#High-Pressure Slurry Pump

[dk-thrive]

So you’ve written that our attention is getting fracked. What do you mean by that?

D. GRAHAM BURNETT: Fracking. I suspect most of your listeners have heard that term. Fracking is mostly associated with this idea of getting petroleum resources out of the earth. But it’s a new technology for doing that. In the old days, pre major exploitation of petroleum resources, there were these big, juicy zits of high-value crude oil just sitting there in the earth, waiting to geyser up if you tapped them. Drill a hole — whew, gusher.

We’ve tapped all that out. The only way you can get the remaining petroleum and natural gas resources out of the deep earth is to pump down in there high pressure, high volume detergent, which forces up to the surface this kind of slurry, mixture of natural gas, crude oil, leftover detergent, and juice and nasty stuff, which you then separate out, and you get your monetizable crude.

This is a precise analogy to what’s happening to us in our contemporary attention economy. We have a, depending on who you ask, $500 billion, $3 trillion, $7 trillion industry, which, to get the money value of our attention out of us, is continuously pumping into our faces high-pressure, high-value detergent in the form of social media and non-stop content that holds us on our devices. And that pumping brings to the surface that spume, that foam of our attention, which can be aggregated and sold off to the highest bidder.

   “Go Rin, yeah, go, go!” Nozomi yelled from the side of the field.

   Rin and her fellow futsal players were out in the grass, beat down by a harsh, summer heat and locked in a passionate tussle with their opponents. Despite these intense conditions, they were playing the best game of their lives. A well oiled machine, drenched in sweat and built up by weeks of practice.

   Now, finally, here it was: the semi-finals. Whoever triumphed over the other would be sent straight to the finals and from there? Victory was within their grasp. All they needed was to overcome the currently tied scoreboard. The referees whistled and pointed, the crowd roared as the junior athletes raced across the field.

   The formations were tight and well coordinated. Pressure was clearly mounting on both sides. It was all but a stalemate as the soccer ball went back and forth in triangular motions, pummeled by swift, strong kicks and in the instances of the goalie, amazing feats of throwing.

   Nozomi was dazzled and she was, by far and large, the number one fangirl on the sidelines. Why wouldn’t she be? Her girlfriend was the extraordinarily capable and fiery ace of the team.

   Rin was, without a shadow of a doubt on such a searing day, the MVP by a country mile. Even the opposing team and coach had a gleam of respect and admiration for her in their eyes. Her number coming up the most in shouted advice from the players in green. 

   Nozomi couldn’t be prouder. She knew Rin and the other girls on her team had worked really hard for this and here it came. The climax of the game. How exciting! Nozomi held her breath and bit her tongue, yet all that amazement had to go somewhere. She thrashed a silent cheer, her pigtails bouncing and her fists flailing, as she tried not to disrupt Rin’s concentration.

   Sweat beaded down the side of her face. Rin’s eyes narrowed as she glanced between options, possible ways forward. She ran. Hard. Hard enough to kick up dirt and grass in her wake. She kept consistent with her off-siders, their trusting glances in wait of what Rin was going to do, they would fall her lead off a cliff if they had to.

   Rin would never, of course, but it was do or die as time ticked by. 

   They couldn’t stall. It was now or never.

   So Rin took her shot. 

   It was risky but risk was all they had. She swiped her arms out, to give her as much room from the opposing players as possible. The formation made her feel like an eagle as she lined up the shot in instant speed. She was so far out. Stupidly far out for this kind of kick but Rin didn’t care. Her blood thrummed inside of her as instinct took over and she knew that this was not going to be luck. This was going to be culmination of all her hard work.

   Assuming the risk paid off as time all but slowed within Rin’s mind and her perception of the field. The sun must have fried her brain as its rays on her scalp was all she could feel. Everything else melted away in the boiling hot conditions. All that Rin was left was the slurry of what she had to do to get this soccer ball into the rival goal.

    The power, the timing, the strength she needed. Rin could feel it in her readied body, adrenaline pumping. All she could see were these calculations across the green grass and the white goal. The metal poles glinted, the net fluttered in the slight breeze and then.

   Rin kicked the ball.

   It went soaring high. Higher than the players, higher than the crowds. Birds - swallows, Nozomi would think - swooped low and into the blades of grass just to avoid the ball. It spun and it flipped, its shape obscured even that of the sun as everyone watched in awe of Rin’s shoot.

   Everyone except the rival goalie.

   Her heart must have dropped as she launched herself up, heavy gear and all. Only… to miss.

   The ball grazed the top of her armoured head and hit the ground behind her. 

