  • 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.

  • Testing, testing – from 10 to 300 kW
    Creating a single test rig for drive motors in the range of a few kilowatts (kW) to over 300 kW can seem like a daunting task, but through the application of accurate, variable speed control and customisable software, the feat has been achieved by Vacon. Even better, operators can set parameters at the push of a button.
  • Efficiency through indirect measures
    Peripheral services to pumps, such as seal water or certain consequences of pump design, can combine to create true product transfer process efficiency. If not properly considered, indirect factors can directly affect this value, says Mouvex's Wallace Wittkoff, who explores how pump design can affect three significant efficiency areas.
  • Apprenticeships and pump design
    An apprenticeship programme and innovative designs that meet new market needs are basic requirements for continued success in the manufacture of centrifugal pumps. In this article, Dr Edward Grist gives his views on these two topics based on nearly 60 years of experience working with the UK pump industry.
  • Diagnosis using acoustic emission
    Many industries today benefit from condition monitoring (CM). Although vibration analysis is the most common method, the emergence of new techniques stimulates CM experts from Zagros Petrochemical to use them to achieve the best diagnosis. This case study demonstrates the profitability of the promising acoustic emission technique in the timely diagnosis of a bearing defect. Zagros' Hamid Karimi explains.

  • 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...
