  • 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.
  • High energy pumps: a major safety issue
    Catastrophic failure is a possible outcome when inlet pipework is over-pressurized or when the rotor of a high-energy pump seizes. Both can result from the low-flow protection failing to act promptly. Dr Edward Grist shows that pipework layout, pump design and leak-off system design greatly influence the risk of failure.
  • Studying through distance-learning
    To correctly evaluate the operational and maintenance state of a pump, reasonably high levels of technical knowledge and operational experience are required. The ability to learn these skills is offered through two academic distance-learning study programmes: 'Pump Engineer' and 'Certified Energy Consultant for Pumps and Pump Systems'.
  • Centrifugal market: optimism or growth?
    Centrifugal pumps have dominated the global pump market for most of the last century. However, does the current financial crisis mean that their long growth potential is assured? Here, the market research organisation Frost & Sullivan considers some of the factors that continue to drive the demand.
  • Reducing avoidable pressure losses
    Industrial plants frequently employ oversized pumps out of caution. Pressure losses, and consequently energy consumption, may thus be unnecessarily high. Dr Walter Schicketanz explains in detail how such avoidable pressure drops can be determined both theoretically and in the field, as well as examining how to reduce them.
