Written by an experienced engineer, this book contains practical information on all aspects of pumps including classifications, materials, seals, installation, commissioning and maintenance. In addition you will find essential information on units, manufacturers and suppliers worldwide, providing a unique reference for your desk, R&D lab, maintenance shop or library.* Includes maintenance techniques, helping you get the optimal performance out of your pump and reducing maintenance costs * Will help you to understand seals, couplings and ancillary equipment, ensuring systems are set up properly to save time and money * Provides useful contacts for manufacturers and suppliers who specialise in pumps, pumping and ancillary equipment

Written from the perspective of industrial users, this is the only book that describes how to install an effective firewater pumping system in a pragmatic and budget-conscious way rather than with purely the regulatory framework in mind. Based on the wide-ranging industrial experience of the author, this book is also the only one that deals with the particular risks and requirements of off-shore facilities. This book takes the reader beyond the prescriptive requirements of the fire code (NFPA, UL) and considers how to make the best choice of design for the budget available as well as how to ensure the other components of the pumping system and supporting services are optimized. - The only alternative to guides written by regulatory enforcement bodies, this book is uniquely practical and objective – demonstrating how and why the standards need to be met - Covers a wide range of industries, including those with exceptional requirements such as off-shore petroleum facilities and chemical plants - Written by someone who has been responsible for the safety of large numbers of workers and billions of dollars worth of equipment, for those in similarly responsible positions

Pumping Station Design, Second Edition shows how to apply the fundamentals of various disciplines and subjects to produce a well-integrated pumping station that will be reliable, easy to operate and maintain, and free from design mistakes. In a field where inappropriate design can be extremely costly for any of the foregoing reasons, there is simply no excuse for not taking expert advice from this book. The content of this second edition has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by many qualified experts. The depth of experience and expertise of each contributor makes the second edition of Pumping Station Design an essential addition to the bookshelves of anyone in the field.
