Air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps are a trusted workhorse across industries—from chemical processing to wastewater management—thanks to their ability to handle challenging fluids, solids-laden slurries, and corrosive materials. Their straightforward design, self-priming capability, and ability to run dry make them ideal in countless applications. Yet, despite their reliability and versatility, AODD pumps come with two persistent challenges: excessive noise and inefficient air usage, often stemming from poor silencer selection.
