A reference for the chemical engineer on the application, selection, construction, procurement, installation, operation, and maintenance of the three basic types of pumps used in chemical processing: centrifugal, rotary, and reciprocating. Emphasizes aspects that cause practical operating problems, and provides a guide to determining a pump's duty; selecting the most appropriate pump type, materials, and seal; choosing the manufacturer; and installing, operating, and maintaining the pump.
