Introduction to PC Pump Intake Hydraulics One of the most persistent and expensive failure modes in municipal wastewater treatment plants involves the premature destruction of progressive cavity (PC) pump stators. While often blamed on “bad rubber” or manufacturing defects, a significant percentage of these failures are actually hydraulic issues rooted in the civil and mechanical […]

Drum pumps are essential tools for transferring liquids from large containers, such as 55-gallon drums, without spills or contamination. They offer a safe and efficient way to move different substances, ranging from water and oils to chemicals and other industrial fluids. These pumps come in various types and configurations to meet specific needs, including manual, […]

Rotary lobe pumps are a vital component in industries that require the gentle and efficient movement of fluids. With their unique design, these pumps can handle viscous fluids and solids without causing damage. Rotary lobe pumps operate with precision, ensuring minimal shearing, making them ideal for delicate processes. This makes them a preferred choice in […]

Centrifugal pumps are key components in many industrial applications. They are known for their ability to move large volumes of liquid efficiently. A centrifugal pump works by converting rotational energy from a motor to energy in a moving fluid. This action uses the force of inertia to transfer the liquid from the pump inlet to […]

Progressive cavity pumps are a type of positive displacement pump used in various industries. They work by moving fluid through a series of cavities created between a helical rotor and a flexible stator. These pumps are known for their ability to handle difficult fluids, including those with high viscosity or solid content. Progressive cavity pumps […]

Vane pumps are a type of positive displacement pump used in many industries. They move fluids by trapping a fixed amount of liquid between vanes and then forcing it out. These pumps are known for their efficiency, smooth flow, and ability to handle a wide range of viscosities. Vane pumps work well in both low […]
