Changes in the operation of piping systems – like valve closures or pump starts – propagate pressure waves that travel at acoustic velocity throughout the fluid. These pressure waves have […]
Basic Principle The radial vanes cause pumpage, let’s say water, to rotate in the cylinder. Centrifugal force moves water towards the outside of the cylinder. Since the water can’t move […]
The air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump has been a godsend for operators in the industrial space who need a cost-effective, reliable, and safe pump technology for a wide range of liquid-transfer […]
Long packing life requires proper packing installation, shaft stabilization, and thorough equipment inspections. By David Brewer The stuffing box of a pump houses a gland that compresses the packing used […]
Leading maintenance in a plant, mine, or mill takes a lot of effort. Emergency work comes in a steady stream, some are breakdowns, and other work is just “honey-do-jobs.” The […]
This is an overview of the implementation steps in a typical Preventive Maintenance (PM) improvement project. Most of the processes can be applied to a greenfield process. In fact, that […]
Pumps and compressors are essential devices used in a wide range of industrial plants and buildings. They are the power source that make it possible to transport fluids in a […]
Advanced seal technologies for CCUS and sCO2 applications support energy transition initiatives Companies increasingly are prioritizing energy transition initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions known to cause climate change. They’re […]
Hydra-Cell Seal-less Pumps provide accurate and reliable custody transfer of crude oil, produced water, and NGL’s. They feature a compact design, require minimal maintenance, and are energy efficient. Hydra-Cell pumps […]
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) will play a pivotal role as companies transition from coal and oil to cleaner energy sources during renewed efforts to significantly reduce the greenhouse gases that […]
Carlsberg brewery wants to cut its water use by 50% by 2030. The initiative, Zero Water Waste, is part of Carlsberg’s Together Towards Zero program. In its production facility in […]
