When a gould pump goes down at a municipal station the consequences are immediate: bypasses, regulatory headaches, and costly emergency repairs. This hands-on guide shows operators and engineers how to translate a wastewater duty point into the right Goulds model, size and commission the pump with proper NPSH margin, implement preventive maintenance and condition monitoring, […]

Introduction For municipal and industrial wastewater engineers, the management of solids—specifically the reduction of ragging, stringy materials, and debris—remains one of the costliest operational challenges. Unscheduled downtime due to clogged pumps or damaged downstream instrumentation costs utilities millions annually in labor and equipment replacement. When evaluating solids reduction technologies, engineers often face a critical fork […]
