Editor's Note: This article includes information obtained from various sources and research and is intended to be a general overview of recent mergers and acquisitions and how they impact the pump industry. It is not a comprehensive list.

The performance curves generated by many pump manufacturers are based on results obtained in their test facilities under tightly controlled conditions. The testing techniques used in the field can vary substantially and may or may not provide accurate results.

Sealless pumps are used when there is a need to contain toxic, dangerous and/or valuable fluids. pump system optimization
Rockwell Automation, Insyght Systems & the city of Hamilton grab the win. pump efficiency
best efficiency point and best operation point the rise of bebop in the 40s and 50s had a major effect on the style and sound of both jazz and rock and roll as a drummer with a jazz quartet during my college years the bebop artists of the 50s and 60s. pump efficiency
A “stable” curve is important for pump operation, especially for pumps in parallel operation. The higher the energy level and the more critical an installation, the more the pump curve could become an issue.
I was recently invited to visit a petrochemical facility. Management claimed the facility had an average mean time between repairs (MTBR) of more than eight years. It had a pump that had never failed since it was installed 12 years ago. I wanted to see it.
