Science applied with passion and experience.
Advanced engineering tools such as CAD, FEA, CFD, and proprietary software transform concepts into functional components and assemblies.
Topics I Discuss
01.
Applications
What is the pumpage and duty cycle? Are there any industry or regulatory codes in place? What is the cost of failure? Is it variable speed? Do the pumps operate in parallel? How about physical access to the site? Must the components be interchangeable?
02.
Materials
Preferred pump materials evolve. It is essential to understand the component’s functions, constraints, features, and fabrication methods available before selecting the material.
03.
Efficiency
Is efficiency really important? Certainly for pipelines and municipal services, but what about services where the pumpage is subsequently heated? Efficiency must be balanced against initial costs, maintenance costs, and cost of lost production.
04.
Configuration
API 610 standard describes 19 pump configurations. Most hydraulic conditions can be satisfied using one or more of these configurations. Often other factors (initial cost, ease of maintenance, user experience, regulations) determine the optimum configuration.
05.
Design Constraints
Is it a clean-sheet design or a drop-in replacement where the nozzles, mounting feet, and drive coupling are already in place?
06.
Self Awareness

Confidence
