The Latest Advances in Magnetic Bearing Pumps
Magnetic bearing pumps are redefining what’s possible in high-performance fluid handling. By suspending the pump shaft using controlled magnetic fields rather than physical bearings, these systems eliminate mechanical contact between rotating and stationary components. The result is a frictionless, oil-free operation that delivers exceptional reliability, precision and efficiency. As industries push for greater performance, cleaner […]
Energy Recovery in Pumping Systems
Pumping systems are essential to moving fluids across municipal, industrial and commercial operations. Yet many of these systems waste a significant amount of energy—especially in applications involving high pressure differences, long-distance transport or continuous operation. Rather than allowing excess pressure or flow energy to dissipate as heat, more facilities are adopting energy recovery devices (ERDs) […]
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Pump Systems
Selecting a pump involves more than comparing upfront purchase prices. The true cost and environmental footprint of a pump extend across its entire operational life—from raw material extraction and manufacturing to daily energy use and end-of-life disposal. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a structured approach that evaluates these impacts over time, offering valuable insight into […]
Benchmarking Pump Performance: Which Metrics Matter Most?
Industrial pump systems are expected to deliver consistent, reliable performance—even under demanding operating conditions. But how do you know if a pump is achieving what it should? That’s where performance benchmarking comes into play. By closely tracking specific metrics, operators can validate correct operation, identify early warning signs of failure and optimize long-term efficiency. Benchmarking […]
Deploying Intelligent Pumps for Automation
In today’s industrial landscape, automation is critical to staying competitive. Smart technologies have transformed many facets of manufacturing and processing operations, and pumps are no exception. Intelligent pumps equipped with adaptive controls are reshaping the way facilities manage fluid movement, energy consumption and maintenance planning. By deploying these advanced systems, companies can reduce operational costs, […]
The Importance of Right-Sizing Pumps
Selecting the right pump is one of the most critical decisions in any fluid handling system. A pump that’s too large or too small for the job can waste energy, reduce performance and shorten the life of both the pump and associated equipment. Right-sizing ensures that your pump matches the specific needs of the application, […]
Integrating IoT Sensors in Pump Monitoring
In today’s data-driven landscape, real-time insight is everything. For pump systems, the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) sensors is revolutionizing the way operators monitor, maintain and optimize performance. These sensors transmit continuous operational data, which can significantly reduce downtime, improve reliability and extend the lifespan of critical pump assets when monitored properly. The Evolution […]
Troubleshooting Vibration and Noise in Pumps
Vibration and noise are often the first signs that something is wrong with an industrial pump system. If left unaddressed, these symptoms can accelerate wear, reduce efficiency and ultimately cause system failure. Operators can keep pumps running smoothly while extending equipment life by understanding the root causes, using the right measurement techniques and applying effective […]
Compliance & Safety Standards for Industrial Pumps
Properly managed pump systems are essential to moving fluids, keeping processes efficient, and protecting people and assets. Beyond performance and reliability, however, pumps must also operate under a framework of compliance and safety standards. These standards are established by international and national organizations. They provide a set of compliance codes designed to protect workers, safeguard […]
Critical Benefits of Routine Pump Lubrication
Lubrication is one of the simplest yet most essential practices in pump maintenance. Whether your facility operates centrifugal, positive displacement or submersible pumps, routine lubrication plays a critical role in ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency. Without it, pumps are far more likely to suffer from premature wear, overheating and unexpected downtime. By establishing a consistent […]
Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Pump Systems
While pumps are essential for moving fluids reliably, they are also one of the largest consumers of industrial energy. In fact, studies estimate that pumping systems account for nearly 20–25% of the world’s total industrial electricity use. The good news is that significant opportunities exist to improve pump energy efficiency, cutting costs and reducing environmental […]
