PROCESS MARKET: ENERGY
Energy production, from mining natural resources, to generating plants, require special industrial pumps and air handling equipment that can survive harsh applications. Ober-Read offers a portfolio of products that are uniquely designed for these services. We offer Vulcan submersible pumps designed for the harshest slurry service, such as mining dewatering, coal tunnel sumps and fly ash runoff. Vulcan also designs and builds floating barges used with our pumps and other brands of vertical turbine pumps, on settling ponds. Gardner Denver blowers are offered in Gas Sealed versions to handle Methane and other gases that are transferred at power plants, and are the leading blower used in systems for pneumatic conveying of fly ash. Price Air-Operated Diaphragm pumps offer the best anti-stall air valve in the industry, and Nikuni KTM microbubble pumps are used to reduce requirements for oxidizing chemicals such as Hydrogen Peroxide in Frack Disposal and Ash Mine Dewatering treatment processes. Let Ober-Read find the best solution for your process pumping needs.
