Posted by David Ghiraldini on | Comments Off on Process Piping Solutions
The effectiveness of process operations often depends highly upon the use of quality process piping systems. Without the process piping, industry in New York, Philadelphia, and other surrounding areas would not have the ability to seamlessly transport and covert materials for the function of various systems in their day to day operations. At Rapid Pump and Meter Service Co., Inc. and Machinery Services Corp., we are your source for an array of exceptional quality process piping solutions and particularly for those which apply to the Municipal, Industrial, Commercial and Transportation sectors.
What is Process Piping?
Process piping consists of a series of pipes arranged and connected for the purposes of conveying a substance such as gas, liquid, or other fine materials. This piping may be manufactured from several materials such as iron, aluminum, or concrete, depending the on industry and application. The piping material must be designed to handle specific operating conditions to ensure the piping is safe for use under certain parameters such as pressure, temperature, erosion, or corrosion.
The industries in which process piping systems are used includes water, manufacturing, chemical engineering, food production, and more. Each industry uses process piping solutions for the efficient transfer of substances and materials in process industries.
Types of Process Piping
When it comes to process piping, Philadelphia, PA, New York, and similar surrounding areas, companies rely on different types of piping to meet the requirements of certain applications. Every industry must adhere to a unique set of safety regulations which determines the piping material to use. Other regulations dictate the substances certain piping can carry and how piping is to be cleaned. Depending on these factors, some industries may need process piping that can handle high pressures while other require pipes that convey slow moving liquids.
Process piping systems are involved in various operations, including gathering of materials or substances, transporting them, and distributing them. These different operations are coordinated to deliver a comprehensive service to the end customer.

Posted by David Ghiraldini on | Comments Off on What is a Roots Blower?
A Roots blower was the invention of Francis and Philander Roots. They created it in 1854, patenting it in 1860. This is a rotary positive air blower. This pump became known as the Roots Blower in New York, New Jersey and the state where it was first manufactured, Indiana. It is available with either two or three lobe versions as a standard.
The Root blower has always been an integral part of aeration of liquids, be they for chemical mixing for metallizing or aeration of tanks to aid in the municipal wastewater process.
Root blowers are also an integral component in the operation of many manufacturing industries, conveying of products for transportation within piping, mixing of products, or aeration of food processing as well as agriculture for industrial water treatment.
How Does a Roots Blower Work?
A positive displacement lobe pump, a root blower uses meshing lobes. These rotate within a tight housing. The pump moves the Air or Gas from the inlet or suction side to the outlet or pressure side passing between two components: the housing and the meshing lobes. As a positive displacement machine it does not create pressure but reacts to pressure in the system.
To discover more about the working of a Roots blower, contact the experienced professionals on staff at Rapid Pump & Meter Service Co., Inc. They can help guide you through the selection process to determine what Roots blower will serve your application best.
Posted by David Ghiraldini on | Comments Off on Sewage Pumps and Their Care
Sewage pumps are not sump pumps. In New York, commercial businesses, industrial companies and municipalities use them to remove not only wastewater but also liquid and solid waste to a sewage system or septic tank. They are constructed to handle different sizes of materials flushed down the toilet or from various other industrial and commercial applications. To achieve this goal, they utilize gravity.
Two types of sewage pumps are common in New Jersey and surrounding areas. These are effluent pumps and grinder pumps. Many are categorized by methods of waste removal including:
Agitator pumps – utilizing kinetic energy
Centrifugal pumps – using centrifugal force
Macerator pumps – are used to empty the sewage from its holding tanks
Maintenance
If installed correctly, the sewage system will not demand copious attention. A regular check-up will ensure its continuance. However, this does not mean you cannot ensure its smooth operation. Some actions you can take are:
Do not flush down materials or objects that are not flushable
Never flush down large objects
Do not empty kitty litter or pet waste into the toilet
Overall, remember, the toilet is NOT a garbage disposal unit.
Here, at Rapid Pump & Meter Service Co., Inc., our experts can help you choose the right sewage pump from among the various ones we offer, the one meeting your specific application and requirements. We also can provide you with more information on dos and don’ts to ensure sewage pumps in New York, New Jersey and surrounding areas, perform to their optimal capabilities.

