Advanced Design Technology (ADT) announces a global initiative to revolutionise pump design and radically improve operational efficiencies. The latest release of ADT’s Turbo Design Suite software platform combines a novel 3D inverse design methodology with machine learning capabilities to enable the design of highly efficient pumps — a critical environmental and economic imperative.

Henrik Elmin, Senior Executive Vice President and Business Area President for Industrial Technique, has decided to leave the Group. He will remain in his position until September 2.

The Wilo Group is expanding in Asia. With its entry into the Japanese market, the multinational water technology group is tapping into a highly relevant region in strategic terms: the East Asian country plays a leading role in both the semiconductor industry and in the construction of data centres, making it a key market for the AI era. Entry into this market therefore constitutes an important step forward along the Wilo Group’s ambitious growth path.

Improving the efficiency of a vacuum system does not just rely on choosing the right vacuum pump. Much of the long-term performance is influenced by how the vacuum process is designed. This includes factors such as energy consumption, productivity, and operating costs.

DAB Pumps has received WRAS approval for its EsyBox Pop, giving installers a compact pressure boosting solution that combines regulatory compliance with high performance and easy installation.

In modern racing, weight, aerodynamics, and the materials used in vehicles determine victory or defeat. For the Formula Student racing team Mainfranken Racing e.V. at the Technical University of Würzburg-Schweinfurt, the production of carbon parts is also a central component of vehicle optimization.

Industrial water treatment is technically challenging, especially for pumps that convey aggressive chemicals. To address this issue, Lutz-Jesco is presenting the PERIDOS FXM peristaltic pump.

Continued growth is anticipated in the high-efficiency motor market between 2026 and 2030, according to the latest research report from Interact Analysis. The market intelligence specialist is cautiously optimistic about the outlook for the sector and forecasts a strong year in 2026, with revenues expected to climb by 15%.

In 2022, more than 30,000 people in the UK were undergoing kidney dialysis. For every one of those patients, water quality is not a background consideration but a frontline safety issue. Dialysis machines rely on large volumes of treated water, and any trace contaminants that remain can pass directly into the bloodstream. Among the most critical of these contaminants is chlorine.

Ovarro’s end-to-end leakage detection system, EnigmaREACH, has entered its fifth UK strategic deployment, as water companies adopt the proven technology to meet ambitious water loss targets.
