Choosing the Right Dewatering Pump for Your Application
The process of dewatering involves draining or pumping water from a mine shaft, construction site, or flooded building basement, industrial or city area. The removal of rain or groundwater in the construction and mining industries is essential to provide a dry base and water table stability to enable operations to proceed.
The Industrial Pump And How They Power Modern Life
While dredging is a dangerous business, cowboy behavior makes it even more difficult. Hurrying up and rushing to get the job done doesn’t help—it can hurt people or the environment. Safety wasn’t always a top priority in the dredging industry, so it has slowly evolved over the years due to many accidents. It can take years to change an entire industry’s safety direction. However, with perseverance, a safety-first mindset, and compliance with dredging rules and regulations, progress has been made to eliminate work-related incidents and injuries while dredging.

Top 8 Considerations for Selecting a Slurry Pump
Understanding how to calculate discharge head on an industrial pump is not only crucial for effectively applying a pump to an application, but it is also a primary consideration when purchasing the most suitable pump for an application. Calculating discharge head forces you to know your application; fluid characteristics, inlet and discharge piping, and the pump’s performance requirements. Read the following article to learn how to calculate discharge head on an industrial pump.
From transferring liquid fertilizer in the agricultural industry to highly accurate paint dosing, industrial peristaltic hose pumps, also known as open flow pumps, are critical to ensuring the safe and effective transfer of materials for numerous industries and applications. For those who are looking to add an industrial peristaltic hose pump to their application, it is important to understand how these specialized pumps work and the applications and industries for which they are a good fit. This guide will break down the basics of industrial peristaltic hose pumps, starting with the pump’s operation style.
Selecting an industrial pump application is not as simple as someone might think. In fact, if the most important factors are not considered it can literally spell disaster and cause a company a lot of time and money trying to reverse or correct any issues resulting from having the wrong pump in the application. The following article provides a concise overview of the specific selection criteria that can be used for choosing the best industrial pump for your needs.
Understanding pipe friction loss, the benefits of reducing pipe friction loss, and how pipe friction loss can be reduced on an industrial pump application are all crucial factors to achieving the best performance and efficiency from an industrial pump. Friction loss is also important when choosing the most appropriate motor power for an industrial pump application to ensure that the pump can overcome the friction energy loss associated with a specific industrial pump application. For more on how to reduce pipe friction loss read the following article.
Industrial Hose Floats are commonly used as a flotation device for supporting hoses and cables at the surface of a waterway. Hose floats are designed to keep hoses and cables from sinking below the surface of the water which can cause issues with the hose kinking, twisting, as well as many other issues due to not being visible at the surface of the water. They are simple to install, UV stabilized, and come in bright colors that are easily visible, and ideally suited for dredging, mining, marine, and any other applications that involve jobs done on a waterway.
Agriculture water reclamation and reuse are important to our nation’s farmlands. Reusing the irrigation water for crop production is a cost-effective way of saving money and protecting against droughts. As temperatures rise across the country, agricultural water reclamation proves to be essential. Setting up collections areas and proper pumps prove to be the solutions to water crises…
Owners of a large acre plus pond need an economical solution for pond dredging and cleaning their prized watering holes. They want to know how to dredge their large ponds. Over time, ponds start to get filled up with sediment and if not constantly maintained, they get mucky and lose their water level. Looking to clean the pond and increase the water level by pond dredging, pond owners need to …
For centuries, farm animals have been essential for civilizations to survive, but nowadays they are destroying the environment. They have always left behind manure that releases the toxic greenhouse gas, methane gas, which is harmful to carbon levels. However, as the world’s population grows so does the number of animals and methane gases they produce. A single cow can consume about 50-60 pounds of dry food every day. That is a lot of manure they leave behind. And it is not just cows, pigs and chickens are also big contributors. So, farmers are finding ways to turn their waste into energy.
Today’s world is always demanding more and more energy. We are finding new ways of being independent of fossil energy and more reliant on clean systems that are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Geothermal energy is proving to be one of those reliable means of energy…
