Schiavello, Bruno; Smith, Donald R.; Price, Stephen M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)It is well documented that the proper operation of vertical centrifugal pumps is greatly dependent upon the entire pump/piping system, which includes the piping geometry and the system operating conditions. Oftentimes, ...

Dickau, Ralph; Pardo, Carlos (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)World scale deposits of oil sands (bitumen) in North Alberta are being developed to extract hydrocarbons from the sand. A pilot facility was built to pump raw heavy tar-like bitumen in a heated state through an insulated ...

Sloteman, Donald P.; Robertson, Douglas A.; Margolin, Leo (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)Cavitation occurring in high-energy pump impellers often results in material erosion and system instabilities. Excessive erosion rates compromise life and increase ownership costs through higher maintenance and reduced ...

Cronin, Richard J.; House, David A.; Miller, Alan C. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)Nonclog pumps, as defined by the Hydraulic Institute (ANSI/HI Standard 1.3, 2000), are “pumps designed to assure maximum freedom from clogging when handling liquids containing solids or stringy material.” These pumps are ...

Postill, Julia; Leader, Malcolm E.; Kelm, Ray D.; Brown, Chesley (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)Eight vertical circulating water pumps are used to circulate condenser water at the generation station in a nuclear power plant. The pump installation is pictured in Figure 1. The motor pump system is arranged vertically ...

Prang, Allan J.; Cooper, Paul (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)In oil field applications it is often required to pump oil, gas, and water as mixtures rather than separating the fluid. Although the performance prediction of twin-screw pumps on liquids is well established, the prediction ...

Jones, Roger L.; Lickteig, Chuck; Zoppe, Jean J. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)For pump installation most experts recommend installing conventional metallic baseplates on concrete foundations and securing them to the foundation with a combination of anchor bolts and epoxy grout. Many papers have been ...

Smith, Robert A. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)While other segments of industry have slowed the biotech and pharmaceutical industries are emerging as strong growth industries. To participate in this promising growth the mechanical seal manufacturers have begun to focus ...
-
Key, Bill; Dickau, Ralph; Carlson, Bob (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)Mechanical seals were developed for a pipeline with demanding operation conditions. Natural gas liquids (NGL), refined products, and crude oil are pumped in batch mode. Seal pressure varies over a wide range and the pumps ...
-
Maxwell, Trey; Griffith, John (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)The majority of horizontally split multistage pumps were designed when packing was the only cost effective method of sealing the pumpage from atmosphere. As a result, even modern pumps employ a stuffing box pressure ...
-
Huebner, Michael (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)APIs recent release of Standard 682 Second Edition and the pending release of API 682 Third Edition and ISO 21049 represent a major revision to this standard. These revisions have greatly expanded the scope of the standard ...

Bolliger, Walter; Leibundgut, Erwin (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)This paper covers the selection criteria with respect to suction behavior and optimum efficiency of large water transport pumps to meet various system requirements. Simplicity of pump design and operating behavior of pumps ...
