Fluid Handling Technology News & Innovations
Fluid Handling Pumps can be defined as mechanical devices that add energy to fluids to increase the flow rate and static pressure. All fluid pumps are classified as either positive displacement (Hydraulic) pumps or dynamic pumps and are used to accomplish this process. Fluid pumps are all pumps designed to handle industrial fluid elements. The capability of fluid pumps is influenced by flow rate, pressure, power, head and efficiency.
Fluid pumping systems have a wide range of applications varying from circulating water and pumping chemicals to maintaining pressure. This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in fluid handling and pumping systems.
In 1950, Landia’s Christian Oelgaard invented the Chopper Pump. Seventy years on, how is it that this piece of equipment has not only stayed the course, but now seems more relevant than ever?
Read moreLast year, Eastman contacted Egger with regards to one of its pumps which plagued them for years because it is in a high temperature (240°C) / low pressure (<1 bar or ~10 psig) service that contains water, which in turn, produces over 10% entrained gas by volume as water vapor.

Stéphane Dumonceaux (Side Industrie SAS)Stéphane Dumonceaux is a French “Water-Man”! We can say that water is his life! Mr. Dumonceaux was sailing since he was a child and started out his career working 3 years on the water in the French Navy. He gained 7 years of experience in the hydraulic construction, pump industry, and water treatment in the field of wastewater. After this, he developed a new method for pump stations rehabilitation and invented Direct In-line Pumping for lift stations in a period of 12 years at S.I.D.E. Industrie. Today he is the owner of SIDE Industrie. After years of time spending his time fixing customers their problems in the field of wastewater, he realized that they needed something different. In 2002 he invented and patented the Direct, Intelligent and Clean way to transport wastewater called the DIP System. S.I.D.E Company. The first system has been manufactured and installed in 2003. Now Mr. Dumonceaux spent his time introducing promoting and deploying the DIP System® all over the World. Mr. Dumonceauxand is still working with lots of passion in improving the vital relationship between humans and water!
Gregg Johnson (Cole-Parmer)Gregg Johnson, Sr. Global Product Manager, Cole-Parmer is a 40 year veteran of the fluid handling industry. His experience covers fluid handling applications in all industries and product development in peristaltic pump technology. His early career focused on product development with the Masterflex® brand peristaltic pumps managing development of the core digital pump drive products, the Easy-Load® pump head technology and consumable tubing development.
