By Geoff VanLeeuwen, PE Introduction Plant operators expect pumping systems to be reliable, robust and resilient, especially in high-volume, heavy-duty chemical fluid-transfer applications. In reality, however, pumping systems are often […]
Introduction Looking back, there were probably safer and less stressful times to launch a fuel-distribution business in Spain than the late 1980s. Spurred in part by the death in 1975 […]
A seal can be exposed to a wide variety of operating conditions—sometimes very different from conditions the seal was intended for—which can cause issues down the line. However, even if […]
Here are some quick guidelines to maintain your pump properly, ensuring you get maximum pump life possible. It is important to ensure the pump stays FULLY submerged at all times. […]
Introduction When determining the level of performance of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps, choosing the correct air motor is generally the most important choice the user will have to make. Also […]
The workflow presented here describes the fast and cost-effective optimization of an axial pump with modern software tools. Motivation Turbomachinery design is still very complex and time-consuming if it is […]
By John Wallace, Sales Director US & Canada, Diaphragm Group | PSG® Introduction When Jim Wilden invented, in 1955, the air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumping principle, it’s no exaggeration to say […]
Gravity Sewer Systems Conventional gravity sewer systems collect wastewater from homes and transport it to a collection line by allowing gravity to force the flow of liquid and solids. There […]
Contributor: Carver Pump Vertical cantilever pumps are centrifugal pumps designed in a way where the impeller is “cantilevered” from the motor and baseplate (a cantilevered structure is one that is […]
Typical selection criteria for centrifugal pumps are their design data (flow rate or capacity Q, discharge head H, speed of rotation n and NPSH), the properties of the fluid pumped, […]
