Dr. Pump,
I have been posed with a question. One of our paper coating progressing cavity pumps causes pipe vibration. I have been told that running two pumps in parallel at slightly different speeds could reduce or eliminate this vibration. Is that possible? How is that done?
Your help is very much needed.

The first thing you need to do is understand the cause of the problem. Pipe vibrations can happen for many reasons. A few examples are:- acoustic resonance
- structural resonance
- poor support
- poor foundation
