06/09/10 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – What do gold mines in South Africa and Alaska have in common with tar sand operations in Canada? And what do these kinds of operations have in common with a gigantic deep-water drilling vessel in the Gulf of Mexico? What major systems do they have in common?
The fancy name is ‘fluid control.’ The more common name is ‘pumps.’
Every mine needs to pump out the water. Every heap leach needs to pump the leaching material and recover it. Every oil sand operation needs to move water and oil, in one form or another – hot, warm or cold. Every oil-drilling operation needs to move mud or cement, or maybe even oil and natural gas. Plus, every pipeline for every fluid needs a unique form of pump to move product down the line.
And at the end of the day, you need pumps to move water. Move the river water into industrial applications, or agriculture, or over to the treatment plant. Move the treated water to your home. Move the used water down the sewer lines for further treatment. Move that treated water back into the water flow cycle. We live in a world of pumps.
In fact, the market for these goods is so vast – so “obvious” – that I have a hard time figuring out who does NOT need the items. There’s an utterly world-spanning market out there for these kinds of products. It’s a market that extends so far to the horizon, and beyond, that I don’t even know where it ends.

Then, you are advised to set up a production line specialised in pump manufacturing. Big money awaits you. Hahaha
I found an interesting company in Florida that has patented equipment called the voraxial seperator. One unit can filter something like 10 million gallons of fluids per day and seperate the oil. The company ticker is EVTN. They announced today that their system is under review by BP.. Their trading volume has been increasing steadily and the other day spiked from the avg of 30K shares, to 1.6m shares in one day. Enyone who held that stock the day before got a 65% increase in their money. Somebody knows something good about EVTN apparently. Check it out
Well, your Apple doesn’t need a pump, and looks like you’re doing your job very well using it…And in the same time Congres and White House need only “money pumps” and they do very poor indeed…
