Whether processing pharmaceuticals, treating drinking water, or feeding a boiler in a power plant, pumps are among the most extensively used industrial products. Not only do pumps come “in all […]
When selecting a submersible pump model, the question may arise of what type of impeller is best for the application. Many manufacturers offer a variety of impeller designs to fit […]
The AVANT™ MQ Series is a new line of submersible pumps developed by Tsurumi Pump, an industry leader in submersible pumps for over 95 years. The AVANT™ features an FM […]
Introduction There are some things you just can’t avoid: death, taxes, and a pump’s common operational pain points- leaks, dry run, solids handling, cavitation-causing NPSH imbalance operation off the BEP, […]
Author: Mark Savage, FSA Member As operators of pumping equipment become more focused on the safety, reliability and environmental impact resulting from shaft seal leakage, dual mechanical seals have become […]
Almost all centrifugal and rotary pumps require a sealing system to provide sealing integrity of the drive shafts carrying the impellers and protect against pumped fluid leakage and the environment […]
Are you properly tracking infeeds, flows, pressure and viscosity, process efficiency and changes to the pumping subsystem over time? Early detection and proper intervention can protect your motors and pumps, […]
Air entrainment is the introduction of air bubbles into the pump impeller during operation. It differs from cavitation in that the bubbles are air rather than water vapor. It also […]
Identification of recirculation cavitation in the field. By Sound Popping sounds coming from volute are intermittent and inconsistent in both sound level and frequency Sounds begins immediately upon pump startup […]
Over the years, there have been a variety of ways to monitor asset health, but only recently have technologies like wireless connectivity, artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive algorithms taken these […]
Updating 100-year-old technology for the next generation Liquid ring vacuum compressors are a proven solution widely used across process industries, especially for the recovery of gases and vapors. They are […]
