Designed for chemical and water processing applications, the three-inch non-metallic pump can transfer up to 285 gpm (1079 lpm) of fluid without causing the type of damage possible from smaller capacity pumps that use higher pressures. This is a key feature for customers who want to maintain fluid integrity.

Biofuels are the answer to today’s energy concerns. While Europe is currently the leader in biodiesel production and consumption, the U.S. leads the way in bioethanol. In bioethanol distillation, water in the ethanol must be removed. Pumping systems used in ethanol distillation have special requirements, such as high flow and high fiber capability, precise temperature control and reliability. All ethanol distillation equipment must...
