Boiler feed pumps are designed to feed steam generators, such as a boiler or reactor with a precise amount of feed water, to deliver a specified amount of steam which is often measured in tonnes per hour.

Wheel wash systems are necessary at locations such as quarries, construction sites, landfills, and mines, they ensure public roads are kept safe and clean. HGV vehicles attract large amounts of mud, clay, gravel, dust, and contaminants as they move around site, this needs to be removed before they enter public highways to avoid causing slippery roads and mud/stones spraying onto other vehicles.

With fluid mechanics being so relevant in engineering and pumps being used across so many different industries, most universities and colleges have live pumping stations in their engineering labs, thus it is quite common for apprentice engineers to have at least basic pump training.

Having a well or borehole on your property can be very convenient for agricultural use or general household water supply, however often finding a simple and cost-effective method of extracting the water can be difficult and frustrating for homeowners. One of the main issues facing them is obtaining access to a power supply close to the well, many get around this by purchasing a diesel generator, although some people want to avoid this if possible.
