Designed for industrial processes that incorporate pumps such as condensate pumps, boiler feedwater pumps or low pressure centrifugal pumps, Model RTK brings together a pump protection recirculation valve and a control valve.

The Hydraulic Institute launched a pump savings calculator to assist specifiers and end users in determining energy- and cost-efficient pump systems for process applications. Offered as a no-cost downloadable tool, it factors the impacts of potential energy savings, based on the HI Energy Rating, alongside other variables like initial cost, installation and maintenance.

Since this column will appear in our January issue, I can finally tell you about a project that has been in the works for quite a while: our new eBook on thermal fluid heating for industrial processes.

The GNX Series has been designed to optimize the transfer of noncorrosive, nonabrasive industrial and petroleum products for portable and stationary applications.

Hydra-Cell offers a maximum flow capacity of 65.7 gal/min and pressure ratings up to 700 psi for models with brass, ductile iron, or 316L stainless steel (metallic) pumps heads.

An incentive program for efficient pumps is the first to earn the HI Energy Rating Label from the Hydraulic Institute. Utility company Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) developed the program to serve its clients in the West.

Because water has low viscosity at higher temperatures, it cannot cool itself as it runs through a system. The hotter water gets, the higher its pressure will get. It is, therefore, important to specify the right hot water circulation pump for your process. Click here to determine if your process requires a pump with a mechanical seal or if a sealless pump is a better option.

Simmons Pump LLC and Simflo Pumps Inc. have merged. The combined company, which will be privately held and operate under the Simflo name and brand, will engineer, manufacture, source and deliver pump products and technologies for major industrial users.

Model SKGF Fahrenheit high temperature/high endurance submersible pumps are designed to pump noncorrosive or corrosive, solid-laden liquids reaching up to 200°F (93°C).

The Canadian Institute for Energy Training, in collaboration with the Hydraulic Institute, will host a pump systems optimization course May 23 at the Ramada Plaza in Toronto.
