  • Advanced Conversion: Maximising the Potential for Energy from Waste
    One of the most readily-available and viable solutions to help address the challenge of our growing energy needs is Energy-from-Waste (EfW) – which has the potential to take a multitude of waste streams (such as municipal solid waste) and convert them into energy. We look at how modern techniques can make the technology more efficient.

  • Moving abrasive and corrosive liquids
    It is difficult to find a reliable and cost effective pump for applications having both corrosive and abrasive media. The equipment is expensive to buy and maintain, and safety for those using the equipment is a headache, given their hazardous applications. One solution is a pump using standard parts, while various linings allowing for quick delivery at reasonable costs.C. Daniel Urquhart from RamParts LLC discusses the options.
  • A Middle Eastern vision of progress
    The Saudi Pump Factory (SPF), headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is a pump and valve manufacturer providing fluid handling solutions to meet customer requirements in the oil, gas, chemical, industrial, municipal and agricultural sectors. This article looks at the company’s products, capabilities and plans for the future.
  • Modern technology for coating systems
    Positive displacement air-operated double-diaphragm pump enhancements help operators improve performance, product containment and energy efficiency, says Wilden's Xavier Rasotto. In this article he examines the challenges to be overcome in maximizing paint and coating production processes using these machines in what is one of the most important industries on earth.

  • Metal to composites for improving reliability
    Conversion of metal pump wear parts to advanced composite materials can lead to substantial annual cost savings through increased seal and bearing life, less risk of pump seizures, increased MTBR (Mean Time Between Repair), and reduced energy use. This is demonstrated by major industrial companies that transitioned from metals to DuPont Vespel CR-6100 wear parts for some of their toughest pump applications...

  • 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.