   “Goal!” the Referee bellowed, a whistle punctuating the announcement - only to blend the sound of the timer being up.

   The siren rang through the skies. Birds scattered and people cheered. Rin’s jaw dropped. She did it. She had beaten the buzzer and put the final score on the board. It was changed manually by an opposing team’s manager.

   “Point to Cinq Lumières.” the Referee added.

   As though it needed to be said at all as celebration erupted on the field. Rin could hardly believe it as people yelled not just for her team but her alone. The other two girls jogged over and patted her on the back. They grinned and slapped hard. Their rivals slow clapped them out, shook hands with them and Rin managed to return such sentiments of true sportsmanship.

   All whilst in this stupor of hers. It wasn’t even the finals, yes, but they were within sight - and possibility. What would it be like to win real big and take home the trophy? Rin’s heart seized as she was too humble to explore such possibilities. Her ears rang with tinnitus as she stood, dumbfounded, with her disbelief as more formalities were wrung out over the loudspeaker and such.

   It only became real to her when Nozomi bounded over, clumsy and happy as a puppy dog.

   “Rin, Rin, Rin!” Nozomi squealed. “I’m so proud of you!”

   She flung herself in pride at Rin and Rin managed to catch her. Thankfully. She held her girlfriend around her waist whilst Nozomi continued to launch herself like a missile. Rin had to bend backwards just to make sure Rin didn’t sent them both flying - or worse, crashing.

   Nozomi nuzzled against Rin’s cheek. She didn’t mind one bit that Rin stank and was slick with sweat. It was all to the wayside as Nozomi cheered and celebrated.

   “Woohoo, you are the greatest, Rin!” Nozomi cheered as she peeled herself back off Rin.

   “Not yet I’m not.” Rin chuckled.

   “Yes, you are, gimmie a hip, gimmie a hooray, gimmie a… hip-hip hooray!” Nozomi shouted. 

   All but in Rin’s ears but Nozomi had gotten too carried away in her overbearing joy for Rin. She wobbled on her spot, bent down low and tried to do what she had seen in the movies. She tried to scoop Rin up from her midsection. Her arms slid underneath her, her legs bowed.

   She got, maybe, Rin’s right foot off the ground but that was about it. Rin laughed awkwardly whilst Nozomi stretched and strained. To inevitably buckle under her weight - and what she had taken on of Rin’s. Rin was pure muscle despite being such a small size and Nozomi couldn’t handle that at all.

   Nozomi went down like a sack of potatoes, head over bum and collapsed. She brought Rin down with her, too. It was ungraceful and klutsy and had them both seeing stars for a minute.

   Rin moaned slightly, “A-Are you okay, Nozomi?” She was probably fine. Nozomi had broken her fall and Nozomi had broken her own with her butt but still.

   Not a single good noise came out of Nozomi’s mouth.

   Rin was in her lap, their legs were entangled. They looked like they should have been in the middle of a gamer of twister, not after a futsal match/ It was so cliche but they had ended up in such a compromising position but not an impossible one. Rin would know, she had all kinds of bumps, bruises, scratches and scrapes thanks to sports injuries.

   Which… by the way… now was definitely not the time to get even the slightest graze!

   “I… I think I…” Nozomi’s voice was breathy and panicked. 

   Rin turned her head and saw how Nozomi’s chest went up and down. Her big inhales and even bigger exhales. All of it just to explode in tears.

   “I think I broke my ankle!” Nozomi screamed. “I-It really hurts, Rin!”

   Rin sighed. “Let me take a look…”

   She wriggled out of Nozomi’s lap and turned herself onto her knees. She smiled, sympathetic, at Nozomi as she had a poke and prod. She pushed down Nozomi’s socks, not even a lump or some redness.

   “Your all right, Nozomi, not even a fracture. Maybe you just sprained it?” Rin suggested through Nozomi’s hysterics.

   Nozomi’s chin turned a strawberry and she had a frantic look of worry in her eyes. She wasn’t sure if she believed Rin or not but surely some as big as her, Cure Dream, should be right as rain because of something as small as falling over on a football field. 

   Rin picked up Nozomi by the foot. She was all too easy to swing around, being light as a feather and breakable as a stick, apparently. She cupped it and leaned into Nozomi’s leg, felt the prickle of her haphazardly shaved calf and smiled. She pecked Nozomi’s ankle, right where she feared it hurt the most.

   Nozomi winced but her expression became a bashful appreciation.

   “See? I kissed your booboo all better, c’mon, let’s get up an’ at ‘em.” Rin said.

   “Okay.” Nozomi replied, her voice soft and quiet, a scant blush across her face.

