In Uzbekistan, as well as in many other countries of the world, pumping units operate in parallel into a common pressure pipeline at some pumping stations of the irrigation system. This was done mainly to save on the capital costs of the pipeline. Analysis and hydraulic calculation of the existing large irrigation pumping stations with pumping units operating in parallel showed that at some of them the conditions of parallel operation of pumping units were impaired. As a result, a negative hydraulic process arises, in the form of self-induced vibrations of the water flow in the pipeline, which leads to various damage and deformation of the pressure pipeline and pipeline supports. The calculations showed that with different modes of pumping units operating together, the power consumption at the Amu-Bukhara-1 and Namangan pumping stations, accounting for one unit increases by 0.72 ... 6.53%, and at the Amu-Bukhara-2 and Amu-Zang-2 pumping stations, this index, on the contrary, decreases by 0.32 ... 1.67%. Therefore, a properly selected operating mode of parallel-connected pumping units will lead to a decrease in operating costs, i.e. decrease in the prime cost of raised water.

Hydromechanical equipment of pumping stations of irrigation systems, including the main equipment of pumping stations of the Amu-Bukhara machine channel, was taken as the object of research. The study aims to assess the operating conditions of pumping stations and improve the main units' reliability by developing new units that ensure reliable and resource-saving operations. An important consequence of using new elements of irrigation systems during reconstruction is an increase in the unit capacity of regulated pumping units, which gives additional energy savings and reduces technological costs by 15-20%. The practical significance of the research results is based on the developed methods of hydraulic calculation of the flow in the flow section of the pumps, the assessment of reliability during operation under various conditions of the quality of the pumped water, and the criteria of its state.

This article is devoted to methods analysis and systems for maintaining the forebay operating modes of pumping stations, which the minimum cost of resources is provided. In modern conditions there is a need to implement measures and solutions to improve the operational performance of pumping stations, which would lead to a decrease in the cost of water supplied. Such activities include the development of methods and systems for the management and maintenance of stations operating modes, which provide the minimum cost of resources. Based on observations, the uneven operation of pumping units over time and as a result of imperfect design of advance cells, the design hydraulic indicators of flow and operational parameters of pumping stations deteriorate. The relevance hydraulic research of forebay regimes and water intakes indicated at a number of meetings on pumps quality. With the development of the recommended set of measures, it is possible to save water and energy resources. The purpose of the work was to conduct full-scale testing of forebay on a large pumping stations in operation, to develop a new design of forebay and its hydraulic calculation. During work performing, energy-hydraulic methods for determining the parameters of pumping units were used.

The paper is devoted to the simulating of non-stationary processes of shutdown and restart on the example of a section of the Zhetybai-Uzen “hot” oil pipeline. A mathematical model of thermal-hydraulic calculation is given taking into account the rheological properties of the pumping oil. The special module of the SmartTran software developed by the work’s authors carried out the calculations. In the calculations, the decrease in time of oil temperature in the pipeline during cooling and the increase in oil pressure, temperature, velocity after the restart are determined. In addition, the calculations determine the power of pumping units, heating furnaces and the power consumption, which are necessary for restart of the pipeline after the shutdown. Simulation the processes of the pipeline cooling and restart after a shutdown makes it possible choosing the optimum parameters of pumping units at pumping stations and the time of safe shutdown of the oil pipeline.

Abstract This paper presents the results of field studies carried out on existing pressure systems with pumping stations. The considered field experiments were carried out on a closed irrigation system, which includes a pumping station with a water intake, a closed irrigation pipeline network and sprinklers. On this system, field studies of transient processes were carried out with the simultaneous shutdown of all pumping units simulating emergency power outages of the motors, and with shutdown of one of the units simulating the automatic operation of the station. The presented results make it possible to carry out practical calculations of transient processes for pumping stations with different water supplies, heads, capacities, diameters and lengths of pressure pipelines and shockproof devices.

