  • Nuclear power: Less resistance to energy efficiency
    There are many ways to increase the efficiency of pumps. Here, Lew Beck at Oconee Nuclear Station discusses two of them: firstly the use of ceramic type coatings applied to pump internals such as the impeller and casing, and secondly through the renewal of original fits and tolerances.
  • Peristaltic answer to caustic problems
    Positive displacement pumps are still the preferred choice for metering highly corrosive and caustic chemicals. However, when it comes to reducing life-cycle costs, Chuck Treutel, P. E, of the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group, argues that peristaltic pump technology has the advantage over diaphragm and progressive cavity types.
  • Tsurumi in wastewater upgrade at a Bulgarian military training base
    Japanese pump supplier Tsurumi has upgraded a European army base. This is part of an ongoing development to the site using a mix of aerators, agitators, cutters, decanters and sewage pumps.
  • Sludge pump control cuts demand by 90%
    ABB is launching a new ‘reactive’ method of controlling sludge in sewage treatment plants that could cut pumping demand by up to 90%.
  • 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.
