Glauber Goes Green: Solar Panel Installation at Facility

Leave a Comment

Recently, the Glauber Equipment team made a significant commitment to transitioning into a “green” facility by installing a 205kW rooftop solar energy system. With 612 solar panels, this $300,000 initiative will allow us to generate 222,000 kWh of energy each year, which is enough to power our entire 3,000 square foot manufacturing facility, while offsetting […]

Why Use Skid Systems for Your Processes?

Leave a Comment

Skid systems are process systems that consist of all of the components necessary for a process mounted to a frame. In addition to being used as standalone units, they can be combined to form more complex systems for larger processing operations. Some of the applications for which they are regularly employed include renewable natural gas, […]

All About Positive Displacement Pumps

Leave a Comment

What Is a Positive Displacement Pump? Positive displacement pumps (PDPs) are one of the most commonly used types of pumps. As suggested by the name, they rely on displacement mechanisms to move fluids. Unlike other types of pumps, these pumps offer the same flow capacities at a given speed regardless of inlet or discharge pressure. […]

What Is a Centrifugal Pump?

Leave a Comment

A centrifugal pump is a machine that uses rotation to impart velocity to a liquid, resulting in fluid flow, by converting rotational kinetic energy into hydrodynamic flow energy. It is the most common type of pump used in industrial processes and household purposes. Centrifugal pumps are made up of multiple components that work together, creating […]

Everything You Need to Know About Positive Displacement Pumps

There are numerous types of positive displacement pumps and understanding how they work is crucial to success. Below, Glauber Equipment provides information on common types of pumps to help readers understand the differences and choose the best type for their intended application. Diaphragm Pumps Diaphragm pumps, also known as membrane or air operated diaphragm pumps, are positive displacement […]

Differences Between Centrifugal and Positive Displacement Pumps

Leave a Comment

Pumps are mechanical devices vital to facilitating the movement of fluid. Variances in performance, ability to manage fluid viscosity, efficiency, and more mean there is no one-size-fits-all pump for every application. There are two main classes of pumps—centrifugal and positive displacement—and having a clear understanding of the differences between them is crucial when selecting the appropriate […]

Power-Saving Solutions for Low Gas Flow Situations

Leave a Comment

In landfills, biodegradable waste generates variable levels of landfill gas throughout its decomposition process. The usable landfill gas—i.e., the one suitable for powering combustion operations—generally ranges around 50% methane by volume. As such, landfills that produce low calorific volume (low-CV) gas—i.e., gas with less than 50% (typically 30% or lower) methane by volume—are less likely […]
