Pumps for Oil & Gas: How to Choose the Right Pump Type for Each Process Step
The oil & gas value chain requires pumps that keep running with changing fluids, fluctuating suction conditions, and high requirements for safety and uptime. This article provides a practical selection guide: which pump fits exploration, processing, bulk storage, and transfer, and what to check before selecting a series or configuration. Quick selection guide What we […]
Concrete pumps in the cement and concrete industry: how to choose a pump that will not seize up due to wear and contamination
Concrete pumps are not only those large pump trucks on construction sites. In the cement and concrete industry, pumps are used continuously for mixing, cleaning, recycling, and pumping wastewater and slurries. In this article, you will learn where concrete pumps fit into the process, which problems you need to prevent, and which selection criteria help […]
Flood control pump: what it is, how it works, and how to choose the right one for fast dewatering
When flooding or stormwater hits, a flood control pump is not a “nice to have”. It is a response tool that needs to start fast, move large volumes of water, and keep working when the water is dirty and full of debris. This article explains what a flood control pump is, what matters when selecting […]
More new E-Line electric pump sets: more choice and broader coverage
We’re expanding the E-Line range of electric pump sets with new models. The result: more flexibility, higher available power, and broader coverage across flows and capacities, making it easier to specify the right electric pump set for your application. E-Line pump sets are built around proven, self-priming Gorman-Rupp pump technology (including the Super T, Super […]
Construction Pumping Solutions That Keep Your Project Moving
Every construction project depends on reliable pumping equipment. Whether you are lowering groundwater levels, managing stormwater after heavy rainfall, supporting horizontal directional drilling (HDD), or setting up temporary bypass systems for sewer work, pumps are central to maintaining safe and productive working conditions. When a pump fails, the site stops. When a pump performs, the […]
Modular, standardized wastewater pumping stations. More control, less complexity
Municipalities and water authorities face increasing pressure when designing, building or renovating wastewater infrastructure. Capacity must be reliable, maintenance predictable and total lifecycle costs transparent. At the same time, projects are expected to move faster and involve fewer coordination risks. A modular, standardized wastewater pumping station offers a practical answer to these challenges. Instead of […]
Pumps for Government Infrastructure: Reliable Solutions for Wastewater, Flood Control, Treatment Plants, and Irrigation
Government agencies carry a major responsibility. Municipalities, water boards, and public utilities must keep communities safe, protect the environment, and ensure that essential infrastructure operates without interruption. Pumps play a central role in this. From wastewater transport to flood protection, from treatment plants to irrigation, every system depends on equipment that delivers consistent performance in […]
Self-Priming Pumps: Reliable Solutions for Construction, Industry and Public Infrastructure
Self-priming pumps play a vital role in applications where conventional pumps would fail or require constant priming. These pumps are designed to handle air in the suction line, automatically evacuate it, and start pumping liquid without the need for a fully flooded suction. This unique capability makes them essential across three demanding sectors: construction, industry, […]
