Peristaltic Pumps Well Worth Their Salt

From Web4Water: Whilst other pump designs become subject to costly maintenance and part replacement, Verderflex peristaltic hose pump users can enjoy trouble-free production and low running costs.

One customer to benefit was a Spanish salt producer. When this company expanded its production in 2009, it chose to install a range of Verderflex peristaltic pumps to enhance its process.

Although salt is the primary product, the raw material from which it is extracted also contains silica as well as mud and other minerals. These sodium silicates have a wide use, from food preservations and water treatment through to automotive engine repair and fire protection.

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.

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."

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.