The paper presents the conditions and the degree of reduction of water supply and pressure of pumping stations (PS) depending on the hydraulic resistance of the water-supply channels and structures of the PS and other various factors. And also, the results of studies of the hydraulic and operational modes of water-supplying machine channels and structures of irrigation pumping stations are presented. Analyzing the operating conditions of the pumping units, it was found that the reasons for the decrease in their operating parameters are the following: a) an increase in the hydraulic resistance of the suction line due to sediment deposition in the intake chamber, as well as due to siltation and clogging of the PS suction pipeline; b) an increase in hydraulic resistance due to the accumulation of air at elevated points of the pressure pipeline, in particular, on the crest of the siphon outlet of the PS; c) a decrease in the hydraulic efficiency of pumping units due to an increase in the surface roughness of the parts of the flow path, it due to the effect of solid abrasive particles entering through the suction line of the PS. Also, the work presents the results of complex laboratory and field studies to study the intensity of wear of the elements of the flow path of centrifugal and axial pumps. The alternating pulsating load leads to an increase in the force of interaction of the hydroabrasive flow with the surface of the chamber and increases its wear by 10%, and also reduces the productivity of the pumping unit to 9%.

A new design for syrup and juice clarifiers is presented. The design takes advantage of the considerably improved performance of clarifiers incorporating lamella plates, and the reasons for the improvement are outlined. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) work done to simulate the performance is summarised. This design enables the residence time to be dramatically reduced and the simplified design leads to cheaper and better clarifiers. Practical experience with factory scale units is described, confirming the good flow characteristics. The results of preliminary test work on a factory syrup clarifier are presented, which is also shown to operate efficiently as a phosphatation clarifier. In addition the performance of a full-scale juice clarifier has been evaluated and compared with the performance of a Rapidorr clarifier. This work confirms the considerable advantages which this type of design provides, in realising substantial reductions in residence time, capital costs and operating costs.

Of many techniques that are used to optimize production and costs, the studies conducted within a profile company lead to our choice for testing the 6Sigma method (the most used method in the automotive industry) in view of the economic efficiency applied in the wood Industry company. This method measures how many flaws exist in a process and determines in a systematic way how to improve it by technical overhauling and eliminating or minimizing the process for efficiency. This research article aims to study the state of research on the optimization of the production process through technical overhauling for panels reconstituted from solid wood and ways to make production more efficient by cutting costs through technical overhauling. From preliminary research, we estimate that all the items founded and others that will result from further research will result in a significant decrease in production costs that are reflected in the cost of the finished product and consequently in increasing the yield of the company by maximizing its profit. At the same time it may be the basis of future research studies in the field. The easier it is to maximize profits, the lower the operating costs are and the higher recovery rate of investments are, that will result a change in the operating mode: “working smarter not harder”.

Mine drainage systems, which are used at the main drainage of mining enterprises, have a drive capacity of up to 1600kW. To reduce non-productive energy losses, as well as for the continuous operation of the mining company, mine pumps must be energy efficient and reliable. Analysis of downtime of drainage systems shows that the weak point is the unloading device. This fact can lead not only to the failure of the pumping unit, but also to possible prolonged downtime of the mine. The main disadvantage of the existing disk unloading devices of mine pumps is their low reliability and low service life, due to the rapid wear of the components of the unloading unit. The most vulnerable elements of the unloading device are the unloading rings. The need for frequent replacement and adjustment of the elements of the discharge unit is associated with disassembly and assembly of the pump directly in the pump chamber. Such actions require significant costs of unproductive manual labor of service personnel, and rapid wear of parts of the unloading device necessitates their constant replenishment. Malfunctions in the unloading device can cause significant pump failures. To increase the reliability and energy efficiency of mine drainage systems, the method of control of the unloading device was used. During the experimental studies it was found that cavitation phenomena during the operation of pumping units are absent and, accordingly, can not be the cause of wear of the elements of the unloading unit. When the pumps are operating in steady state, the displacement of the rotors was monitored for 3-4 hours on each pump unit. After data processing, it was obtained that the wear of the surface of the unloading rings occurs at a rate of 0.05-0.15mm in one hour. To determine the wear of the rings of unloading during start-up - stop of the pump, at first the indicators of measuring devices at the established mode of operation of the pump unit were fixed. Then the pump was turned off and on again. After starting the pump unit, we made sure that the operating mode of the unloading device did not change and compared the readings of the shaft position indicator before stopping and after starting the pump. From the measurements made it followed that stopping and starting the pump does not lead to noticeable wear of the unloading device. Therefore, it can be assumed that mainly the wear of the discharge rings occurs during the steady operation of the pump unit.
