From putting together (or putting away) the Thanksgiving feast, to deciding what you’ll say when asked what you’re thankful for this year, recall and forethought are good, if not essential, attributes to employ. The ability to draw upon extensive experience and carefully consider what’s ahead are also pretty central to what sets the Charles P. Crowley Company apart. Connecting our customers with the best equipment and solutions for today and tomorrow, and all those we get to do that with, are who and what we’re thankful for. 91 years and counting.
Plating this month’s Chatter, the first course provides a taste of what makes one metering gear pump the industry standard for precision in challenging applications. Then we serve up a submersible monovane pump, hold the jam. For the perfect finish, it is a light and airy look at next-generation aeration and mixing technology.
Now let’s chow down on some Chatter …
Manufacturer of the Month
ZENITH PUMPS, a brand of CIRCOR International, has provided pulsation-free‚ metering gear pumps and systems to meet critical process needs across a wide range of markets and applications since 1920. Precision gear pumps are an integral part of many manufacturing processes requiring metering, mixing, dispensing, coating, and extruding, where accuracy and uniformity of flow are critical.
The Zenith 9000 Series metering gear pump is the industry standard for true precision metering for challenging applications in a wide variety of industrial processes.
The design utilizes high AGMA standard external spur gears enclosed within a close tolerance housing assembly. This provides you the precise volume of fluid dispensed per shaft revolution.
The housing is constructed from a precision ground and lapped three-plate assembly. This assembly is aligned with dowels to allow close control of operating clearances. This construction method in combination with several proprietary internal features is what ensures precise, pulseless and reliable flow under varying process conditions.
With high metering accuracy, pulse-free flow, and long wear life across a wide range of fluid and pressure conditions, the Zenith Pumps brand is synonymous with high performance and reliability.
HIGH ACCURACY – Stable, repeatable flows are assured under varying conditions of temperature, viscosity and pressure.
UNIFORM FLOW – Unique design offers virtually pulseless flow without valves or flexible elements that add complexities, increase cost and hinder performance.
SPECIFIC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS – A variety of pump heads and drive combinations are pre-configured to provide you a range of standard options.
CONSISTENT PRECISION – Unparalleled mechanical precision, combined with closed-loop accuracy, ensures exact volume per revolution without expensive flow meters.
LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP – Only three moving parts and hardened abrasion resistant materials provide excellent wear, corrosion and self-lubricating performance.
PROVEN APPLICATIONS – Years of practical application experience, backed by a technical staff with a variety of technical credentials, eliminates the guesswork.
The Cutting Edge
For over 50 years, LIBERTY PUMPS has been a leading U.S. manufacturer of pumping products for ground water and wastewater removal. Liberty’s Engineered Product line (LEP) are specifically designed for municipal applications. Liberty’s broad selection of solids handling and grinder pumps offer superior quality and the latest in efficient design technology.
Liberty Pumps 3XLM05 Series Monovane hazardous location pumps provide reliable, robust performance with less jamming.
With ClearNotch™ technology, engineered material relief notches on both the impeller and volute act together to shear and clear material that could lodge between the outer impeller edge and volute.
MidTherm™ cooling provides enhanced motor cooling by increasing the volume of oil and expanding it into the mid-chamber of the pump, allowing it to be cooled by the pumped media.
Engineered with a high-level of operating efficiency and NEMA® IE3 Premium Efficiency motor construction, the Liberty Pumps line of US made submersibles offers lower operating and maintenance costs over the long-term.
Top Three
TITUS® Twister® Mixing Aerators have earned the label: Aeration Elevated. In both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, the presence of high levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gases and various chemicals can lead to pervasive odors, corrosion, and safety hazards. Moreover, they pose significant challenges in terms of maintenance and equipment longevity.
Compounded by F.O.G. (fats, oils, greases), inorganic solids, pharmaceuticals, and waterborne pathogens, these issues directly impact the efficiency and health of collection systems, pump stations, lift stations, and wet wells. TITUS has revolutionized aeration and mixing in the wastewater industry with the innovative TITUS Twister Mixing Aerator. This groundbreaking solution offers chemical-free, highly efficient mixing capabilities, mechanical breakdown of solids (without any moving parts) and fosters optimal aerobic conditions to combat wastewater challenges. At the core of its effectiveness lies a unique patented design featuring Air-Lift Technology, membrane diffusers for enhanced dissolved oxygen delivery, robust stainless steel and HDPE components, advanced odor control mechanisms, and a range of standard systems adaptable to various applications.
In essence, TITUS Twister Mixing Aerators represent the epitome of next-generation aeration and mixing technology. Through a blend of passion, expertise, and cutting-edge patented innovations, the Twister series delivers superior outcomes at reduced costs and effort.
- Provides superior aeration and mixing efficiency
- Eliminates odors without chemicals
- Engineered for enduring durability
- Simple installation and operation (can be operational within an hour)
- Requires minimal maintenance compared to alternatives
- Offers substantial and tangible savings in time and costs
