears, transferring it mechanically using a
cyclic pumping action. It delivers a smooth pulse-free flow proportional to the rotational speed
of its gears.

2. CENTRIFUGAL PUMP -  is a mechanical device designed to move a fluid by means of the
transfer of rotational energy from one or more driven rotors, called impellers. Fluid enters the
rapidly rotating impeller along its axis and is cast out by centrifugal force along its
circumference through the impeller's vane tips.

3. VANE PUMP -  is a self-priming positive displacement pump providing constant flow at
varying pressures. Operation is via a motor connected to a gearbox as typically the maximum
rpm is 900. The pump is fitted with a relief valve to prevent the pump from building to a
pressure which may damage the pump.
4. SCREW PUMP - is a type of positive displacement pump that uses two or more screws that
intermesh to pressurize fluids and move them in a system. The screws take in fluid then push
it out from the other side while increasing its pressure.

5. RECIPROCATING PUMP -  A positive displacement pump which utilizes a plunger or piston

to change a cavity's volume, and produce a pressure differential. A plunger pump operates
using the reciprocating motion of plungers or pistons. Depending on the design of the pump,
the use of a single or multiple plungers may be used.
