Many fluid handling applications can be affected by cavitation, but it is a particular challenge for the water and wastewater industry where a high number of pumps are deployed.
The result of cavitation is an increased risk of downtime and higher maintenance costs. The issue goes beyond the need to replace a damaged pump. In remote areas, in particular, the cost of sending... [Read More]

Most centrifugal pumps operate with a constant speed along a fixed curve. The pumps are integrated into plants with variable discharge flows. The variable flows lead to working areas where process related flowrates are below the required pump-specific minimum flow.
The pump minimum continuous flow (MCF) is the lowest permitted flowrate that the centrifugal pump can handle... [Read More]
