A Dutch first in the polder - Water Board Zuiderzeeland measures flow rates to achieve sustainability

The Dutch province of Flevoland lies metres below sea-level. That’s why rain and seepage need to be removed from the polder, some 6 metres up. And that’s the reason Flevoland is drained continuously by seven huge pumping stations. The quantity of energy involved in this is as great as the energy consumption of 4,000 households. Water Board Zuiderzeeland has launched the ‘Energy ...

Deal With The Pressure - Protect piping system components with Pulsation Dampeners

Metering pumps with operating pressures of up to 150 psig (pounds per square inch gauge) can create unwanted pressure pulsations within a piping system – a real problem in applications such as filling, mixing and spraying that require a combination of a metering pump’s accuracy and a continuous flow. But the issue can often be addressed with Pulsation Dampeners.The Pulsation Dampeners, usually ...

Viscous Pumping in Focus

The performance of a pump is influenced when it handles viscous fluids such as crude oil. For the configuration and design of pumps, this is key. In the industry, pump performance curves are developed by testing with water at temperatures around 25°C and corrected to a specific gravity of one. Engineers use this standard so that they have comparable measurement values around the world. The ...

Low Flow Groundwater Sampling Using RotaPump Inertial Lift Pump

This article tells you how to perform low flow groundwater sampling using a portable, surface-mounted pump with no decontamination required before each use and no chance of cross contamination between wells. An inertial lift pump moves a dedicated (stored in the well) pumping tube rapidly up and down. A one-way valve on the bottom admits water on the down stroke and retains water on the ...

Flow Rate Determination For Active Mixers In Water Storage Tanks

When water flows through a defined area such as a pipe or the inlet / outlet port of a pump, the flow rate is simply the measurement of how much water passes through an "imaginary plane" in a certain amount of time. This method of defining flow rate is so basic that it is adopted by engineers and equipment manufacturers everywhere for virtually all products in the water industry including pumps, ...