   Nozomi moved her leg off Rin’s shoulder at her own volition and let Rin get up first. She sported a hefty - and exaggerated - grunt as she all but did a burpee, to express just how fine she felt despite the accidental tumble. Then, Rin offered her hand to Nozomi.

   Nozomi accepted it and Rin gave it her all to hold her. Nozomi’s heart fluttered as she felt the tight squeeze of Rin’s calloused hand against her soft palm. Rin grunted and Nozomi almost toppled frontwards this time but Rin eased her back onto the balls of her feet. Only for Nozomi to simper and seethe, ever so slightly under her breath to at least pretend to put on a brave face.

   Though just as both expected, Nozomi was ginger on both feet once Rin had her up on them. Rin sighed and shook her head. She let Nozomi use her as a crutch, bringing them both closer, cheek to cheek, as Nozomi hobbled off the field so Rin could go and join her teammates. They had caused quite a scene as it was.

Hiiiii 🫶 I am so intrigued by Mashal in the best way. If I may, can I ask for an info dump on his ~workings~? Like his systems, what they effect, what happens if something goes wrong? Does he require special upkeep?

You have the wildest, most creative OCs I cannot stress that enough.

Eeee, Sable you make my day <333

To preface, I don't know shit or fuck about mechanical stuff. Changing a car tire is about the upper limit of my expertise. So anything I say about Mashal's hardware came probably exclusively from a google search or some basic assumptions about how pressure works.

But let's start with the basics! Mashal's mind (maybe soul?) is contained within his heart rune. This is a piece of glass tubing arranged into a rough figure-eight shaped rune. An alchemical slurry of brain matter, sorcerous enzymes, and a certain species of magically mutated bacteria flow through this tubing in a constantly circulating closed circuit. All of this is contained in a little box in the center of his chest. Really, this heart rune is all that Mashal is. His metallic body can take all sort of damage, but the heart rune is self-contained, so as long as it remains undamaged, he'll live. Aside from actually breaking the rune, one of the few things Mashal is susceptible to is high temperatures, as the cells will start to denature. Cold, he tolerates a little easier, but excessive heat will kill him or at least fry his brain a bit. He tends to get kind of loopy once the outside temp hits around 110°F. Astra is working on a cooling system to solve this problem, however, it's pretty difficult to introduce new runes to the casing of his heart rune when she barely knows how the heart rune works.

His heart rune is connected to a central hydraulic pump by way of some linkage runes (these are more traditionally etched runes. Actually, his heart rune with its alchemical tubing is really weird so far as magic goes.) That central hydraulic pump powers the rest of his body by not only fluid mechanics, but also by using the presence of hydraulic fluid as an activation condition for even more runes, mainly sensory and gravitation. The gravitation specifically makes him a bit lighter, so his mechanical bits don't have to work as hard. Gravitation runes also keep his central hydraulic pump constantly moving without the need for an outside fuel source.

On to upkeep! Mashal has bigger fish to fry over the course of the couple of months the Mortal God series takes place in, so he's not the best about this, but he does need a good deal of upkeep to function. Fluid quality is a big one, since unwanted precipitates in the hydraulic fluid can scratch runes and make them unusable. This is one area Astra has to help him in, as for a full oil change, he'll essentially be disconnected from his body. Any other maintenance that has to be done on a hydraulic system, he probably has to do a few times a year. The only major difference is that he also has to re-etch all his runes once a year or so, just to make sure there are no cracks or rust that might interrupt the shape. Thankfully, his heart rune is designed to function indefinitely without interference, so he doesn't have to mess with that one too much.

As for if something goes wrong, that sort of depends on the something. I already mentioned the heat thing, but if he's low on hydraulic fluid, his movements will be sluggish and he'll have blackout moments where his vision and hearing cuts out. Actually, now that I mention senses, Mashal really only has hearing and sight. He's got a rudimentary pressure sensor so he doesn't crush everything he grabs, but that doesn't do anything for texture or tactile sensation. Astra built him a rudimentary temperature sensor, but that's more like a little HUD that tells him how hot an object he's touching is. He can't feel pain or exhaustion, though his mind remembers being human enough that he can feel phantom pain.

As for how Mashal feels about this... He honestly really hates doing upkeep on his body. It feels like admitting he'll be stuck in it forever, and he doesn't like to think about being a machine if he doesn't have to. He's perturbed also by the fact that, if he does proper upkeep, he's effectively immortal, at least in terms of aging. Thankfully, Astra's always there to talk him through things. She's incredibly adamant about keeping him in good working order and takes pride in teaching him how to do his own repairs. She also does frequently try to talk him into letting her do crazy mods on him, like a retractable sword arm or hidden recorder or built-in heelies. So far, only the sword arm has made it in, but she'll keep trying.

