In today’s modern era of computer-based commerce processing, many large companies feature large computer datacenters, which process large volumes of worldwide transactions, as a standard business. Their computer systems are the main hub of their strength, and are responsible for millions (and sometimes billions) of dollars of daily transactions. Suffice it to say these datacenters must be on line and highly reliable, 365 days per year.
These high tech installations usually include a complete backup power generation system, which provide all power needs, should the local power supplies from local utilities fail. Datacenters like these include large banks of diesel engine-powered generators, designed to give backup power to the entire operation.
One of the key components of a large power generation system is the Select Catalytic Reduction (SCR) De-Nox Scrubber. This system is designed to effectively reduce NOx content in diesel engine exhaust gases. The reducing agent in this type of scrubber is an ammonia source, frequently urea, and is injected into the exhaust stream just prior to a catalytic media. The result is a conversion of the NOx into nitrogen and water vapor, which can be vented to atmosphere.
This urea pumping system is an integrated system, and includes many elements – urea storage tanks, urea truck delivery stations, the urea pumping system, including a master control system, tank monitoring system, primary delivery header system, and individual SCR system for each generator.
The urea pumping system with controls is a product that crosses many disciplines, and requires an a supplier with an in-depth knowledge of all elements – using air or electric service to drive and control the fluid pumping equipment, tank monitoring systems, the distribution of fluid in a header system, electronics and communications in control panels, the use of flow meters to control chemical metering pumps to inject urea into an injection nozzle based on engine load output.
Together, these elements work as a finely tuned machine in scrubbing NOx from the engine exhaust, thereby making it safe for the environment.

The New Aurora 3550 ANSI Pump -
Versatility to Support Both Existing and New Tough Pumping Applications
The Aurora Model 3550 Series ANSI pump is the latest addition to the Pentair Industrial Pump line of pumping equipment. This latest product is built to ASME/ANSI B73.1M industry standards in a variety of metallurgies, including All Steel, 316 Stainless Steel, Alloy 20, Hastelloy B and C, CD4MCu, and Titanium.
The 3550 was designed to perform in the toughest industrial applications, whether in the chemical, petro-chemical, mining, pulp and paper, consumer products or general industry. This makes the 3550 a natural in the industries where an ANSI dimensional product is preferred.
In addition, the Aurora 3550 pump is specifically designed such that all parts are completely interchangeable with the GOULDS 3196 STXTM, GOULDS 3196MTXTM and GOULDS 3196 XLTXTM pump models.
This gives the Aurora the advantage of being a pump supplier that can apply new pumping equipment to projects and also have parts that are 100% interchangeable with existing GOULDS® 3196 product.
The Aurora 3500 Series parts are designed to the highest quality standards in the industry. Developed to be interchangeable means the composite and individual parts product meets or exceed the specifications for performance and mechanical integrity of those manufacturers.
Material certifications are available on all product purchases.
The added versatility of this new Aurora ANSI product and the local stock provides a full service of product for the ANSI pump user.
Robert Brown Associates stocks a large inventory of Aurora 3550 product, including complete pumps, and most parts. Parts stock includes shafts, bearing frames, impellers, cartridge seals, casings, sleeves, seal chambers, gaskets, O-rings and bearings.
The company has over 25 years of field engineering, and supply experience in centrifugal pumps. Service capabilities include 24/7 fields service for repairs including a mobile repair vehicle for field repairs.

