Pumps are acknowledged workhorses in industrial liquid-handling applications, but there is another technology that, while not necessarily as highly recognized as the pump, plays a pivotal role in critical industrial liquid-handling applications. This technology is the portable mixer, and properly designed and engineered mixers can provide the operator with many years of service in a wide variety of blending or mixing operations.

Many industrial liquid-handling applications require the precise dosing and injection of chemicals and other raw materials on the way to creating a usable end product. This demand for precise flow rates at predetermined schedules and pressures relies on a very specific pumping technology, one that can promote adherence to the injection schedule and liquid volumes.

A technology that is growing in acceptance for use in industrial applications like water/wastewater treatment and boiler feed that require the injection of chemicals is a complete range of feeder types and styles.

Systems used in liquid transfer and process applications work across a wide range of operating points. Pumps are often designed to operate at a single specified design point, but the disparity between the pumps and their full systems can be devastating to traditional pump technologies.

Air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps have grown into workhorses in many diverse industries, but they will only perform properly if compatible diaphragms are used.

Quattroflow™, part of PSG®, a Dover company and a leading brand of positive displacement quaternary diaphragm pumps, has extended its line of HT drives with the addition of the new QF2500HT Quaternary (Four-Piston) Diaphragm Pump.

Cavitation can ruin internal pump components, and most pumps fail when operating under sustained cavitation, pumping liquid/vapor mixtures and carrying out poor Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) applications.

The chemical-processing market welcomed the first seal-less, seal-free or leak-free pumps around 30 years ago, with their primary purpose being to help prevent the leakage of hazardous materials. At first, a lack of confidence in their functionality, along with high costs, kept these seal-less pumps from becoming standard equipment. But recent technological advances have allowed seal-less pumps to evolve into a reliable and leak-free alternative to traditional sealed pumps.

All transfer and process pumps are tasked with handling some percentage of suspended solids, but not all pumps are up to this challenge. Weld slag, rust and sand are just a few examples of solids that can disrupt fluid flow in lesser pumps.

Cavitation and net positive suction head (NPSH) issues are commonly misunderstood pumping problems that, if not attended to, can cause massive plant failures.

Catastrophic pump failure is possible in centrifugal and gear pumps due to dry run operation, and despite advances in preventing the failures associated with dry run, these pumps still are not as equipped to handle the issue as the Blackmer® MAGNES Series.

Ebsray® Pumps Pty. Ltd., part of PSG®, a Dover company, and a global leader in the design and manufacture of regenerative turbine and positive displacement pump technologies, is pleased to announce the launch of its new HiFlow Series Regenerative Turbine Pumps.

Quattroflow™, part of PSG®, a Dover company and a leading brand of positive displacement quaternary diaphragm pumps, is pleased to announce the availability of its new Q-Control Integrated Pump Controller, which is designed to interface with a variety of flow and pressure sensors to provide users with automated control over their pump operations.

Quattroflow™ has built a strong relationship with Asahi Kasei Bioprocess America, Inc., or AKBA. Starting with industrial chemicals in 1931, AKBA is now one of North America’s largest pharmaceutical and bioprocessing companies and was recently awarded “Technology of the Decade” by Bioprocess International Magazine for the development of the industry’s first Inline Buffer Dilution (IBD) skid.

Despite their appearance, manufacturing plants are filled with delicate ecosystems that must function in perfect harmony to ensure they are operating efficiently, effectively and safely. The fluid or product used in these systems is transferred through pumps, which are essential to running the operation. With the highly important roles pumps play in manufacturing, regularly scheduled maintenance, while important, may not be enough to avoid potential failures.
