What are canned pumps?
The word “Canned” gets associated with pumps in two contexts – one, in respect of “Canned Motor Pumps” and another in respect of pumps handling volatile liquids like LPG, where a vertical pump has a can around it, deep enough to provide the NPSHr of the pump by virtue of the suction impeller getting as much positive head. Q. Wanted some information on Osmotic / Osmatic Pumps. From the name of your company you seem to be involved with water treatment. Reverse Osmosis is a process for purification of water by forcing the raw water through osmotic membrane. Osmosis is a natural phenomenon, by which thinner liquid will travel towards a thicker liquid, even if the two liquids are separated by a permeable membrane. But, for purification, raw water, which is thicker, has to travel across the membrane. This is contrary to natural phenomenon of osmosis. Hence the raw water is required to be forced. And the process is called Reverse Osmosis (RO). The pressure required is quite high, depending up
