The Complete Guide to How Self-Priming Pumps Work: Benefits and Applications by DAE Pumps
Introduction Self-priming pumps have a special design that creates a vacuum within the pump casing, drawing fluid into the pump. It then circulates the fluid through the system. The design uses a special impeller with vanes that trap air and gas within the pump casing. The impeller’s rotation creates pockets that trap air and gas in the pump casing. This creates a partial vacuum that ...

Monitoring hydrocarbons in Bilge water - Case study
The Situation Various processes onboard ships, such as machinery wash-down, maintenance, and leakage, generate oily wastewater. This contaminated water flow collects in the bilge of the ship. Marine diesel, lubricating oils, grease, as well as other contaminants may be present in bilge water. The bilge water is discharged overboard, with oil and grease concentrations in the discharged water ...

Effective products for wastewater treatment system
The process applied to alter waste water into dirt-free drinking water is called as WasteWater Treatment; the water that is no longer needed or fit for any purpose. The bilge water can be returned to the water cycle to make it suitable for drinking. This is called as water reclamation which avoids the disposal of wastewater by treating them with various recycling processes. Treatment implies to ...

Electrocoagulation and nanofiltration integrated process application in purification of bilge water using response surface methodology
Marine pollution has been considered an increasing problem because of the increase in sea transportation day by day. Therefore, a large volume of bilge water which contains petroleum, oil and hydrocarbons in high concentrations is generated from all types of ships. In this study, treatment of bilge water by electrocoagulation/electroflotation and nanofiltration integrated process is ...
