How to Install Mechanical Seals in Centrifugal Pumps
August 8, 2022 |The rotating shaft of a centrifugal pump penetrates the back end of a pump casing through a stuffing box or seal chamber. The primary purpose of a mechanical seal in a centrifugal pump is to prevent fluid from leaking to the atmosphere along this rotating shaft. Selection of the right mechanical seal for each pump […]
Read MoreHow CO2 Pumping Helps with Natural Gas Processing – CCUS Solutions
September 21, 2021 |During initial exploration, natural gas formation pressures are sufficient to sustain maximal output. However, these pressures will eventually dwindle, resulting in diminished productivity. In these cases, enhanced oil recovery techniques such as carbon dioxide pumping become the most efficient method to maximize gas well output.Removing CO2 emissions from natural gas is becoming a matter of worldwide importance. Let’s […]
Read MoreUnderstanding Gauge and Absolute Pressures in Pump Operations
October 15, 2019 |Pumps and their associated systems are designed to produce and retain pressure. Professionals involved in building, maintaining, and repairing such systems, need a good understanding of how pressure works. Two methods of measuring pressure—gauge and absolute pressures—are foundational concepts for pump manufacturers and users. Gauge Pressure vs. Absolute Pressure Pressure is a force acting over […]
Read MoreUnderstanding Centrifugal Pump and Motor Torque-Speed Curves
October 8, 2019 |The motor used to power a centrifugal pump needs to be able to produce enough torque to start the pump and bring it to an optimal operating speed. If a motor lacks enough torque to operate a pump, the pump may not start or may only operate at a reduced speed. The centrifugal pump suppliers […]
Read MoreWear Ring Clearances in Centrifugal Pumps
October 1, 2019 |Wear rings play a crucial role in centrifugal pumps. A centrifugal pump typically features two adjacent wear rings: a stationary wear ring on the casing and a rotating wear ring on the impeller. The pump wear ring clearance between these two rings is critically important to a pump’s efficiency. The Purpose of Wear Rings A […]
