FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Flow Optimizers Launches New Pump Suction Extension Tube to Reduce Cavitation, Improve Pump Efficiency, and Extend Equipment Life

[Lizella, GA] – [April 10, 2025] – Flow Optimizers, a leading innovator in flow conditioning solutions, is proud to announce the release of its latest product: the Pump Suction Extension Tube. This powerful new tool is engineered to combat cavitation, improve flow uniformity, and enhance suction-side pump performance in municipal, industrial, and commercial applications.

Designed with plant managers and maintenance professionals in mind, the Pump Suction Extension Tube is easy to install and integrates seamlessly into existing pump systems—making it a go-to solution for operations seeking immediate performance gains without costly system overhauls.

“This product fills a long-standing gap in pump system design,” said Paul Nelsen, Product Specialist at Flow Optimizers. “We’re helping our customers achieve smoother flow into their pumps, which means better reliability, fewer maintenance issues, and lower costs over time.”

Solving Cavitation and Flow Distortion Where It Matters Most

Cavitation is one of the most damaging problems in pump systems, often resulting in reduced performance, excessive noise, and shortened equipment life. The Pump Suction Extension Tube addresses this by reducing turbulence and evening out velocity profiles at the pump inlet—helping eliminate the pressure fluctuations that cause cavitation.

Its streamlined geometry promotes consistent, uniform flow, helping pumps operate under optimal hydraulic conditions while lowering the risk of damage or downtime.

Real-World Results: Field-Proven Performance

The Pump Suction Extension Tube has already demonstrated measurable success in multiple industries:

• Case Study 1 – Parkwood Area Lift Station Consolidation (North Carolina): After installing flow conditioning products at the Parkwood Area Lift Station, the system showed smoother operation and no signs of cavitation damage within 60 days.

• Case Study 2 – South Mesquite Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (Texas): After installation, the plant saw improved flow stability, fewer pump issues, and is on track to meet future capacity goals by 2026.ficiency.

• Case Study 3 – Chevron Pascagoula Refinery (Mississippi): After installation, the refinery reduced turbulence and air entrainment, restoring optimal flow and boosting efficiency within 60 days.

Each of these installations underscores the versatility and impact of this product across a range of challenging operating conditions.

Fast, Hassle-Free Installation

Unlike more invasive flow conditioning solutions, the Pump Suction Extension Tube is designed for quick installation with minimal disruption. Whether retrofitting an older system or optimizing a new installation, users benefit from a plug-and-play solution that starts delivering results immediately.
