In the oil and natural gas industry, amine scrubbing is a necessary process. It is used in natural gas processing plants to ensure the quality of natural gas before selling or further processing. We will also look at amine scrubbing pumps and how to select the right one. In this article, we’re going to have an overview of the amine…

Extracting oil and gas comes with various challenges, one of which is how to deal with the produced water that comes with the oil and gas. In this article, we are going to take a look at produced water: What is produced water Produced water treatment How to dispose of produced water Produced water fracking We're also going to have…

The axial and radial loads placed on the impeller have an important effect on the reliable operation of a pump. Since the impeller is rigidly connected to the rotor bearings if these loads become too large the excessive bearing heat and shortened life may be experienced. Typically the pump is designed so that these loads are minimized, but some amount…

Enclosed and semi-open impellers are both widely used in centrifugal pump design. While enclosed impellers are typically considered more efficient, both designs have merits and are suited for different applications. In this discussion, we will be addressing single-inlet impellers, which are typically used for end-suction style pumps. Semi-Open vs Enclosed Impellers:  Flow Enclosed impeller sandwich vanes between a front and…
