Robust Motor Design Submersible motors are designed for a wide range of applications, such as deep well water supply, irrigation and pressure boosting. To have a robust insulation system, the insulation shall be designed to withstand the peak voltage levels during operation. Many applications require a long cable between the motor and power supply. Long […]
At the Pacific Container Terminal in Long Beach, California, huge cranes lift boxcar-sized containers, arranging them neatly on trains, trucks, and the decks of ships. If the cranes are not working, the whole process shudders to a halt. SSA Marine, owner of the cranes, is just emerging from an ordeal. For years, every one of […]
Along with solar power, wind power is the fastest growing source of renewable energy. However, inverter-induced voltage can damage the bearings of wind power generators and lead to downtime. One solution to this problem is using AEGIS® Shaft Grounding Rings to reliably prevent such damage through effective grounding.

Route to Market (RTM) In Flowserve context, the RTM is via the wide use of distributors in many parts of the world, and is especially true for the North American markets. For maximum sales opportunities, the brewery size is paramount, starting from 1 million+ barrels per year capacity (where only a small volume of sales […]
When a bulk carrier experienced electrical erosion in the main auxiliary reduction gears that drive the ship’s 1.5 MW generator, power to the ship’s many electrical motors was lost. The motors operate a variety of pumps, conveying equipment, and ventilation equipment in onboard systems as well as unloading and loading conveyors. Without the generator, the […]
Smart actuators improve uptime and reduce costs Electric actuators have been used to control valves in demanding applications such as oil and gas, commercial power, and fresh water and wastewater processing since the 1980s. However, actuator and valve failures can compromise plant performance and employee safety. This can result in significant consequences for plant operators, […]
Challenge At a leading Gulf state water company, 25% of circulation pumps in an odor control system were out of service for an extended period because the equipment manufacturer had discontinued production and spare parts became unavailable. Solution Flowserve proactively proposed restoring the full capacity of the odor control system by replacing the non-functioning circulation […]
