Fluid-handling or transfer devices are not basically concerned with the modulation or transfer of power, but only with the movement of fluid. Two major types of fluid-transfer pumps are ...

As addressed in an earlier article of this series, centrifugal pumps are the most common pumps in a process plant, and an operator’s understanding of how these systems work often will impact how much ...

Selecting the best dewatering solution requires experience and an understanding of the physics involved. For optimum performance and equipment life, it's important to choose the correct type and size ...

In a typical steam power plant, the boiler feedwater (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator (DA) and discharges high-pressure water to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal ...

Centrifugal pumps are the most common pumps in a process plant. Despite their pivotal role in operations, however, they are often the plant's least understood and most inefficiently operated equipment ...
