Hydra-Cell Pumps Reduce Costly Maintenance and Downtime

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.

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.

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 and environmental pollution.

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.

Global pump OEM Sulzer has won an order to supply multiple water injection packages to Seatrium for Petrobras’ next generation P-84 and P-85 Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. The project was awarded to Sulzer due to its track record of providing industry-leading pumps for the most challenging offshore oil and gas operations globally. For both vessels, Sulzer has met the strict acceptance criteria and application requirements of the end user.

In a major leap toward water security in the south of France, Eau d’Azur has launched the country’s first smart water network. The €5.9 million initiative will modernize 3,000 kilometers of infrastructure across the Côte d’Azur, aiming to reduce leaks, cut energy use, and secure reliable water service for over 500,000 residents.
