    Pump Inlet Conditions?

    Ok, let's see if I can explain this better. I have a 4" line coming into an old pump. The line is providing 4' of static head and the line runs 8 ft from the wet pit to a pump placed in a dry pit. A gate valve is 5 ft from the inlet of the pump, and this is where I would like to expand...

    Cast Iron in a citric acid environment

    This pump is being placed in wastewater. No need to worry about contamination. Would contamination be slowed if the pump is continually submersed (no exposure to air)? Are the anodes going to dissolve rapidly (how fast compared to seawater)? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Cast Iron in a citric acid environment

    I am designing a pump station that includes a cast iron submersible pump. The pumping medium is water that includes pineapple juice. I am concerned about corrosion, and am considering using zinc anodes to help combat the corrosion. Will this work? Thank you for your replies, Jason Reber...
