ABSTRACT

Note: In determining the amount of pressure or force a pump must provide to move the water or wastewater, the term pum p

Several methods are available for transporting water, wastewater, and chemicals for treatment between process equipment:

6 centrifugal force inducing fluid motion

6 volumetric displacement o f fluids, either mechanically or with other fluids

6 transfer o f momentum from another fluid

6 mechanical impulse

6 gravity induced

Depending on the facility and unit processes contained within, all o f the methods above may be important to the maintenance operator.
