Introduction Chemical dosing accuracy is the silent guardian of water quality compliance and the hidden driver of operational expenditure. In municipal and industrial treatment plants, the failure to properly understand hydraulic behavior results in millions of dollars lost annually to chemical waste, premature equipment failure, and process instability. A surprising industry statistic suggests that over […]

Introduction In municipal wastewater treatment and industrial sludge handling, the premature failure of progressive cavity (PC) pump stators remains one of the most persistent and costly maintenance burdens. Engineers frequently specify robust hydraulic conditions, yet the interface between the pump mechanics and the electrical control system is often where reliability disintegrates. A startling volume of […]

Introduction One of the most frequent points of failure in municipal pumping infrastructure involves the misapplication of pump geometry to the wet well environment. While submersible non-clog pumps dominate small to medium sewage lift stations, engineers frequently turn to vertical turbine pumps (VTPs) for high-flow, high-head, or footprint-constrained applications. However, a staggering number of these […]
