Introduction One of the most dangerous misconceptions in hydraulic engineering is the attempt to apply centrifugal pump logic to positive displacement equipment. Engineers trained to identify the Best Efficiency Point (BEP), check for runout, and evaluate shutoff head on a standard curve often find themselves disoriented when presented with a peristaltic (hose) pump performance chart. […]
Introduction In the complex hydraulic landscape of municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment, the peristaltic pump—often referred to as a hose pump or tube pump—occupies a critical niche. Unlike centrifugal pumps that rely on kinetic energy, or other positive displacement pumps that utilize rotors, gears, or pistons, the peristaltic pump operates on the principle […]
Sodium Hypochlorite Dosing Pump: Essential in Water Treatment and Beyond Introduction Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a widely used chemical compound, predominantly recognized for its application in water treatment, sanitation, and disinfection processes. Given its efficacy, managing the precise dosing of sodium hypochlorite is crucial in preventing over-chlorination and ensuring safe water consumption. The […]
