With water playing such a critical role in the lives and industries of Earth’s inhabitants, there is paramount need for pumping technology that can efficiently, reliably and safely handle water, from its most pristine state to the soiled variety that flows into a water-treatment facility. Wastewater can be especially problematic for pumping equipment because it […]
Innumerable objects that we see and use in our daily lives only achieved their final form after a harsh production process that may have included the use of any number of abrasive media. This white paper examines several manufacturing applications or components where abrasive chemicals are used and the best type of pump technology to […]
Chemical plants have a strong responsibility to take every necessary precaution to protect their employees, as well as the surrounding communities. Over the past half-century, legislation has been put in place due to a number of preventable chemical accidents. While adhering to these rules remains mandatory, chemical companies need to consider installing ATEX-conformed equipment as […]
A chemical that is deemed “highly hazardous” is any substance that is both toxic and reactive, and whose potential for human injury is high if released. The safe containment, handling and transfer of these types of chemicals is critical. There are increasingly strict regulations, certifications and labeling requirements that manufacturers must meet to ensure that […]
Within actual oilfield activities, speed is a crucial consideration because the quicker the waiting oil and natural gas can be accessed and fed up a well bore, the quicker it can be sold and shipped off to a refinery. When it arrives at the refinery, there are also a number of different operational considerations that […]
For decades, the No. 1 pump-style choice by operators of chemical-processing facilities has been centrifugal-pump technology. Centrifugal pumps enable them to handle many fluid-transfer applications. The pumps will perform at their very best, however, only if proactive steps in both preventive and protective maintenance are established and implemented. This white paper will demonstrate how attention […]
From a process-equipment standpoint, permanent and single-use quaternary diaphragm pumps, such as Quattroflow™ pumps, represent a growing technology that both helps enable the efficient development of new biologic drugs and then facilitates the speed to market of the end-product. Single-use pumps, such as those using disposable pump chambers, feature replaceable wetted parts, meaning that no […]
One system of water delivery that has been growing in popularity in recent years is drip irrigation, which is also referred to as micro-irrigation, trickle irrigation or localized irrigation. This white paper will highlight the best pump technology – hydraulic diaphragm metering pumps – and why they are the leading choice for injecting the chemicals […]
With increasing regulatory vigilance regarding how wastewater is handled, it needs to be disposed of or recycled in the most environmentally friendly manner possible. Aiding in the cause of wastewater disposal or recycling is a wide range of acids that are used to help process wastewater and make it safe to either be reused or […]
From completing basic household chores to disinfecting hospitals, from being fed as a biocide to inhibit biological growth to removing odors from wastewater, sodium hypochlorite plays an ever-present role in a wide array of day-to-day operations around the world. Sodium hypochlorite also needs to be handled with care, especially in its higher concentrations. So finding […]
Pump manufacturers realize the importance their products play in industry and have taken great pains to design and develop pumping equipment that satisfies the increased need for energy efficiency and reduced operating costs. This white paper illustrates how a revolutionary new air-distribution technology can help minimize air consumption and improve overall efficiency of reciprocating positive […]
