Selecting valves for cryogenic applications in liquefaction plants can be quite tricky. Application expertise, along with a high quality valve, is needed in order for the valve to operate effectively […]
GRAFILIT® IQ is an engineered graphite-based composite gasket material endowed with mechanical reinforcement and anti-stick property, making it suitable for high temperature applications. This heavy-duty material has improved surface load […]
While the composition of wastewater differs from one treatment plant to another, overall, wastewater in the U.S. has become heavier and more difficult to process. There are several options for […]
Most experts agree that Severe Service Valves are identified by applications, and that these applications are challenging to the valve’s ability to provide a minimum acceptable level of performance over […]
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are often used in wastewater stations that transport sewage. They are used to control the flow of sewage through the pumps and help wastewater treatment plants […]
If you’ve ever led a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Team, you will likely relate to the responses and discussions included in this study, which was conducted and compiled by Robert […]
Unique features in the Ring Damped Valve design allowed a gas gathering facility in North Dakota to run their Dresser Rand RDS-4 reciprocating compressor at higher lifts than traditional plate […]
To keep your control valves operating at optimal performance, physically inspect your valve at least every 12 weeks or so, assuming the system is running as intended. The visual inspection will […]
It is a topic that can critically affect the profitability of food and- beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturers, from the most basic production-line level on through entire plant efficiencies…even overall […]
In Part 3 of KSB’s article “Global Wastewater Challenges Place Pressure on Aging Infrastructure”, Horst Sturm shares a great amount of detail about wastewater pump stations and the design aspects that […]
Understanding the MEPS The increasing demand for electrical energy to sustain global development requires consistent heavy investments in power supply generation. However, in addition to complex medium and long term […]