Ok I think this has gotten long enough, mayhaps, but please let me know if you have any questions! And thanks so much for the ask :)

A farmer in Edinburgh, Scotland is understandably rather angry after around 1,000 cars were parked on his field without permission. Around 200 vehicles were left in the field overnight, and Farmer Willie got little support from local Police.

Apparently, the same thing happened in 2019. Why the hell did the farmer not learn from this previous experience? As I see it, he had two possible options... Either make the field inaccessible by strengthening fences and gates, and/or digging a trench. Or, take the opportunity to make some extra money by advertising the field as "additional parking", and charging vehicles to use it.

Farmer Willie did not want risk confrontation by blocking the illegally parked vehicles, but, he could have punished the crop-destroying drivers by deploying a cow poo cannon... I mean, muck spraying the field that evening!

I had a small problem on my Dorset farm in 2019, when Bottom Pasture (the field furthest from any of the farm buildings) was advertised on social media as being the location of an illegal rave.

I was alerted to this by my cyber team in the City of London (who removed the ad from the internet). Dorset Police showed little (if any) interest... so I set up my own security arrangements. I replaced the wooden gate with a heavy metal one, set up temporary security cameras and, my secret weapon: The Cow Poo Cannon... an 18,000 litre tanker with a high-pressure pump and hose, filled with cow slurry, strategically positioned.

On the advertised date of the illegal rave it was very wet and windy. Nothing happened, except the security cameras being knocked out of position. We moved the Cow Poo Cannon back to a more secure area closer to farm buildings, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I think it was four days later, a neighbour alerted me that around 40 cars were blocking the narrow lane outside Bottom Pasture. (I think he exaggerated the number of cars.)

I phoned Dorset Police... Estimated response time: 2 hours... Advice: Do not intervene. Fools!

My two Czech farmhands took a tractor out to drag the Cow Poo Cannon back into position, Farmer Frank took a tractor out onto the road to block the narrow lane, and I drove the Land Rover over the fields.

I got there first. There were only six cars that I could see... but, as soon as they saw me approaching the revellers tried to get away. Two cars managed to escape before Frank blocked the road, one crashed into a wall and another tried to escape by driving across a field before being abandoned when it got stuck in the mud.

I had had a drink or two, so I didn't risk taking the Land Rover down the steep hill... instead, I ran towards the little gits shouting, aggressively!

Two Police cars turned up (much quicker than expected) before I got to confront any of the intruders face-to-face. I was restrained by two Police Officers, one of them a Sergeant. I was officially cautioned and bundled into the back of a Police car after I made remark questioning the Sergeant's intellect and parentage!

Only eight arrests were made that night (not including me), and only three were charged... 2 with drug related offences, and 1 for carrying a knife. (The two abandoned cars were both stolen vehicles.)

Unfortunately, my two devoted Czech farmhands had been on the Vodka that night... so it took them a little longer than it should have done to hook up the Cow Poo Cannon to the tractor... I would have loved to see them cover the Police cars with muck!

Choosing the Right Pump for Your Industry: Ace Lobe Pump vs. Rotary Lobe Pump

In industrial fluid handling, selecting the appropriate pump is crucial for maintaining efficiency and ensuring the longevity of the system. Pumps are designed to transport a variety of liquids, from viscous substances to those containing solids, and they must operate reliably under demanding conditions. The Ace Lobe Pump and the Rotary Lobe Pump are two popular options that stand out for their precision and versatility. This article will explore their unique features, helping industries determine which pump best meets their needs.

Understanding the Ace Lobe Pump

The Ace Lobe Pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses rotating lobes to transfer liquids efficiently. Its design makes it ideal for handling viscous or shear-sensitive fluids, such as those found in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. The Ace Lobe Pump offers a gentle pumping action that helps preserve the integrity of the liquid being transferred, making it perfect for delicate substances like creams, sauces, and pastes. Its ability to maintain consistent flow with minimal pulsation ensures smooth operations, which is crucial for industries that prioritize quality and consistency in their products.

Why Choose the Ace Lobe Pump?

One of the major advantages of theAce Lobe Pump is its versatility in handling various fluid types. From low-viscosity liquids to thick, viscous materials, this pump can handle them with ease. Its positive displacement technology ensures that a consistent volume of fluid is pumped at each cycle, preventing fluctuations in pressure and maintaining flow rates. This makes the Ace Lobe Pump a reliable option for industries that require precise fluid management. The ability to handle shear-sensitive liquids without causing damage further adds to its appeal, ensuring that sensitive products maintain their integrity throughout the pumping process.

