Pump efficiency

The Hydraulic Institute Pump Efficiency Prediction guideline (HI 20.3-2010) is now available in a separate, self-contained publication. The guideline presents a simple method that will help pump users predict normally attainable efficiency levels at the best efficiency point (BEP) for selected types of rotodynamic pumps when the rate of flow, total head per stage, net positive suction head available (NPSHA), and the service conditions are known. Graphs are used extensively to portray the relationship of pump efficiency versus different parameters. Hydraulic Institute, eStore.Pumps.org

McCrometer's new online product demo makes it easier to understand the application and cost of ownership advantages of the FPI Mag™ Flow Meter. As the successor to the company's Multi-Mag Insertion Flow Meter, the new FPI Mag is a multi-electrode, hot tap, full profile insertion flow meter delivering a continuous total flow profile similar to a full-bore mag meter. The enhanced design features additional sensing electrodes for increased sensitivity and is now packaged in a heavy-duty 316 stainless steel sensor body for maximum structural integrity.

SolarBee offers a whitepaper on use of its SB10000 v18 mixers to reduce electric costs by 42 percent at the Eden, NC, activated sludge wastewater treatment plant. The solar-powered mixers take over the mixing function from brush aerators in the main reactor, cutting aeration requirements from 240 to 180 hp. The aerators are run only to provide the correct DO requirement. Additional results include precise DO levels for better control of BOD reduction, improved TSS level and sludge settling.
