Traditionally, progressive cavity (PC) pumps have been regarded as the best solution for the most demanding fluid handling challenges.
They excel at handling highly viscous, abrasive and debris-laden media, making them particularly effective in wastewater treatment facilities.
Despite these advantages, conventional PC pumps have gained a reputation for difficult and... [Read More]

With no need for compressed air, early electric actuators can operate with less sound and less maintenance than the predominant pneumatic actuator.
Of course, the standard pneumatic option offered its own apparent benefits – performance in extreme temperatures, for example, and an elegant simplicity. As a result, the flow control industry has stubbornly clung to pneumatic... [Read More]

Protecting health and safety at tank farms used as large warehousing facilities for volatile liquids is a serious business.
For many facilities, using an inert gas like nitrogen to fill the “empty” space in each tank is an effective safety measure, but is expensive.
Tank farms
Tank terminals or tank farms are large storage facilities for chemical warehousing.... [Read More]