Posted by David Ghiraldini on | Comments Off on What Are the Differences Between Process Piping and Plumbing?
Understanding the differences between plumbing and process piping requires some specific information about how and where these types of piping are used. At Rapid Pump and Meter Service Co., Inc. and Machinery Services Corp., we offer a wide range of services that can address the needs involving process piping and plumbing. New Jersey and surrounding area customers rely on our knowledge and experience to service their industrial pump stations and other equipment in a reliable and efficient manner.
Plumbing
Plumbing incorporates processes that involve the distribution of liquid and chemical substances through piping networks. Plumbing is usually associated with the pipes which are connected to shower and faucet systems. Process piping, on the other hand, includes pipes that service processing machines, which are often located in factories.
Process Piping
Process piping functions outside of a building’s mechanical systems and is aimed instead at the production of a particular product. It is used to convert liquids, gases, and chemical into tangible, useful products. Process piping is used to convey substances other than water for water distribution which is used for cleaning, bathing, and drinking.
The components of a process piping system are interconnected and can include flanges, separators, traps, pressure hoses, gaskets, strainers, and more. These components are arranged and connected in such a manner as to separate, disseminate, and control to stop the transport of substances with the piping system.
A Key Difference Between Plumbing and Process Piping
Building codes tend to define the difference between process piping and plumbing. Plant developers must adhere to engineering codes when designing process piping systems to ensure the proper piping and other related design aspects are used and followed. A proper plumbing system installation requires adherence to the relevant plumbing code to ensure all code requirements are met.
Plumbing systems should comply with the use of certain materials, for example copper pipes as mandated by state laws. Manufacturers and designers have more flexibility when it comes to the materials used in a process piping system. Engineers must choose materials and components that do not interfere with the proper production of the end product.

Posted by David Ghiraldini on | Comments Off on Pump Station Repair vs. Replacement
As a plant or pump station operator or engineer, you want your equipment on site to operate efficiently for many years to come. When it comes to lift station pump repair, New Jersey pump station operators expect exceptional quality repairs they can rely on for the long term. In other cases, it may become necessary to replace the entire pump station. New Jersey, New York and surrounding area customers are served by our team at Rapid Pump and Meter Service Co., Inc. and Machinery Services Corp. that can do both. We offer efficient water and wastewater solutions for contractors, engineers, and developers for commercial, municipal, and industrial applications.
Pump Replacement
If a new development is being performed on an existing plant and if the pump station was added with the last decade, the average daily flow rate should be evaluated to determine if the plant could handle a greater flow rate. If the increased demands are too high, you may need to replace the pumps or even the pump station. The reason for pump station problems could be that the pump station is close to the end of its service life. This may be due to a higher quantity of solids in the waste stream or H2S corrosion.
Pump Repair
When it comes to lift station pumps with mechanical seal issues, replacing the individual parts of the system can address the issue. However, if a new development or new infrastructure requires support, regardless of how well the existing equipment is operating, it will probably need to be replaced since it is not designed to handle the new capacity to be produced by the new development.
Sometimes EPA will mandate replacements of equipment to municipalities that have degrading infrastructure. The budgets of municipalities play a part in the decisions to repair or replace systems.
For information about the lift station pump repair and replacement and other services we offer for pump stations in the New Jersey and New York region, including services for machinery, pumps, and instrumentation, call us today at 973.345.5600 or send us a message through our contact form.
Posted by David Ghiraldini on | Comments Off on What is a Submersible Pump?
Submersible pumps are a type of wastewater and sewage removal devise. Unlike other types of sewage pumps, it has been designed to be submerged under the very water it is to displace. While some pumps may be partially in the water, a Submersible Pump is completely covered. Our customers in New York, New Jersey and surrounding areas generally use Submersible Pumps to drain slurry or sewage. However, submersible pumps are also employed to drain flooding water and ponds.
How Does A Submersible Pump Work?
The submersible pumps we sell and service in New York, New Jersey and operate using a motor and a rotating propeller. The motor is completely sealed from any exterior elements, notably wastewater and is coupled as close as possible to the actual body of the submersible pump. Level sensors act to help control its functions.
The energy produced by the rotating impeller is converted into kinetic energy then into pressure energy. This motion pushes the water outward and to the surface. The amount of water a submersible pump can displace depends upon the horsepower of the pump. Different models are designed to handle a specific water draining task.
Advantages
What makes submersible pumps advantageous to many operations are the following three characteristics:
They do not require priming, ever
They are very efficient
Unlike many sewage pumps, they are very quiet
To learn more about how a submersible pump may function best in your company’s tank sewage system, contact the knowledgeable staff at Rapid Pump & Meter Service Co., Inc.
