Efficient operations of pump systems (Part 1)

The PIA’s Australian Pump Technical Handbook is a cornerstone text for the Australian pump industry and, in our opinion, a must have for anyone who deals with pumps on a regular basis. In this ongoing series, we feature abridged chapters from the classic book to showcase the various areas covered and to reacquaint readers with the technical aspects of pumps. In this issue, we look at efficient operations of pump systems.

Artificial intelligence improves pump efficiency at Melbourne Water treatment plant

Winneke treatment plant, located in the hills north east of Melbourne, was commissioned in the early 1980s to provide a treated water source to meet the growing needs of Melbourne’s developing northern and western suburbs. The plant sources water from Sugarloaf Reservoir, which is harvested from the Yarra River and Maroondah Reservoir in the east.

Impeller trimming changes in performance (Part 1)

Impeller trimming means the reduction of the impeller diameter from maximum, usually to adjust the pump performance to a required duty point. Performance curves for centrifugal pumps usually detail the performance for a number of impeller diameters between a maximum and minimum allowable diameter. Several things can happen when the impeller vane diameter is reduced.

Electrifying industry – new opportunity for improving energy efficiency

The Australian manufacturing industry is at a crossroads. Transforming the materials we dig up or grow into the products we use every day requires enormous amounts of heat, and rising electricity costs and inefficient processes means many businesses have seen their gas and electricity bills double over the last two years. A report from Beyond Zero Emissions shows there are opportunities for manufacturers to reduce costs by generating heat through the smart use of renewable electricity, with heat pumps one technology that they can take advantage of.
