-
A plain language guide to the tools and techniques needed to ensure efficiency,
Working Guide to Pump and Pumping Stations provides practicing engineer and
senior field personnel with a quick but rigorous exposition of pumps, including
applications.
- In this book, readers find expert advice for determining TDH, NPSH, BHP and
driver power requirements, discharge temperature, parallel/series operation
and their impact on the operating conditions
- developing system-head curves and performance considerations; pump selection
for multi-product operations. The book also emphasizes the understanding of
the internal workings of pumping systems and their components.
- Calculations for their selection, sizing and power output
- Contains abundant examples and problems in each chapter along with several case
studies
In your day-to-day planning, design, operation, and optimization of pumps
and pumping stations, this book will help get the job done.
It is also a quick-reference guide to formulas and methods employed in the
pump industry. Based on the author's 37 years of experience in
manufacturing and the oil and gas industry, the book presents a step-by-step
introduction to the concepts and application of pumps and pump stations,
illustrated by real-world examples, case studies, and practice problems at the
end of each chapter.
The Author has also provided an easy to use pump simulation package that may be
downloaded free of charge from the Publisher's website.
Contains numerous appendices for conversion from USCS to SI units.
Tables of properties of common liquids, properties of common pipe sizes,
in both USCS and SI units and tables of head loss in various pipe sizes.
