for the midstream and upstream oiland-gas
markets. These pumps can
transfer low-, mid- and high-viscosity
fluids, and are designed to withstand
deadhead and dry-run conditions with
no damage to the pump or surrounding
equipment, says the manufacturer.
They provide flowrates to 50 gal/
min (379 L/min) and pressures to 100
lb/in2 (6.9 bars). - Graco, Inc., Minneapolis,

Miniature diaphragm gas
pumps are versatile for OEMs
The Boxer 20K miniature diaphragm
pumps, the KPV miniature gas vacuum
pumps, and the KPMS (Square)
miniature gas pumps combine small
size, light weight and low cost. They
are available
to address the needs
of original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) producing various analyzers,
air-sampling devices and other
monitoring devices. These miniature
pumps range in length from 12 mm
(0.47 in.) to 55 mm (2.2 in.). - Clark

Progressing-cavity pump offers
easy access for maintenance
The NEMO progressing-cavity pumps
(photo) are known for their continuous,
gentle and low-pulsation conveyance
of almost any substance, including
sludge. The FSIP (full service-in-place)
version of the NEMO progressing-cavity
pump (photo) gives operators full
access to the pump's rotating parts,
allowing them to open the pump cavity
onsite, dismantle all rotating parts
and install them again without removing
the pump from the pipe assembly.
This helps to reduce installation
and maintenance time. The new
iFD-Stator 2.0 features a two-part,
reusable stator housing and replaceable
stator. Compatible with all NEMO
NM Series progressing-cavity pumps,
the iFD-Stator 20 helps to reduce energy
and maintenance costs, says the
company. - Netzsch Pumps North

Robust air-driven liquid pump
enjoys long lifespan
The AHL118 is a high-volume, double-ended,
double-acting high-pressure
pump (photo) that is designed
for oil-and-gas, chemical, industrial
and research applications. The pump
operates to pressures up to 23,000
psi and delivers 5.6 gal/min (25.5 L).
The AHL118 is designed to be extremely
robust, with an unscratchable,
carbon-based coating on the
plunger, making it three times harder
than Stellite, according to the manufacturer.
This, coupled with hydraulic
parts that are manufactured
Graco
from
stainless steel, helps to extend the
lifespan of the seals while reducing
downtime, repairs and servicing,
helping to improve mean time between
maintenance (MTBM) and increasing
safety. - Parker Autoclave

Intelligent metering pump
meets demanding standards
The Excel XR Intelligent Metering
Pumps (photo) are designed to provide
accuracy, reliability and process-control
flexibility in a wide array of industrial
and municipal water- and wastewater-treatment
applications. They are
available in two control configurations
(manual and enhanced). They can
communicate with digital or analog devices
to administer a variety of control
schemes, such as pulse input, timed
events, or batch processes. Remote
connectivity enables control and feedback
in realtime. These pumps feature
a backlit color display that allows for
navigation in five languages. A series
of training videos are available online.

Latest addition extends the
flowrates in this pump family
The Qdos suite of high-accuracy
chemical-metering pumps now includes
the Qdos 120, which offers
flows up to 31.7 gal/h at a maximum
pressure of 58 psi, which is double the
flow of existing Qdos peristaltic metering
pumps. The new Qdos 120 has
been designed to deliver continuous,
smooth flow for optimal fluid mixing;
its high accuracy provides savings and
increased process quality. It has no
valves or seals to clog, leak, gas-lock
or corrode. The only consumable part
on Qdos 120 pumps, the ReNu pumphead,
can be replaced in 60 s to return
the pump to its as-new state, says its
maker.- Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology
