Every watch crystal has its strengths and weaknesses and hopefully we’ve helped you to comprehend the differences so that you can be more conscious of your needs as you’re searching for your next watch! First you must ascertain what can be done and that depends on the kind of crystal you’ve scratched. If you do scratch a sapphire crystal, then it can’t be polished away and will want to get replaced.

Things That Must Be Considered In Crystal Watches

It should last a lifetime. If you aren’t that tough on your watch and are unsure whether you truly require sapphire, then you could always order your watch with a normal mineral crystal. Take note that a replacement may look slightly too big before it’s set up on the watch, but the installation procedure compresses the crystal for a safe fit.

In water treatment applications, different types of pumps are selected based on criteria such as:

  • System requirements
  • Flow capacity requirements
  • Discharge pressure requirements
  • Availability of space

The pumps most commonly used in water distribution systems are centrifugal, vertical turbine, and submersible pumps.

1. Centrifugal pumps

“Centrifugal pumps are the most common types of pumps used in water distribution,” says a water industry specialist working for the Woodhams Group. A circular fan or turbine-shaped impeller is mounted on a centrally supported shaft that is rotated by a motor that can be powered by diesel fuel or electricity. When water enters at the center suction a high velocity is imparted by the rotating impeller that circulates the water, throwing it outward.

2. Vertical turbine pumps

Generally used in raw water intakes and at booster stations in a water distribution system. The water is channeled through a cross-sectional, uniform area. A central impeller is situated along the axis with blades shaped in a way that allows the water to flow in a radial direction.

3. Submersible pumps

Submersible pumps are used mostly to pump groundwater from wells and are placed below the water level. It is a multi-stage centrifugal pump with impellers mounted on a vertical shaft. An electric motor that drives the pump and constructed for use in submerged operations is positioned adjacent to the pump.

Water Treatment

Pumping pure water is very different from pumping waste water. Wastewater often contains contaminants in the form of long fibres or other abrasive solids. A lot of aggressive chemicals are used in water treatment operations. Water treatment plants usually make use of continuous flow operations with points in the process for additional treatments such as filtration, dosing of chemicals, disposal of treated sludge, sedimentation, and storage. Some water treatment operations have periodic processes … Continue reading >>>

Planning your holiday for 2018 and need some inspiration?  This destination guide gives you some ideas of what to explore.   Ranging from the charms of Chile to the glorious Granada and the beaches of Bermuda, our travel experts select the top three destinations to visit during the upcoming months in 2018.

1. Italy

Italy, well known for its stunning architecture, delicious dining experiences and incredible art is one of the most popular destinations for international visitors.

Rome is beautiful, regardless of when you visit or where you go in the city. It is possible to become slightly lost, but this is not necessarily a bad thing because you can find many attractive views during your ramblings.

If you take a moment in Florence, you can enjoy the skyline views from the historical churches including the Duomo. Florence is a paradise for artists and history buffs with the Uffizi Gallery hosts some of the most spectacular pieces from the Italian Renaissance. The Florence City Tour is a must for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of the history of Italy.

2. Chile

If Brazil controlled South American travel in 2016, Chile will be taking over from 2017 onwards. Slowly and methodically, the continent is one of the most overlooked adventure tourism destinations and this is precisely why it was chosen as a destination for last year’s World Travel Awards.

Why? What makes Chile so attractive?

Chile has a geographic land space of 2,650 miles long, but it was never more than 150 miles wide. It is filled with various ecosystems, topographies and biodiversity presenting with 36 national parks, deserts and sub-polar islands. To make all of these islands and fjords accessible, it is necessary for Chile to have roads, footpaths and other infrastructure.

The capital of Chile is filled with … Continue reading >>>
