There are several things that must come into play to achieve a quick and accurate alignment.
Mining operations around the globe often take place in harsh conditions, conditions that require reliable pump technology like that offered by Abaque™ Series Peristaltic Hose Pumps (inset).
Demands put on liquid-storage terminals appear to be at cross-purposes: maximize throughput while minimizing energy consumption. Nevertheless, sliding vane pumps provide a transfer technology that offer streamlined, reliable operation while consuming low amounts of energy.
The demands placed on soap and detergents manufacturers are various: reliably produce the products on which consumers have grown to rely, be versatile enough to handle new products or formulations, and do all of it in a way that is both environmentally friendly and kind to the company’s bottom line.
In these days of shrinking budgets and under-threat bottom lines, finding the most efficient way to run a manufacturing operation is of the utmost importance. One way that savvy facility managers are doing that is through the use of AODD pumps that feature optimized ADS systems.
The term ‘screw pump’ is often used generically. However, this generalization can be a pitfall as it fails to recognize the different product or ‘screw’ configurations, as well as the uses, advantages and design considerations for each. The design differences of each screw configuration and pump type make each suitable for different applications and handling fluids with varying characteristics.
Waterhammer is a real life example of one of the fundamental laws of Physics ‐ ‐ the conservation of energy. It is a force that can arise in any pumping system that undergoes abrupt changes in its rate of flow.
This is the first of a two part column that addresses two of the major causes of premature pump and motor failure. Although it specifically addresses submersible wastewater pumps, it applies to any end suction, single volute pump and all three phase motors.
We will look at the electrical side of the system and its effect upon motor life.
Frequently, two-screw pumps are a “last resort” because they can be a higher investment cost than centrifugal technology and are less known – but these factors should not be an engineer’s only criteria for evaluation. Two-screw pumps should be considered in any application where the process may involve variations in flow, temperature, pressure, liquid characteristics or viscosity.
For more than 70 years, Colfax has been working with the commercial marine industry to keep pace with changing compliance and regulation demands, as well as helping the industry meet evolving environmental issues. This white paper highlights one of our latest efforts: the search for pumping equipment that can meet the demands of low-viscosity, low-sulfur fuels.
