Extra pumps headed to stricken Russian boat

From Yahoo! 7 News: More water pumps will be rushed to the crew of a stricken Russian fishing boat stranded in Antarctica as they battle to stay afloat while waiting for rescue ships to arrive, officials said Tuesday. The nearest vessels are still several days away and are being hampered from reaching the Russian-flagged Sparta because of thick ice in the frozen Southern Ocean.

The crew have attached mooring lines to the ice to give the ship greater stability and are managing to pump out water at the speed it is coming in, but New Zealand rescue officials said they need more pumps and fuel.

Torishima to supply high pressure pumps for desalination plant in Chile

From Torishima's website: Torishima received an order of high pressure pumps and the booster pumps from ACCIONA Agua for a desalination plant which will be built near the Atacama Desert in the suburbs of Copiapo city in Chile.

ACCIONA Agua is a Spanish leading contractor who designs, constructs and operates water treatment plants and desalination plants. This order comes to the first order for us from the company. Copiapo city has a long history of mining and more than 60 mining in operations. Its dry climate makes it an attractive agricultural area, and each year it gives the Chile’s first fruit harvest.

The new desalination plant will use RO, reverse-osmosis method and fresh water produced there will be destributed throughout the mining area with an aim to solve the chronic water shortage. High pressure water supply pumps play a vital role in RO desalination plants.
Torishima has a considerable experience and expertise in manufacturing and providing of the pumps all over the world, and the proven performances and quality led to the order.

In South America, it has been planed to construct a number of RO desalination plants over the next years. Torishima is committed to continually improving the reliability and quality of our pumps, and contributing to the sustainable water solutions for the area.

A “Solid” Solution to Pump Selection

From Pumps & Systems: Tests show that solid-body plastic pumps are the best choice for oscillating applications.

The demands that oscillating-displacement pumps place on their materials of construction are extreme due to the constant alternating stress to which they are subjected. In contrast to rotating machines— such as centrifugal pumps, where the load builds gradually when the machine is started and then remains constant—the components of an oscillating machine (diaphragm or piston pumps) are subjected with each single discharge stroke to continuous alternating stress between the maximum delivery pressure and the maximum vacuum in suction operation.

Palm Coast weighs options to power water plant pumps

From the Daytona Beach News Journal: Palm Coast plans to install its own electrical lines and poles to power a dozen new water wells after discussions between Florida Power and Light and a landowner short-circuited over liability issues.

The City Council must still approve a $136,337 contract for the electrical work, including design, at a future meeting. The electrical work is part of a project to supply more water to the city's Water Treatment Plant No. 3, which has a capacity for 3 million gallons per day. But the plant only has enough wells right now to produce 1.5 million gallons per day.
