A Horde of Cornell Pumps in Mongolia

A first-hand account of 14NHGH Redi-Prime® pumps installation, testing, and site training in Mongolia.

Four Cornell 14NHGH Redi-Prime pumps replaced aging Soviet infrastructure in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia. Promoting tourism from SE Asia, Europe, and Australia, the Mongolian government has been keen on improving infrastructure. Prior to arrival of the 14NHGH pumps, the treatment plant had been using only two functioning Russian pumps that required special procedures to keep in operation.

Keeping it in operation was a relative term, with the plant often running unreliably, and diverting effluent to the river during peak usage or equipment outages. The Cornell pumps were installed easily. The strange operational protocols used to keep the Russian pumps serviced did cause an initial hiccup, though. In order to start the old units, operators flooded the sump to a level that bypassed the solids screen, thus filling the inlet with solids larger than 4” in diameter. After several days of trying to determine why the new pumps weren’t working at peak efficiency, the operation was halted and pit drained. Inside one 14NHGH, a larger brick was removed from the impeller, while another pump had a tire stuck in its impeller.

After working on better start up procedures, including cleaning out the entire sump and suction piping the pumps worked well. Cornell’s commitment went not only to supply pumps, but field testing them thousands of miles away from the factory, and sending a lead engineer and training team in for a couple weeks’ worth of operation training. Efficient by Design talks not only about our product, but also our service after the sale.

Introducing Cornell Pump's V Series

Since our start in 1946, Cornell has designed and built pumps that cover a wide range of applications and duty points. We're pleased to extend our line of products with the V-Series line. The V-stands for Value, and that's just what these pumps bring to applications such as:

• Agriculture 
• Municipal/clear water utilities 
• Booster pumping 
• Water transfer 
• Process water 
• Water treatment 
• HVAC 

Designed as a medium-duty pump with 1" to 3" discharge sizes, the V- series marries reliability with the economy to produce an efficient and competitively priced unit. In all, eight models are available in horizontal close coupled and vertical mounts, with heads up to 285' and flows up to 960 GPM. This product has a silicon carbide/silicon carbide single mechanical seal provided as standard.

V-SERIES PUMP MODELS	SIZE	MAX. DIA	MAX FLOW	MAX HEAD
1VL	2" x 1" NPT	6"	160 GPM	150'
1.5VL	2" x 1.5" NPT	6"	290 GPM	148'
2VL	2.5" x 2" NPT	6"	445 GPM	144'
1VH	2" x 1" NPT	8"	230 GPM	285'
1.5VH	2" x 1.5" NPT	8"	330 GPM	260'
2VH	2.5" x 2" NPT	8"	475 GPM	215'
2.5VH	3" x 2.5" FLG	8"	620 GPM	250'
3VH	4" x 3" FLG	8"	960 GPM	242'

The three VL models have maximum 6" diameter impellers, and provide performance at lower heads than Cornell's WH series, at a lower cost point. The five VH models have maximum 8" diameter impellers, providing additional head above our current WH pump series, and performance at the lower end of our YH pump series, at a substantial cost savings.

Find more information about the V-Series on the Cornell website, including:

• Brochure explaining the features and benefits of the V-Series
• Data sheets on all eight models

The V-series is engineered to handle general purpose applications, with cost-efficient construction. V-Series pumps are durable and available in wide flow and head capabilities. 

Cornell Talks to RETA group about Refrigeration Pump Maintenance

Jon Ylvisaker, Applications Engineer and Dave Young, Northwest Regional Manager spoke to the Treasure Valley (Idaho) Chapter of the Refrigeration Engineers and Technicians Association (RETA) on Wednesday April 8, 2015. They discussed refrigeration pump maintenance, described our open-drive and hermetic refrigeration pumps, and reinforced best pump practices to the attendees.

Cornell’s knowledgeable sales and engineering staff is happy to speak to your group or association.  Please e-mail us if you have an interest in having Cornell staff speak about agricultural, mining, oil/gas, food processing, refrigeration, rental, or municipal applications. We’ll do our best to bring insights to you presentation/ meeting. info@cornellpump.com

If you want to learn more about our robust industry leading open-drive CB refrigeration pumps, or our  hermetic pumps with built-in bearing monitors that operates at 1,800 or less, the Arctic King, please visit our website.

SP Slurry Pump going strong after three years in service

An Australian sand quarry began using a Cornell 6SP rubber-lined slurry pump in May of 2012, and it has run without a seal leak since!  The sand quarry extracts approximately 50 tons per hour of materials that is fed through the Cornell 6SP as a slurry, which is then spun in a cyclone seperator to extract the usable sand. The detritus is separated from the sand and returned to the quarry area.
The sand is used in general construction projects throughout Australia, as fill and often as additive for concrete production.

The operation is active five days a week about nine hours each day, pumping a slurry of approximately 30% solids. The rubber liner and impeller help extend pump life. The 6SP has been subject to more than 1,600 start and stop instances since its installation. The pump has worked flawlessly.  General wear parts such as impeller and liner have been replaced in the three years of operation, but the Cycloseal® sealing system has not had to be replaced once. No leaks in the sealing system have occurred, and the pump has been in operation close to 7,000 hours.  The quarry manager is very impressed with the durability and reliability of the 6SP, and happy that he doesn’t have to contend with pump leaks common on competitors’ slurry pumps.
The 6SP is part of the SP series, with pumps from 2” to 12”, handling pH levels for 1 to 14 (varies depending on the lining and impeller material.)  The SP series is available in rubber or metal liners and impellers, with heads up to 235’ feet at best efficiency and flows of up to 14,000 GPM, and ability to handle a 3.5” solid.

Cornell Pump wrapped up a very successful IIAR Industrial Refrigeration Conference and Expo in San Diego.  To celebrate our new Arctic king line of hermetic pumps, we ran a drawing at the show for an iPad Mini. Randall Browning of Burris Logistics won the prize.

Users of hermetic refrigeration pumps will be winners as well with the new Arctic King—the line features exceptional hydraulics and NPSHr, operates at 1,800 RPM or lower (significantly improving pump life), and are built with renowned Cornell Pump quality and reliability. The Arctic King line also features a built-in bearing monitor that makes pump operation and maintenance even easier. Plus the Arctic King has great delivery times—one to two weeks compared with 10 weeks on average from many foreign refrigeration pump manufacturers.

Learn more about the Arctic King on the Cornell Website.

Congratulations to Randall—we even had the fast delivery (of the iPad) for you at the show!

Cornell Application Featured in TPO

Cornell had a municipal installation featured in the March 2015 edition of Treatment Plant Operator (TPO) magazine. The article explained how six 18NHFL-RP-F24K pumps solved a foaming problem at a Belgium waste water treatment plant.

The Cornell Redi-Prime feature was key to solving the foaming issue.
