Sulzer Pumps to Supply 40 Pumps for PetroChina Guangxi Refinery Project

The city of Richmond, Virginia needed a plan to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) into the James River, but how could its utility operators know which new infrastructure projects would have the biggest impact? The solution was a real-time visualization and decision support system from Xylem that identified critical infrastructure projects, helping the city develop a plan that could reduce CS0s by 180 million gallons and save costs.

EBARA CORPORATION (EBARA) has installed an additional large pump to drain rainwater flowing into the Sasayama Pumping Station (hereinafter referred to as “the facility”)

A major southern grow operation needed a valve to open and close automatically on a series of remote fertigation pipelines. The lines were in a location where compressed air and electricity were both unavailable and impractical. It was essential to have the valve close whenever the water supply dropped below operational pressure, to prevent the percentage of nutrients from exceeding safe levels and harming the crop.

Ammonia is currently at focus as clean alternative to heavy fuel oil that has predominantly been used. The technology employed in order to use liquid ammonia as a fuel must be hermetically tight and guarantee maximum operational safety as the gas is toxic and harmful to the environment. LEWA’s high-pressure diaphragm pumps meet these requirements. Their standard safety mechanisms make them suitable for hazardous, toxic and environmentally harmful fluids such as NH3, even under extreme operating conditions.

Sulzer will supply two customized hydraulic power recovery turbines (HPRTs) to a leading global engineering company specializing in industrial gases for a new purpose-built blue hydrogen plant in Texas. The Sulzer HPRTs will significantly improve the plant’s operational efficiency and reduce the energy consumption of its carbon capture system.

Holiday parks with leisure facilities depend on the efficient flow of water for pools, water rides, wastewater and other applications. For 30 years, Xylem has partnered with Center Parcs De Eemhof, a leading holiday park in the Netherlands, to solve some of the park’s toughest water challenges – and keep the water flowing for the many holiday goers who visit each year.
