Optimizing Operations: A Guide to Interpreting Air Diaphragm Pump Curves

In the realm of industrial operations, efficiency is paramount. Whether it’s in manufacturing, chemical processing, or wastewater treatment, optimizing processes can lead to significant cost savings, increased productivity, and enhanced safety. One crucial component in many industrial setups is the air diaphragm pump. Understanding its performance characteristics is vital for maximizing its efficiency. Before delving into pump curves, it’s essential to grasp the basics of air diaphragm pumps. These pumps are versatile and find application across various industries due to their ability to handle a wide range of fluids. They operate using compressed air, which alternately flexes a diaphragm, creating suction and discharge strokes to move [...]

Reading and Understanding AODD Pump Curves – Part of the Prescription

Reading and Understanding AODD Pump Curves – Part of the Prescription I have always used the work “prescribe” rather than suggest or recommend an AODD model for an application. Just as when you go to the doctor and they diagnose your ailments they ask a series of questions and take a series of measurements or readings (weight, height, temperature, blood pressure) and then diagnoses your situation. Not that I am comparing what we do to a doctor but the process is the same. We ask, “What’s problem are you trying to solve (pump a fluid from point A to point B)?” and “What are your symptoms [...]