*Goulds®, 3196STX, 3196MTX and 3196XLTX are registered and trademarked products
Pump service is a critical aspect in overall maintenance. Typically, fluid pumps that fall into the normal range of service would be utility style pumps for sewage, boilers, HVAC and more. Through a new affiliation with Fairbanks Morse, Robert Brown Associates is able to tap into the repair services in Kansas City. Now the company has the capabilities to maintain and repair large pumps for a variety of applications. Furthermore, this makes Robert Brown an official distributor in the region.
The new service capabilities would include service and repair for large pumps such as river – low lift pumps, power plant applications like large vertical turbine, split case and flood control pumps.
Typical turnaround time for smaller pumps would be over a couple of days-time. Here a mobile pump service truck would travel to the site and pull the pump for repair and then return to reinstall the pump. Or, the customer will bring pump to the Robert Brown repair facility.
For large pump repairs a coordinated effort is required. These types of pumps may take as long as sixteen to twenty-four weeks to go through the repair process. Typically this requires engineering, balancing, tolerances, and many more service aspects to bring the equipment to operating condition.
Robert Brown Associates handles the logistics and coordination of all the services and repairs to ensure the successful operation of the reinstalled equipment.
New ASME/ANSI Industrial Pump Breaks Into Local Market
King of Prussia, PA – October, 2010 – Fresh from extensive training in Aurora, Illinois, members of Robert Brown Associates are conducting a full-scale product introduction of the new 3500 Series ASME/ANSI pump from Aurora Pumps. “The Aurora 3550 product line is a unique product, in that is covers the majority of the ANSI size range and it has an interchangeable design with several industrial pump manufacturers.” states Robert Brown company president Tom Halley. “For the first time, we are able to use one line of equipment to address the replacement and repair needs of customers who have various pump applications.”
The new line has a broad range of engineered options and upgrades that will support a variety of process requirements and meet most any fluid processing application. The equipment is specifically designed for the tough applications, including abrasives and corrosives. Halley states, “We serve numerous industries and see many harsh environments. The new line will give our customers a more robust solution to handle their needs.”
The ASME/ANSI B73.1M Model 3550 boasts capacities up to 4,200 G.P.M. and heads to 725 feet while performing in temperatures up to 343° C and pressures to 375 PSIG. The 3550 comes in 24 sizes, classified by groupings, namely the 3550-S, 3550-M/L and 3550-XL.
These models were developed with standard features that withstand the most difficult applications and maximize the mean-time-between-failures (MTBF).
The heavy duty casing increases reliability, reduces maintenance effort and allows for maximum life from the ANSI pump. Heavy duty bearings on the 3550 were designed for maximum hydraulic loads with optional duplex (40°/40° angular contact) thrust bearings. Features that help prolong bearing life include an oversized shaft to reduce vibrations, labyrinth oil seals to prevent external contaminants, large capacity oil sump for cooler oil temperatures and better heat transfer and a magnetic drain plug to remove particles.
Robert Brown Associates now has the complete line of pumps in stock and ready for installation. The technicians and staff are fully trained and have the proper equipment, tools and technology for installations in the region.

Part of devastating damage to the city of New Orleans after Hurrican Katrina was caused by the failure of water infrastructure systems throughout the city. To protect the city during future hurricane seasons, the Army Corps of Engineers worked to reconstruct levees and install new pumps; however, things didn’t go as planned in 2006. That’s when the Army Corps of Engineers turned to Pentair’s Fairbanks Morse to provide eleven new pumps for the city’s 17th Street canal. Despite an extraordinarily compressed schedule, Fairbanks Morse delivered the new pumps in time for the start of hurricane season 2007.
Designed, Built and Delivered in Record Time
Fairbanks Morse was awarded a contract for 11 massive pumps to be installed in New Orlean’s 17th Street canal. Fairbanks’ ability to deliver on the contract in just six months, approximately one third of the time it would normally take under the best of conditions, was key. “Usually a project like this will take from 15 to 24 months from design to completion,” said Sam Wood, Director of Sales, Fairbanks Morse.
This timing is especially remarkable given the sheer size of the pumps, which required a high level of customization by Fairbanks Morse. “These pumps are extremely large and they are all custom-built,” said Wood. “We started with nothing. There were no parts available. All the castings had to be made and all the fabrication work had to be done. With eleven pumps, it was quite an effort.”
By July 1, 2007, Fairbanks Morse designed, built, and delivered eleven propeller pumps: each weighed 85,000 pounds and required its own semi-trailer truck for delivery, and each pump featured a 72’ discharge and is capable of pumping 156,800 gallons of water per minute. “It was a seven-day-a-week project for us but we delivered,” said Wood.
The new propeller pumps added needed capacity to the city’s existing water infrastructure, which drains storm run-off from the city. Previously, the 17th Street Canal had eighteen installed pumps which moved approximately 3,600 cubic feet per second (CFS) of water. The new Fairbanks pumps added an additional 3,850 CFS (or 1,724,800 gallons per minute) capacity. This added capacity will support the safety of New Orleans during future hurricane seasons.
