Process Engineering Pumps: Saving energy with fluid handling Chemical Processing

This article from Ross Mackay, an exclusive contributor to ChemicalProcessing.com and author of The Practical Pumping Handbook, discusses how you can save energy in your plant with proper pump selection.

In some parts of the country, we have just come through one of the hottest summers on record. Air conditioners were going crazy and the power draw approached critical “brown-out” levels.

Products & Services
Inductors, Coils, and Chokes
Inductors coils and chokes are passive components that are designed to resist changes in current and store energy in the form of a magnetic field. 
Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use an electrolytic process to form the dielectric. Wet electrolytic capacitors have a moist electrolyte. Dry or solid electrolytic capacitors do not.
Industrial Tapes
Industrial tapes are used for adhesive bonding, thread sealing, masking, packaging, wrapping, electrical insulation, ESD control and other specialized applications.
Peening Shot
Peening shot and beads are small metal balls or glass beads that are used to impact compressive stresses into part surfaces and to deburr sharp edges without removing material.
Adhesive Tapes
Adhesive tapes are used to assemble materials or parts together using a sticky chemical bond.
