PUMPS & VALVES RESOURCES

  • Jersey City in New Jersey is undergoing a period of development and growth which has seen its population increase by more than 50,000 people in the last 13 years. To cater for this growth, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority is tasked with maintaining its aging water infrastructure and improving its critical water supply to ensure it can meet the needs of its customers both now and into the future.

  • Understanding how low Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) pump designs work, and why they matter, requires stepping back from component-level thinking to look at how pumps interact with the supply systems.
  • Water pumps are the quiet workhorses of manufacturing plants, as they support everything from cooling and boiler feed systems to handling wastewater and chemical processing. When water pumps run reliably, operations stay on schedule. However, when they fail, disruptions can quickly spread across an entire facility.
  • For modern pipelines and pumps, noise and vibration behavior must be considered in system design. Learn how a wastewater pumping station in Greifswald, Germany reduced pump-induced pressure fluctuations by 90%, accompanied by lower vibration levels in the discharge line, with an innovative AI-enhanced damping system.
  • A water filtration treatment plant was built in 1950, pneumatic actuators were installed on all of the filter control valves. The pneumatic actuators were not always reliable. Air compressor problems limited the availability of the pneumatics to control the filter valves.

  • Discover how installing Beck electric actuators on the aeration blower control valves has improved process stability and plant operations for a South Florida treatment plant.

  • A water treatment plant was using conventional electric actuators on valves across the facility, including the modulating Filter Effluent applications. A history of actuator problems prompted plant personnel to consider replacements.

  • Read about one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the world that recently finished a project for upgrading its sludge valve actuators.

  • As technology improves and becomes more accessible, outdated municipal wastewater systems are fast beginning to show their age. Today, water pumps come in a variety of designs that enable uses that previous generations could only have dreamed of.

  • Peristaltic pumps have emerged as a revolutionary solution in industrial pumping, offering a myriad of benefits over traditional pump technologies. Fundamental to these pumps is a simple yet ingenious component: the hose. By using advanced hose designs, these pumps can significantly increase longevity and decrease operational costs. Let's explore how these innovative pumps are reshaping industrial pumping and driving efficiency across a range of applications.

WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PUMPS AND VALVES SOLUTIONS

  • Glass Lining Submittal & Specifications

    US Pipe Fabrication’s SG-14® glass lining system delivers a robust, ASTM B1000-21–compliant solution engineered for demanding wastewater and sewage treatment applications.

  • Group 31 Quarter-Turn Compact Rotary Actuators

    Group 31 compact rotary actuators, model 31-M50, include a single analog electronic control module which receives a 4–20 mA or 1–5 V dc input signal and provides a 4–20 mA or 1–5 V dc feedback for position control and indication.

  • Group 75 Compact Rotary Actuators

    These compact rotary actuators were originally designed to control boiler windbox damper applications. Today they are used in numerous ways. Constructed with multiple mounting points makes it flexible to fit into tight areas. Great for controlling small rotary valves and damper applications. The model 75 actuators adapt to challenging heat and space configurations that other actuators cannot accommodate.

  • Multi-Turn Actuator (88-109)

    The Beck 88-109 is a continuous duty, multi-turn actuator designed to provide reliable control of rising stem and non-rising stem gate valves. Additionally, when coupled with a 1/4-turn gearbox, it is an ideal solution for large butterfly and other quarter-turn valves with high torque requirements.

  • 60" And 66" Resilient Wedge Gate Valve

    The 60" and 66” Mueller® Resilient Wedge Gate Valve offers reduced operating torque and superior resistance to wear and tear that can reduce the performance.  With extra-long, bronze wedge guides, the gate slides easily within body channels, supporting and maintaining alignment of the wedge for smooth operation.
