Using canned motor technology for submersible pumps provides significant advantages. A short shaft, only two slide bearings – independent from the immersion depth – and various monitoring functions not only ensure high reliability but also mean cost advantages for the operator. Since it is supplied as a lock pump, easy servicing is guaranteed at the same time.
Sales of clarifiers, dissolved air flotation, hydro-cyclones and centrifuges for the oil and gas industry will be level in 2016 at $400 million. This makes it a small segment in the $7.4 billion sedimentation and centrifugation market.
The Chemineer RL-3™ impeller is designed to prevent fibrous material build-up on the rotating impeller of agitators. In blending and solids suspension applications where the fluid contains fibrous material, typically found in the wastewater treatment industry, the resulting build up on the agitator’s impeller can deteriorate performance, increase energy costs and even damage the gearbox bearings and gears causing costly repair.
Amarinth is developing ever closer relationships with European EPCs with an order to supply high-quality, bespoke API 610 VS4 vertical pumps to Cannon Bono Artes for use by ADCO in the Middle East.
Soon it will be time to take to the stage and announce: “The winner is….” The date when all will be revealed is May 29, at the ceremonial presentation of the GreenTec Awards in Munich, to mark the start of IFAT 2016. This event, the most important environmental technology trade show in the world, is coming up between May 30 and June 3, 2016 in Munich.
Whether a pump is running in its optimum operating range is difficult to judge from the outside. Although vibrations or unusual noise levels are an indicator for irregularities, for a long time we did not know exactly what was happening inside a pump.
Billions of dollars of flow control and treatment equipment will be purchased by the oil, gas and refining industries in the next 12 months. These projects are identified in N049 Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects.
Building on its highly successful Pump System Optimization Education and Training Program that helps participants of different industries operate pump system more efficiency in achieving energy savings of 20% to 40%, the Hydraulic Institute is developing a broader Pump Systems Assessment Certification Program (PSAP) that will provide a method to assess the credentials and capabilities of individuals who do pump systems assessments and evaluations based on a rigorous testing protocol.
Xylem has been recognized by the American India Foundation (AIF) for its long-term commitment to India’s growing economy and to helping provide greater access to water for the country’s most vulnerable communities.
