What Is an Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm Pump & How Does it Work?

An air-operated double diaphragm pump (positive displacement pump or reciprocating pump) may be simple in design but that doesn’t stop it from operating across challenging environments. These mechanical pumps are appropriate for on-off cycling, continuous, and on-demand intermittent requirements. In this blog, we will discuss the following points: Definition of AODD pumps Features and benefits […]

What Happens During A Typical Fracking Operation?

Fracking or hydraulic fracturing has been in use for over 60 years and has been developed and refined over the years to help streamline the extraction and reduce the impact on the environment. Hydraulic fracturing is a process used to extract oil or gas by using high-pressure liquid to open fissures in rock formations where […]

The Process of Dewatering Construction Sites Explained

Dewatering is the process of removing groundwater and surface water from an excavated site. It’s crucial to perform dewatering to create dry and stable soil before construction begins. Although natural evaporation helps remove some groundwater, dewatering pumps with large air-handling capacity assist in most water removal across construction sites. Once industries finish dewatering construction sites, […]

Stormwater Tanks

The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines stormwater as rainwater or melted snow that runs off into streets, lawn and other sites. Stormwater management refers to efforts to reduce stormwater runoff into surrounding areas and improve water quality. What Do Stormwater Detention Tanks Do? In developed areas, surfaces like pavement and roofs prevent precipitation from […]

Stormwater Detention Tanks: A Comprehensive Guide

The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines stormwater as rainwater or melted snow that runs into streets, lawns, and other sites. Suppose you plan on building a house in a flood-prone area. In that case, local regulations mandate you detain the stormwater, manage runoff, and ensure that the accumulated stormwater does not cause any environmental […]
