By combining optimal hydraulics and wear-resistant materials of construction in a pump replacement, Sulzer helped a leading phosphate fertilizer producer to increase productivity. Sulzer’s AHLSTAR WPP endsuction single-stage pump has proven to be the right choice. It meets the performance requirements while using less energy and drastically cutting maintenance frequency. “By selecting wear-resistant hydraulics, low […]
EDF has appointed Celeros Flow Technology (Celeros FT) as its preferred supplier of RPE pumps for the upgrade of its existing PWR fleet of nuclear reactors in France. The contract was formally signed by Jose Larios, CEO of Celeros FT, and Mr. Christophe Chanut, Deputy Director of EDF DIPDE (Division Ingénierie du Parc et De […]
Technology from wastewater treatment specialist WCS Environmental Engineering (WCSEE) has been selected by Scottish Water to deliver a tightened ammonia removal consent at a village treatment works. The updated consent has led the public utility to upgrade Edgehead wastewater treatment works (WwTW) in Midlothian, east of Edinburgh. The upgrade will involve the delivery and installation […]
China is leading the world in the construction of solar, wind and thermal power plants to support its increasing demand for electrical energy. For those that use steam turbines, boiler feed pumps (BFPs) are a crucial asset and selecting the best design to suit the needs of an individual station can have many benefits. When […]
In March of 2023, CO₂ has been stored underground for the first time worldwide, and on a transnational basis, within the scope of project “Greensand” to counteract the effects of climate change. This project demonstrates how CO₂ emission sources can be combined with suitable CO₂ storage areas. Canned motor pumps from HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH are used […]
International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from the Upper Austrian utility Energie AG to supply the electromechanical equipment for the new Ebensee pumped storage power plant. This groundbreaking project not only marks the largest single investment by the energy utility, but also represents a significant step towards climate neutrality. The advanced pumped storage […]
Czech brewery Velké Popovice relies on technology from KHS: at the heart of a new glass line is the Innofill Glass DRS ECO filler. Velké Popovice uses the unfilled beer to cool the vacuum pump and thus save energy. With the installation of the rest of the line’s dry section planned for the start of […]
Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels are used for processing oil and transferring it to tankers or pipelines. Positioned close to an oilfield, they remain there until the field is exhausted. Originally designed with a service life of over 20 years, FPSOs represent a huge investment for international oil companies (IOCs) and to maximize […]
Global climate changes are affecting agriculture around the world, with some areas receiving increased rainfall, while others are experiencing a marked drop. Farmers in those drier regions are compensating for the change by installing irrigation systems, often on an extensive scale. However, large irrigation schemes often require big pumps, driving up energy costs and increasing […]
Two European hydropower plant operators have replaced the bearings on their Francis-type turbines with water-lubricated bearings from Canada’s Thordon Bearings after oil was leaking from their original metal bearings. In two separate contracts, Croatia-based Skoring d.o.o., Thordon’s authorized distributor for the region, supplied wicket gate bearings to the 36.8MW Hrvatska Elektroprivreda-operated plant in Rijeka, Croatia, […]
The pump industry is an enormous industry and plays a critical role in almost every facet of our lives. Water supply, fire protection, oil & gas, power plants, waste water treatment, sump pumps at homes, processing chemicals, foods & pharmaceuticals, and many more.
