Diaphragm pumps are categorized as positive displacement pumps that are used mainly in industrial applications, which involve pumping and lifting of heavy fluids, such as sludge, slurry, or mud. Sludge is a semi-solid slurry that is produced following the treatment of wastewater treatment or as a settled suspension from numerous industrial process. Industrial wastewater, also termed as sludge, is generated from biological or physical processes. Sludge and slurry cause a lot of problems for any industry, especially when the process needs to be continuous and any downtime will interrupt the entire process.

Efficiency and power of an engine or motor dictate the overall functioning of the machine. The engine output is determined by the amount of air and fuel entering the internal combustion engine under high pressure. A turbocharger is an example of a forced induction system as it supplies high pressurized exhaust gas to the engine, making more air available for combustion. This augments the functioning capacity of the engine up to four times and turbochargers usually contribute to nearly 75% of the engine’s power.

Drying is a unit operation wherein a liquid is removed from a solid by other than mechanical means. Drying uses heat to evaporate the water content from various materials with the help of dryers. Industrial dryers are used to reduce moisture efficiently from large quantities of bulk materials. The principle involved in drying is the drawing of moisture from the interior of individual particles to the surface. This moisture on the surface is then evaporated. Industrial dryers are constructed depending on the type and quantity of material to be processed.
