Some of the most spectacular discoveries of what the universe is composed of – including antimatter and the Higgs boson – have been made by particle accelerators at CERN. The pumps that circulate gas mixtures through these particle detectors must be extremely reliable and keep the gases contamination-free.What is the universe made of?The renowned research […]
A zoo specialising in crocodile conservation has selected an enhanced effluent treatment solution from wastewater technology specialist WCS Environmental Engineering (WCSEE). A planned site expansion, along with drainage challenges, prompted the zoo to install a bespoke, off-mains wastewater treatment plant at its site in Oxfordshire. The zoo is home to over 100 reptiles, representing 18 […]
Twenty years ago, BBA Pumps built the first pumps that would later form the BA series. What began as a promising innovation turned out to be the start of a new era for BBA Pumps. Since then the BA series has evolved into the industry standard for vacuum-assisted centrifugal pumps.Today, the BA series is praised […]
Pilot trials of an adaptable pressure monitoring device that can tap directly into a utilities water network is protecting a utility in Atlanta, Georgia from avoidable cut-offs, leading to proactive water distribution management, says Lou Rossetti senior vice president of sales North America at Orbis Intelligent Systems.Extreme pressure events in the water network are being […]
Southern Water has partnered with specialist technology company Samotics to deploy its SAM4 smart condition monitoring system at sites across southern England. The artificial intelligence (AI) powered technology uses electrical signature analysis (ESA) to help predict when equipment in both wastewater and clean water networks is likely to fail, reducing the risk of service interruptions […]
With its new fourth treatment stage, the Bickenbach sewage plant is taking a decisive step towards sustainable water and drinking water protection. The modular DULCOZON OZLa ozone system from ProMinent removes micropollutants such as drug residues, pesticides and hormones almost completely and sustainably improves water quality in the Rhine-Main region.Challenge: New EU directive, new requirementsIn […]
