Filter Bags Reduce Total Cost of
Filtration: Fischer-Robertson, Hamilton Ohio
employs a common sense approach to reducing filtration costs.
Centrifugal Pump & Filter Influences:
Understanding the influence a filter has upon pump
preformance and the effects filter debris load has upon process preformance is critical in
reducing filtration costs.
High Viscosity Gel Filtration:
Resing bonded filter cartridge successfully
withstands the high differential pressures required to process 125,000centipoise silicone
cauliking.
Case Study In Bag Filtration: A midwest manufacturer of high gloss polyurethane finishes gets a
lesson in polishing filtration.
Rescuing a Grand Old Lady: Self-priming
centrifugal pumps help preserve history by pumping Ohio River water from the hull of the Louisville
Bell a turn of the century paddle boat that found herself resting on a ledge 10 feet
below the river.
Self-Cleaning
Filtration Performance Case Studies: Mechanical Seal Principles & Operation: An introduction to basic rotary mechanical seals as their applied
to centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps. Links to other mechanical seal
topics can be found on this page as well to help identify proper seal application and to
assist in troubleshooting efforts relating to mechanical seals.
Pump & Process System Protection:
Understanding positive displacement pump operation and the risk of pump and
system over pressurization is critical to process integrity, operator safety and
successful pump and process component life. Addressed are the affects of over
pressurization and proper by-pass design and function.
Centrifugal Pump Temperature Rise:
Operating a centrifugal pump far left on the performance curve results in a
significant temperature rise, erosion and cavitation. To avoid these scenarios methods for
calculating this rise in temperature, and establishing minimum flow requirements for
thermal and mechanical protection are discussed.
Diaphragm Pump Troubleshooting: Pulsation Dampening & Surge Suppression:
The control of fluid dynamics is essential to ensure efficient and safe use of
process systems. Uncontrolled fluid in motion can physically destroy a pumping system,
including the pump, piping, valves, meters, back pressure valves, rupture disks and other
in-line instrumentation and equipment.
