Many solids control system employ centrifugal pumps to move fluid through a piping system. These pumps all rely on centrifugal force as the fundamental principle by which they operate. Centrifugal force affects an object or material moving in a circular pattern by causing it to pull away from the central axis or center point of the path along which it travels. This force can be used to regulate the pressure and motion within a pumping unit, and when applied in combination with a number of other centrifugal pumping principles, forms an integral part of hydraulic mechanisms.

Generally, a centrifugal pump is based around a casing filled with fluid, usually water. A special unit within the casing exerts fast rotary motion that causes the water to spin, generating centrifugal force that channels it through a discharge outlet. Discharged water creates a vacuum degasser for atmospheric pressure to force more water out of the casing. It is a continuous process, dependant mostly on continued rotary motion and a constant supply of water. Most centrifugal pumps rely on rotating impellers or vanes to provide rotary motion, though the design and implementation of these systems can vary according to capacity and project requirements.
