This article was previously published on 6/27/2022 and updated on 4/27/2026 Air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are widely used in industrial applications for their ability to handle corrosive chemicals, viscous fluids, and solids-laden media. However, reliability issues can arise when air supply conditions, diaphragm integrity, or system design are not …
This article was originally published on 5/11/2022 and updated on 4/20/2026 Industrial facilities that handle hazardous, corrosive, or environmentally sensitive fluids often face a common reliability challenge: mechanical seal failure. In conventional centrifugal pumps, the shaft seal is one of the most frequent sources of leaks, maintenance downtime, and safety …
This article was previously published on 5/4/2022 and updated on 4/15/2026 Process Pump Designs and Their Impact on Industrial Efficiency Process pumps are fundamental to industrial operations, supporting fluid transfer, chemical processing, water treatment, and material handling across a wide range of facilities. The design of these pumps directly affects …
This content was previously published on 2/22/22 and updated on 4/7/2025 Understanding Metering Pump Applications in Industrial Processes Metering pump applications arise wherever liquids must be delivered with precise volume control over time. Unlike transfer pumps that simply move fluid from one location to another, metering pumps are designed to …
This article was originally published on 2/9/2022 and updated on 3/23/2026 Flavor and essence dosing is not simply about adding ingredients; it’s about delivering a repeatable formulation that supports product integrity batch after batch. In competitive food and beverage markets, consistent taste and aroma differentiate brands and build consumer trust. …
This article was originally published on 1/25/2022 and updated on 3/19/2026 Dosing for fertigation systems combines precision fluid handling with irrigation control to deliver nutrients exactly when and where crops need them. Advanced dosing equipment meters fertilizer in proportion to irrigation flow and integrates real-time monitoring of temperature, pH, and …
This Article was originally published on 1/11/2022 and updated on 3/14/2026 Sealless Pumps: Eliminating Leakage at the Source Sealless pumps eliminate dynamic shaft seals, removing one of the most common failure points in rotating equipment. By using magnetic-drive or canned-motor technology, these pumps create a fully contained fluid boundary that …
This article was previously published on 12/20/2021 and updated on 3/9/2026 Sodium hypochlorite pumping systems demand precise material compatibility, stable suction design, and accurate chemical metering to prevent corrosion, vapor lock, and premature equipment failure. Because hypochlorite degrades metals, releases entrained gas, and loses stability under heat, pump selection directly …
Meeting VOC Sustainability Requirements Starts at the Pump Volatile organic compound (VOC) sustainability requirements now influence pump selection as much as flow, pressure, and materials of construction. In oil and gas operations, emissions tracking, regulatory scrutiny, and internal ESG targets have shifted focus toward equipment designs that prevent leaks rather …
Industrial heating and cooling loops control temperature by circulating engineered fluids through pumps, heaters, and heat exchangers under tightly managed hydraulic and thermal conditions. System stability depends on selecting the appropriate heat-transfer medium, maintaining adequate NPSH at elevated temperatures, controlling flow to stabilize temperature differential, and integrating safeguards to prevent …
