Extracting oil and gas comes with various challenges, one of which is how to deal with the produced water that comes with the oil and gas.

In this article, we are going to take a look at produced water:

• What is produced water
• Produced water treatment
• How to dispose of produced water
• Produced water fracking

We’re also going to have a closer look at the pumps that handle produced water, how to select one, and the best op

The axial and radial loads placed on the impeller have an important effect on the reliable operation of a pump. Since the impeller is rigidly connected to the rotor bearings if these loads become too large the excessive bearing heat and shortened life may be experienced.

Typically the pump is designed so that these loads are minimized, but some amount of thrust is inevitable and can be magnified by unfavorable operating conditions.

In this posting, we are discussing the calcul

Enclosed and semi-open impellers are both widely used in centrifugal pump design. While enclosed impellers are typically considered more efficient, both designs have merits and are suited for different applications. In this discussion, we will be addressing single-inlet impellers, which are typically used for end-suction style pumps.

One of the most critical systems on ships is the cooling system. Large vessels need a way to safely remove unusable heat from their main engine, auxiliary engines, generators, and other machinery.

At the heart of every ship’s cooling system are the marine cooling pumps. These pumps are responsible for bringing water to every component in the engine room and carrying away the excess heat they produce.

Marine cooling pumps prevent overhea

Industrial vertical sump pumps are designed for moving water and other liquids from deep pits. Sometimes called immersion pumps due to the fact that the pump casing is immersed in the fluid, their accommodating design makes them incredibly useful in a variety of applications.

Of the numerous sump pumps available, the Pentair Aurora 531 column pump was well known in the pump world. Pentair discontinued manufacturing this pump in mid-2019.

Voyages across the ocean can take weeks to complete. And with no connection to land, there is no way for these ships to buy more freshwater once they run out.

That’s why many ships have a system for producing fresh water and drinking water. And at the center of it is the potable water pump.

In this article, you’ll get a closer look at potable water pumps:

• What exactly potable water pumps are
• How ships prod

One of the most critical pumps to have onboard every ship is the oil transfer pump.

Oil transfer is not only essential for a vessel to reach its destination, but it is also very hazardous. That is why you cannot take any chances with your marine oil transfer pump.

In this article, we’re going to have a complete look at oil transfer pumps:

• What exactly oil transfer pumps are
• The

Whether you’re working on a recreational boat or a giant cargo ship, you should never head out to sea without a bilge pump. Without these, there are so many things that could go wrong.

That said, the bilge pump requirements for large vessels and smaller ships are vastly different.

In this article, you’ll get a comprehensive look at marine bilge pumps for both large ships and smaller boats:

• What exactly marine bilge

The American Petroleum Institute (API) provides meaningful guidelines on wear ring materials and clearances for all API 610 pumps. Appropriate specification of wear rings contributes to both higher efficiency and higher reliability. If clearances are too small, the pump wear rings could make contact during certain operating conditions, leading to a reduced lifespan or worse. If clearances are too large, internal leakage will result, and pump performance will decrease. Given that the clearance

Flanges are often referred to by class, or their lb. designation, or even just as a number followed by an octothorpe (the # symbol), which is the hashtag for you millennials, and the pound sign for everyone else. These terms are all used interchangeably to describe the pressure rating of a flange. To make things more confusing, a 600 pound flange does not correlate to a rating of 600 psi. So what does it all mean?
