Armand Sohet Appointed as Sulzer’s Chief Sustainability Officer

Kanishka Arumugam, Co-CEO of EKKI Water Technologies, has been appointed as an Honorary Fellow at the University of Warwick’s Institute for Global Sustainable Development (IGSD).

Sulzer has launched a new shut-off device SOD for horizontal SALOMIX™ SSA agitators that significantly reduces the time spent on servicing the seal. The device enables seal maintenance without emptying the tank, which makes the feature especially useful for very large tanks, wastewater treatment plants, and other critical processes.

Government initiatives to reduce emissions are gathering momentum, especially with many countries aiming for net carbon zero by 2030 or 2050. The building and construction sector is a particular focus, as it accounts for a significant amount of global energy- and process-related CO2 emissions, approximately 37% in 2021(i).

Sulzer pump technology has been selected by Raízen, Brazil’s largest producer of ethanol from biomass feedstock, as a supplier for their new second-generation ethanol (E2G) processing facilities. Sulzer is supplying a range of special metallurgy, process and utility pumps to process raw materials in support of renewable biofuel production for three new facilities. Made with sugarcane waste from Raizen’s conventional bioethanol production, E2G production has potential to increase efficiency by up to 50% while reducing emissions.
