    Fire Pump Suction Issues

    I guess the most frustrating part is that the city will be adding on to the main in the future and looping it back to another exsisting main. This loop should aliviate the situation but they are not wanting to make an acception here for this, in their own estimation, temporary problem. This is a...

    Fire Pump Suction Issues

    I have a ESFR system that requires 1370 gpm from the pump. The supply is 73 static and 44 residual. Pleanty of water to make this happen.

    Ethanol plant

    As a fitter that is currently installing my 27th Ethanol plant, I have picked up a few things along the way.I have installed in plants built by Fagen Inc, Poet (Broin), and ICM. I am guessing that you are not working with any of these companies as they have their fire protection requirements...
