Peristaltic Pumps Waste Less Water In Wastewater Treatment

From Web4Water: The City of Eagan in North Minnesota, USA required a pump capable of accurately dosing 15% sodium hypochlorite or 'hypo' for their new wastewater treatment plant.

Hypo has outstanding disinfection properties. It is used in wastewater treatment to kill off bacteria before being discharged back into the environment and in water treatment as one the primary methods of drinking water disinfection. It is also a challenging product to pump. This is because hypo tends to off-gas, causing some types of pump to vapour lock. Diaphragm pumps are particularly prone to this.

After evaluating several pump choices from a number of manufacturers, they decided on the Verderflex VF10 peristaltic hose pump for the job. The ten pumps will be put to immediate use in this new area of the treatment plant. Each Verderflex VF10 pump is capable of flow rates up to 48 US GPH and at pressures up to 175 psi. Verderflex pumps can pump both gas and liquid, ensuring the liquid stream receives a consistent dose.

Pumps, A Major Segment Of The Fluid Control Equipment Market, Is Increasing By 3-5% Annually

From OfficialWire: Fluid control equipment industry is highly fragmented catering to many industries like petroleum, chemical, industrial, power generation and water. Pumps are a major segment of the industry, growing on a normalized basis at 3-5%, out of which industrial pumps have a strong hold on the market.

Valve demand in the energy production sector will benefit from an increase in primary energy consumption in mature markets like North America as well as in developing markets such as Latin America. The North America, Western Europe and the Asia Pacific regions consist of the most mature markets for valves.

ARS Publishes Guide for Remote Solar Water Pumps

From PhysOrg.com: A guide to choosing a solar water pump for remote (off-grid) applications has been published by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists.

For this guide, agricultural engineer Brian Vick and colleagues drew on the ARS Conservation and Production Research Laboratory’s 31 years of testing stand-alone water pumps. The laboratory is located near Bushland, Texas. Vick found that for pumps with motors rated less than 1,500 watts, solar is usually the best choice. With current technology and costs, wind power or a hybrid wind/solar pump is usually best for power needs of 1,500 watts or more.
