  2. Pumping station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

    Water pumping stations are differentiated from wastewater pumping stations in that they do not have to be sized to account for high peak flow rates. They have five general categories: [3] Source (such as a well) pump discharging into an elevated tank; Raw water pumping from a river or lake; In-line booster pumping into an elevated tank

  3. Circulator pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulator_pump

    The traditional hot water recirculation system uses the existing cold water line as return line from the point of use located farthest from the hot water tank back to the hot water tank. The first of two system types has a pump mounted at the hot water heater while a "normally open" thermostatic control valve gets installed at the farthest ...

  4. Water pumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

    Due to the rotation, water is then picked up by the tube and pumped upwards in the hose. The coil pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. It is currently still used by farmers in Asia. [1] The coil pump was built as an alternative to the Archimedean screw. Unlike the Archimedean screw ...

  5. Fuel polishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_polishing

    Fuel polishing is the technical cleaning process used to remove or filter microbial contamination from oil and hydrocarbon fuel in storage. It is essentially the removal of water, sediment and microbial contamination from such fuels as diesel, red diesel and biodiesel. This fuel contamination, also known as 'fuel bugs', or 'diesel bugs', or 'so ...

  6. Gasoline pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_pump

    A gasoline pump or fuel dispenser is a machine at a filling station that is used to pump gasoline (petrol), diesel, or other types of liquid fuel into vehicles. Gasoline pumps are also known as bowsers or petrol bowsers (in Australia and South Africa ), [ 2 ] [ 3 ] petrol pumps (in Commonwealth countries), or gas pumps (in North America ).

  7. Fuel pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_pump

    A Fuel pump is a component used in many liquid-fuelled engines (such as petrol/gasoline or diesel engines) to transfer the fuel from the fuel tank to the device where it is mixed with the intake air (such as the carburetor or fuel injector). Carbureted engines often use low-pressure mechanical pumps that are mounted on the engine.

  8. Vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_recovery

    Vapor recovery towers are also used in the oil and gas industry to provide flash gas recovery at near atmospheric pressure without the chance of oxygen ingress at the top of the storage tanks. The ability to create the vapor flash inside the tower often reduces storage tank emissions to less than six tons per year, exempting the tank battery ...

  9. Degasser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degasser

    For a small amount of entrained gas in a drilling fluid, the degasser can play a major role of removing small bubbles that a liquid film has enveloped and entrapped. [1] In order for it to be released and break out the air and gas such as methane, H 2 S and CO 2 from the mud to the surface, the drilling fluid must pass through a degassing technique, and it can be accomplished by the equipment ...
