With over 60 years of experience in the pump industry, Neptune® knows that improving system efficiencies and delivering peace of mind reliability means making maintenance quick and simple. Follow this step-by-step guide to correctly replace the diaphragm of your Neptune 500, 560, 600 and 6000 Series Hydraulic Diaphragm Metering Pump.

Portable mixers don’t usually get the credit they deserve, but this technology plays a pivotal role in critical industrial liquid-handling applications. Like pumps, portable mixers are an essential technology that can provide operators with several years of service if properly designed and engineered.

The function of a boiler is simple. It boils water to produce steam, which in turn provides energy. While this is a straightforward process, there are complexities within it that could affect the boiler’s integrity. The primary concern is the quality of the water.

Neptune™, part of PSG®, a Dover company, and a worldwide leader in specialty pumps, is pleased to announce the availability of 35 additional models as part of the Phase II release of its NSP Series Solenoid Metering Pumps and NXP Series Stepper Motor-Driven Metering Pumps.

Pumps are acknowledged workhorses in industrial liquid-handling applications, but there is another technology that, while not necessarily as highly recognized as the pump, plays a pivotal role in critical industrial liquid-handling applications. This technology is the portable mixer, and properly designed and engineered mixers can provide the operator with many years of service in a wide variety of blending or mixing operations.

Many industrial liquid-handling applications require the precise dosing and injection of chemicals and other raw materials on the way to creating a usable end product. This demand for precise flow rates at predetermined schedules and pressures relies on a very specific pumping technology, one that can promote adherence to the injection schedule and liquid volumes.

A technology that is growing in acceptance for use in industrial applications like water/wastewater treatment and boiler feed that require the injection of chemicals is a complete range of feeder types and styles.

There is no thing as a perfect closed-loop system, which means that such industrial activities as hot-water heating and cooling-water recirculation require assistance in order to prevent the scale buildup, corrosion and biological growth that can foul the system and hamper its operational capabilities. These hurdles can be overcome through the use of filter feeders, such as FTF Series models from Neptune™ Chemical Pump Co., that possess the ability to reliably, efficiently and cost-effectively perform both chemical-injection and contaminant-filtration functions.

Mechanically actuated diaphragm metering pumps can limit harmful effects and provide accurate metering rates.

Mechanically actuated diaphragm metering pumps can satisfy all operational requirements, especially those relating to the mitigation of the harmful effects of off-gassing.

Options of boiler systems are finding many options, with hydraulic and solenoid pumps, along with filter feeders, moving to the fore as a technology of choice in crucial chemical-injection applications.

Pumps may grab the headlines in industrial applications, but mixers are the leading technology for many critical mixing and blending tasks, provided they are configured and utilized properly.

When A Latin American oil company optimized the injection of corrosion inhibitors into its pipelines, 500 Series Hydraulic Diaphragm Metering Pumps from Neptune™ were a unanimous choice for the job.

At first glance, the treatment of municipal wastewater seems pretty straightforward – water that has been fouled flows into the wastewater-treatment facility, makes its way through the treatment system where any harmful impurities or particulates are removed, and once it has reached a predetermined level of cleanliness, is either released to the environment, i.e. a local stream or pond, or sent out for reuse.

Mechanically actuated diaphragm metering pumps can eliminate many operational concerns, including the occurrence of harmful off-gassing.
