Industrial trash pumps are handy pieces of equipment for successful pipeline dewatering processes in various terrains and environments. These are also substantially useful in excavation, mining, and construction excavation. 

What Are Pumps? Pumps are designed to perform one primary function; transference of liquids from one location to another. They are used in various industries such as water plants, sewage systems, construction, mining and extraction. Pumps save hundreds of labor hours due to advances in modern technology however, it was a work in progress for …

Why Is There a Need for High-Level Drilling Crews Any operation, whether military, healthcare or chemical extraction can be mentally challenging for team members. A high performing team needs to be developed to operate successfully to solve the problem at hand. Delicate and dangerous operations should have no room for human error and thus instead …

What is a Pressure Gauge? A pressure gauge is a process instrumentation equipment that measures and displays pressure levels of liquid and gas. It is widely used in industrial applications such as electrical plants, energy production, mining and extraction and other industries.

What is Standpipe Pressure? Standpipe pressure is the sum of all pressure loss that occurs due to fluid friction. It is mainly used for oil drilling and extraction operations. A large pipe is let down into a well, thousands of feet into the ground where mud is extracted and replaced with another fluid to control …

What Are Pump Impellers And What Are They Used For? A pump impeller is the rotating component of the centrifugal pumps that transfer fluids from one location to another. The design of the pump impeller is significant in controlling the flow efficiency.

The working conditions of workers in the oil and gas industry are harsh, particularly in Canada. It’s also a hazardous job due to the risk of injuries and fatalities involved. While safety programs are in place for oil industry workers, more can be done to ensure their safety.

2020 has been an atrocious year for the Canadian oil industry. It has been the worst year in modern times, and 2021 isn’t going to be drastically different. In the annual forecast released by Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors (CAODC), they expect 2021 to be slightly better. Minor improvements are all that can be …

A pressure gauge is an instrument used across many industries, like construction, oil drilling, and for other industrial applications. As the name implies, it’s a tool that helps operators calculate the air pressure at various levels of elevation. Pressure gauges are installed on tower cranes to indicate any hazardous lifting situations.

Drilling rigs are mammoth structures built to drill for oil, water, and even natural gas. A combination of hydraulic and electronic equipment are used on these rigs. The instrumentation used on oil rigs tends to be more advanced to ensure safety and efficiency.
