The steel industry is a harsh environment where all equipment is exposed to intense heat and must operate reliably to prevent dangerous situations. Part of the steel finishing process includes pickling, which is a method of removing impurities from steel such as inorganic contaminants, scale, rust, stains, aluminum alloys, and …
Boiler feed systems rely on pumps and sensors to control and maintain the water level in the boiler. Various sensor technologies are available to achieve this each with different advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the correct method to control boiler system water levels is important to optimize economic operating efficiency. Variable …
Metering pumps move a specific volume of liquid in a specified period of time, often giving users the impression that this provides an accurate amount of pumped volume. When using a gear pump, users can see improvements in accurate flow by using a flow meter. Metering Pump Accuracy Depends on …
Ultrafiltration of water is an important process in many industries and applications, treating water for reuse by removing particles and contaminants. Depending on the water source and the ultimate requirement for water quality, industrial pumps and process equipment perform a series of processes such as water intake, aeration, flocculation and …
Industrial water treatment is necessary for many processes such as boiler water treatment, water cooling towers, chemical manufacturing, paints, pulp, and paper manufacturing, and many other applications. Water is a vital natural resource and different industrial uses require different water treatment options based on the process, the water source, and …
Air operated diaphragm pumps operate with balanced compressed air which provides benefits in certain applications as they create a vacuum in the suction pipe and are self-priming. AODD pumps are used to provide a sort of “set it and forget it” mentality as they require less maintenance than other types …
Grundfos is recognized as the largest manufacturer of pumps in the world, providing innovative and intelligent pumping solutions to various process applications around the globe. Grundfos iSOLUTIONS increases operational reliability with intelligent wastewater pumping solutions and a holistic systems approach. Smart technology precisely adapts to provide maximum performance, energy efficiency, …
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) adjust the pressure or flow on pumps to meet the actual demand. VFDs control the frequency of electricity delivered to pumps and fans. VFDs can provide significant power savings by controlling the rotational speed and frequency of electrical power supplied to the pump motor. VFDs are …
Diaphragm metering pumps provide precision and accurate dosing to many applications that require consistent flow. While precision and accuracy are very similar definitions referring to the quality of a measurement, they provide different indications. Precision refers to the degree to which a process or instrument will repeat the same value, …
Industrial wastewater treatment management programs are required to meet national guidelines established by the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, regarding the discharge of industrial wastewater and the level of contaminants allowed. The EPA established Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) as part of the Clean Water Act of 1972 which limits the maximum …
