WHEN FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION FINISH THOMPSON’S AODD PUMPS Whether you need to move petrochemicals or barbecue sauce, chances are you’re going to rely on an air-operated double diaphragm pump (AODD). Using mechanized membranes for positive displacement, this design offers good suction lift without sacrificing working diameter, making it an ideal choice for pumping viscous, corrosive, and even volatile liquids. Everything from artificial hearts to refinery pumps make use of AODD design. With such critical fluids being transferred in such severe environments, dependability is a must in the world of diaphragm pumps. In these and many other applications, a leak or mechanical failure can have dire consequences. That’s why the good folks at Finish Thompson have built their reputation on designing world-class AODD pumps. The manufacturer’s history speaks for itself. As far back as 1951, Finish Thomson had distinguished themselves as industry leaders in designing chemical transfer pumps. Put simply, they are the experts when it comes to creating dependable flows in demanding environments. Whether you need a rugged pump for a corrosive liquid or a highly reliable filter for your prized fish tank, Finish Thompson’s AODD pumps are the top of the line. Recently the manufacturer has expanded their line of stainless steel and polypropylene diaphragm pumps, creating more options for applications where FDA compliance is must. This new line is ideal for food and beverage applications, as well as the handling of pharmaceutical and cosmetic fluids. Complete with low-friction slide valves and moulded Buna gaskets, these new additions to the Finish Thomson family eliminate the risk of flat gasket tearing. Now, not every fluid application is going to require a top-of-the-line AODD pump. There are many great, affordable options out there for those looking to move large volumes of liquid efficiently. But when failure, leakage, or contamination are simply not options, Finish Thompson should be top of mind.

If you struggle to ask others for help when you need it, start by changing your mindset. You don’t have to do it all; you’re just one person, and sometimes one person needs to delegate tasks to others to get more done. Asking for help is also easier when you know what you want to ask for. If you are overwhelmed by a big project, take a moment to write down your goals for that project, along with a list of action steps and resources needed to get there. Then think about who you can reach out to in order to tackle these steps. If you’re still uncomfortable with asking for help, make a point of helping others when you can. Being helpful changes the way you perceive receiving help and builds a positive reputation with others. When you are viewed as being helpful, other people want to help you in return. Asking for help means admitting you can’t do it all alone. But why should you have to? Doing it all alone can be pretty lonely, and asking for help means you have a team to support you wherever you go.
