  • John Crane dry split seal is the perfect deal
    The pumping of high temperature titanium tetrachloride can cause manufacturing and safety issues. So how can we ensure that manufacturing processes are safe from chemical attack? The combination of a John Crane 3740D seal and DuPont’s Vespel bearing sleeve material resulted in total success, as Vic Lundberg reports.

  • Bearings designed for abrasive liquids Bearings designed for abrasive liquids
    Particulates in the water of a central production plant in Kansas City, USA, were causing bushings to fail after 30 months. A natural rubber-based, self-lubricating bearing material was suggested as a replacement. The outcome was a five year period without any performance problems and an estimated saving of approximately US$60,000.
  • Processing water from an open pit Processing water from an open pit
    A Mexican gold mine required a number of products and services for the facility's process pump applications. It was important that the pumps could handle the abrasive mine water and could adapt to varying conditions. A reclaim water pumping system provided the answer and enabled water to be reused throughout the facility.

  • Sanitary Drum Unloading Solutions
    Installing a Drum Unloading System can help to prevent hazardous processes effects due to potential employee injury and food safety. It also will save time and money thanks to the recent advancements to the Drum Unloading System by Graco.
  • Maximising biogas production efficiency
    The biofuels sector, including biogas, is a fast growing industry because it means less reliance on fossil fuels, and it is sustainable. However, biomass is a difficult media, so has to be broken down to allow pumping to take place efficiently and to maximize biogas production. Harald Vogelsang explains.
  • Seal-less pumps work in polymer injection
    A US specialist in enhanced oil recovery systems required pumps for a polymer injection facility in a Wyoming oilfield. Seal-less diaphragm pumps were selected for the 24 hour facility. Their ongoing long-service performance and gentle handling of the polymers led to additional pumps being installed to extend the facility.
  • Middle East boosts pump demand
    Population growth and improved standards of living in the Middle East have greatly increased the demand for water and sanitation services, along with the need for more water for agricultural uses. Debbie Fox and Ann James of McIlvaine Company discuss potential opportunities for pumps in the region.
