Work Starts on $15 million Queensland Wastewater Treatment Plant
WORK HAS BEGUN on a new $15 million wastewater treatment plant in Cherbourg, Queensland, which includes new pump station infrastructure and irrigation system for one of Queensland’s largest indigenous communities.
Stage one of the wastewater infrastructure project began with earthworks for a series of ponds on a site away from the township entrance and homes.
How Efficient Is Your Pump System?
IN A HYPOTHETICAL world, if the Department of Energy (DOE) showed up at your plant to conduct an energy audit of the pump systems, what grade would you receive?
Do you get an A … or an F? Plant owners and managers are faced with balancing scores of urgent priorities every day—stock holders on one side demanding the plant run continuously to keep the profits high, and engineering (reliability) and maintenance on the opposite side screaming, “we need to shut down to fix the plant.”
Cyclone Separators on Board at Australia’s Leading Mechanical Pump Seals Suppliers
CYCLONIC SEPARATION is a method of removing particulates from an air, gas or liquid stream, without the use of filters, through vortex separation.
When removing particulate matter from liquids, a hydrocyclone is used; while from gas, a gas cyclone is used.
Nanobubbles Generation Using a Centrifugal Multiphase Pump
A RESEARCH paper ‘Nanobubbles: Generation using a multiphase pump, properties and features in flotation’ has been published in Elsevier journal Minerals Engineering.
The importance of nanobubbles is now widely known, particularly their applications and potential in mineral processing.

New Dairy Effluent Pump Creates Irrigation Efficiencies
A HIGH EFFICIENCY dairy effluent pump from NOV Mono has delivered significant benefits to an agricultural irrigation project in New Zealand.
The MonoTM progressing cavity pump has helped increase irrigation efficiency at a farm in Te Awamutu, on the country’s North Island.
Optimizing Air Usage in AODD Pumps
The incorporation of an innovative air control spool into the design of the new ADS is what gives it the ability to arrest air loss at the conclusion of each pumping stroke, which helps make it up to 60 percent more efficient than other ADS technologies.
NEXT GENERATION ADS can reduce air consumption for improved efficiency and reduced operating costs.
Successful industrial operations measure success in many ways – such as operational equipment efficiency, productivity and safety, to name a few. Almost always, they can be grouped into one of three categories:
