Q&A on purchasing vertical turbine pumps

From Pumps & Systems:

Q. When purchasing vertical turbine pumps, can the motors be purchased directly from a motor supplier?

A. Vertical pump motors are normally supplied with a registered (rabbet) fit mounting base conforming to industry standard dimensions and drilling. It is customary for the vertical pump manufacturer to supply the motor to ensure:

• Proper mating of the base flanges
• Proper coupling of the shaft extensions
• Specification of the axial thrust requirements
• Specification of the start-up torque requirements

Success in An Ethylene Plant

From ThomasNet: GRAPHALLOY® significantly improves the operation of pumps in difficult applications. Its advantage is demonstrated by its success in an ethylene plant in a Texas refinery.

Ethylene is a very light hydrocarbon that creates problems in pump operation. Because of its low viscosity, ethylene provides minimal lubrication to the rotating parts of the pump. As a result, these pumps are prone to failure. The ethylene service pumps in this particular Texas refinery were failing two to four times a year at an average cost of $75,000 per pump. These pumps were19-stage vertical pumps operating at 3560 rpm.

New on Pumps & Systems - Impeller Balancing: An Important Element of a Quality Repair

New article on the June issue of Pumps & Systems - Impeller Balancing: An Important Element of a Quality Repair.

Impeller balancing or, more correctly, pump rotor balancing is an important element in any quality pump overhaul. Balancing pump impellers and assembled rotors is a straightforward process, but a few "gotchas" can result in poor final balance quality. The step is too often skipped because it is assumed that the impellers were balanced at the factory. Whether you are a pump end user, service technician or rebuilder, this discussion of balancing procedures, tolerances and tips may help you get that perfect pump instead of one that is just "okay."

Diaphragm Dosing Pumps are chemical resistant

From ThomasNet: Integrating 2-phase stepper motors, type FEM 1.02 and FEM 1.09 pumps achieve flow rates from 0.2-20 mLpm and 0.9-90 mLpm, respectively. Compact pumps measure 62 x 75 x 63 mm, cover wide dosing range (1:100), and can serve for more than 10,000 hr. Leak-tight units are self-priming to 8.5 in. Hg and demonstrate 1% repeatability. Depending on pump version, head materials include polypropylene or PVDF, while internal elastomeric components are manufactured from EPDM, FFPM, and PTFE.

Rugged line of pumps for tough water treatment chemicals from AquFlow

From Yahoo! News: Sodium Hypochlorite, Ferric Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Hydrochloric acid etc. are the chemicals that are commonly used as disinfectants, coagulants, corrosion Inhibitors and neutralizing agents in a typical water treatment plant. These chemicals could be very corrosive if the right material is not selected for the liquid end of the injection pumps causing premature failures and down time.

AquFlow has a fully developed line of pumps that was started in 1972 as Hydroflo. The range of materials available for liquid end in these pumps includes 316 Stainless Steel, PVC, PVDF, Hastelloy C, Alloy 20 and PTFE. When a pump is correctly matched to ensure chemical compatibility and accurate flow, the water treatment process becomes more dependable.

Flowserve wins an order of plug valves for a desalination plant in Australia

From Yahoo! Finance: Flowserve, a leading US based pumps maker, received an order of plug valves for a desalination plant in Australia. As per the order, the Australia’s Southern Seawater Desalination Plant, located near Perth, will use Flowserve’s manual and automated Durco PlugSeal valves for its high-pressure processes.

Perth has been experiencing shortage in rainfall resulting in declining water level in its local reservoirs. This situation, if continues, is expected to result in an annual water shortage of approximately 150 billion liters by 2031. The plant is designed to give an output of 50 billion liters of potable water annually, with the ability to expand to 100 billion liters.
