Is it possible? If so, how? If someone has already addressed it, please post a link.

The ALC has multiple 0-10VDC outputs which could control DC pumps. How exactly to do it, and if it is possible, depends on the specific pump.
 
DC pump controller are bit more sophisticated than LED drivers. Most dc pump controllers use BLDC (brushless dc motor control) and bemf (back electromotive force) aware ICc. If the DC pump allow passing external control signal (thus not using the control signal as primary power source) it might be ok,
