How Versatile Are Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)?
At one point, variable frequency drive (VFD) systems were primarily used for fixed pumping applications with permanent mounts. However, pump technology continues to evolve. VFDs are more advanced than ever, and the technology will only get more impressive. Variable frequency drives have become quite versatile. Their usage spans several industries and pump applications, including temporary […]
Achieving Efficiency in High-Pressure Pumping
High-pressure pumping applications such as chemical, petrochemical, pipeline transfer service, water injection and polyethylene terephthalic acid (PTA) reactor feeds need an API-compliant centrifugal pump that can handle flow rates of 300-1,500 gallons per minute (gpm) and heads up to 15,000 feet (4,572 meters). Why You Need Peak Efficiency In these high-pressure applications, reliable performance […]
The Importance of Shaft Alignment Training
Nearly half of the costs associated with breakdowns of rotating machines are related to shaft misalignment. Important and expensive components can wear out more quickly and cause a lot of downtime. Overall, equipment will suffer and won’t last as long if any shafts are not in complete alignment. Some of the most common issues associated […]
