A self-priming centrifugal pump is disclosed with a vertical axis adapted for pumping harmful liquids. Such pump embodies fixed body means being closed at its lower end and having a widened upper portion which includes a truncated cone surface. The widened portion acts as a seat. The pump envisions removable means which includes a pump wheel, a cage, and a driving motor with a shaft for the pump wheel and which rests on the seat. The cage of the wheel being provided with at least three generally horizontal partitions which define in conjunction with the pump body a lower suction chamber, a middle delivery chamber, and an upper venting chamber, said suction, delivery and venting chambers being, respectively, connected to a suction pipe, a delivery pipe, and a venting pipe adapted to be connected to an apparatus for the treatment of gases substantially at atmospheric pressure. Also contemplated are sealing means including three separate and generally annular sealing members, each being connected to a corresponding one of said partitions and each separately resting on the seat of said pump body, and an internal lining means between the motor shaft and the upper one of said partitions of said venting chamber for providing fluid tightness between the chambers and the pump body. A safety installation adapted for use in pumping dangerous liquid substances comprises, in combination, protective walls defining an enlarged enclosure, a removable plug member in at least one wall having an opening closeable thereby and having a central aperture therethrough. The installation embodies a centrifugal self-priming pump means having a fixed pump body and removable means operatively connected to said body for pumping liquids and being situated within the protective walls; gas treatment means operatively connected to the pump; means connected to the upper part of the pump and intermediate the pump and the gas treatment means for separating gas from the pumped liquid; and means connected to the pump means through the aperture in the removable plug and operatively connected exteriorly of the protective walls for forcing the removable means downwardly into tighter engagement with the pump body.
