How to Improve Pump System Performance
Want to know how to improve your pump system performance? The U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) and the Hydraulic Institute (HI) have produced a guide called Improving Pumping System Performance: A Sourcebook for Industry. Their other guides include: compressed air systems, fan and blower systems, motors and drives, steam systems, and process heating systems.
How can Dosing Technology improve your Pumping Process?
Almost no pumping process does not use "dosing" in some way. Dosing technology is used for the production of chemicals and products as well as for their economic and ecologically beneficial application in manufacturing industries. A significant number of users of dosing technology are waterworks and sewage treatment plants, as well as public swimming pools water conditioning. The spreading of dosing technology to increase the quality and economic efficiency of processes requires more information and training on “dosing technology“to achieve optimum results.

Sealing Power Generation Pumps - The Basics
John Crane recently helped Pumps & Systems editorial staff satisfy reader requests for articles on pump fundamentals. This article was written by John Morton, chairman of the European Sealing Association, and product marketing manager at John Crane. Since Power Generation has no tolerance for down time, your sealing choices can make a significant difference in keeping power reliable.
John states, "At the heart of any power station’s pre-boiler system is the boiler feed pump. Most of these pumps are between-bearings, multistage centrifugal designs with mechanical seals installed at each end of the pump." In this article, John covers:
- What is a boiler feedwater pump?
- Why are these pumps important?
- What sealing methods do plants typically use to keep boiler feedwater pumps running?
- What are the common issues with these methods?
- Are there other options?
-
What situations make the change to a newer sealing technology worth the cost?