The Rotary Lobe Pump: Robust and Reliable

On the other hand, the Rotary Lobe Pump is known for its robust construction and high-performance capabilities, especially when dealing with more challenging fluids. This pump uses two or more rotating lobes inside the pump chamber to move fluids. It is ideal for applications where the pumped liquid is abrasive, contains solids, or has high viscosity. The Rotary Lobe Pump excels in environments where other pumps might struggle, as it can handle thicker, more complex fluids with ease. Its ability to manage a wide range of substances, from slurries to chemicals, makes it a versatile and durable option for many industries.

Advantages of the Rotary Lobe Pump

The Rotary Lobe Pump stands out in situations where high suction capabilities and minimal pulsation are required. The design allows it to efficiently handle abrasive fluids and those containing high solids content, making it a go-to choice for industries like wastewater treatment, mining, and chemical processing. Its low-maintenance nature and ability to run at high pressures also contribute to its efficiency in harsh conditions. With its minimal pulsation and high suction capabilities, the Rotary Lobe Pump ensures a steady and consistent flow, even under difficult operational circumstances.

Choosing Between the Ace Lobe Pump and Rotary Lobe Pump

When selecting between the Ace Lobe Pump and the Rotary Lobe Pump, industries must consider the specific needs of their fluid systems. The Ace Lobe Pump is ideal for handling shear-sensitive, delicate fluids that require a gentle and consistent flow, making it perfect for food and pharmaceutical applications. Meanwhile, the Rotary Lobe Pump is better suited for industries that deal with more challenging materials, such as abrasive liquids, slurries, or those with solid particles. Both pumps offer significant advantages, but the key lies in understanding the nature of the fluid being pumped and the overall system requirements.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both the Ace Lobe Pump and the Rotary Lobe Pump offer exceptional performance, but their suitability depends on the specific fluid handling needs of a given industry. For gentle, precise pumping of delicate liquids, the Ace Lobe Pump is an excellent choice. On the other hand, for more demanding fluids, the Rotary Lobe Pump provides the necessary robustness and versatility.

What Is a Ball Valve? A Complete Guide to Its Function and Uses

Ball valves are one of the most commonly used types of valves in industries worldwide. Their design and versatility make them ideal for controlling the flow of various fluids and gases. This comprehensive guide will explore what a ball valve is, how it functions, and its various applications, along with insights into the ball valve manufacturing industry in India.

What is a Ball Valve?

A ball valve is a type of valve that uses a spherical ball to control the flow of media (liquids, gases, or slurries) through a pipe or system. The ball has a hole or port through the center, which aligns with the flow path when the valve is open. When the valve is closed, the ball rotates 90 degrees, blocking the flow path and preventing the passage of the media.

The simplicity of this design allows for quick and efficient operation. Ball valves are known for their durability, reliability, and ability to maintain a tight seal even after long periods of use.

How Does a Ball Valve Work?

A ball valve consists of several key components, including the body, the ball, the stem, and the handle or actuator. The ball is mounted inside the valve body, with the hole or port aligned with the flow path when the valve is open. When the valve handle is turned, the stem rotates the ball, either opening or closing the valve.

The flow direction and the valve's status (open or closed) are determined by the orientation of the ball. In the open position, the flow passes through the hole in the ball, allowing the fluid or gas to move through the valve. In the closed position, the ball rotates 90 degrees, blocking the flow entirely.

One of the key features of ball valves is their ability to create a tight seal. The design ensures minimal leakage, even in high-pressure applications, making them highly reliable in various industries.

Types of Ball Valves

There are different types of ball valves, each suited for specific applications. The most common types include:

Standard Ball Valve: This is the most basic type of ball valve, ideal for simple on/off applications.

V-Port Ball Valve: This valve has a V-shaped ball, which allows for precise flow control, making it suitable for throttling applications.

Multi-Port Ball Valve: These valves have multiple ports, allowing for directional flow control and bypassing multiple channels. They are used when more complex flow control is needed.

Trunnion Ball Valve: A trunnion ball valve has a ball that is supported by bearings, allowing for larger sizes and higher-pressure applications.

Uses of Ball Valves

Ball valves are widely used across different industries due to their efficiency and reliability. Some of the key applications include:

Oil and Gas: Ball valves are essential in oil and gas systems for controlling the flow of crude oil, natural gas, and other fluids. Their ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures makes them ideal for this industry.
