Seven pump selection errors that stay invisible at quote time – from NPSH margins to viscosity correction. The free VSX whitepaper “Best Practices for Avoiding Hydraulic Pump Selection Errors” shows engineering and sales teams how to spot them early, what they cost and which standards apply. Includes an 8-point pre-selection checklist.
Double diaphragm pumps operate using an oscillating positive displacement principle. The pump consists of two main fluid housings and a central air control section. Inside each housing, a flexible diaphragm is mounted vertically and connected to a shared shaft. As compressed air enters and exits the air chambers, the diaphragms move in a coordinated push pull motion.
In its 60th anniversary year— since 1966, IFAT Munich has been the global meeting place for environmental technology industry —the world-leading trade fair is celebrating new record figures. Around 3,400 exhibitors and some 142,000 visitors attended the trade fair from May 4 to 7, 2026. Companies from around 60 countries and regions showcased innovative solutions for water, recycling, and circularity across 300,000 square meters—offering answers to some of the most pressing global challenges.
LEWA has significantly improved the performance of its LEWA ecoflow LDH Boxer (LDHB) process pump by20%, enabling operators to improve efficiency. The upgrade allows users to boost performance without resizing equipment or increasing system costs. For example, at a flow rate of 2,200 l/h, the maximum discharge pressure rises from 622 bar to 746 bar. Alternatively, at 75 bar, flow capacity increases from 18,000 l/h to 21,600 l/h.
Flender has officially started operating its new location in Brazil, strengthening its presence and service offerings in South America, especially in the wind energy sector, but also in the broadly diversified industrial business. This move follows the successful acquisition of the service business for wind turbine and assimilated industrial gear units from Wärtsilä Brasil Ltda., which started as a partnership in 2018 and represents the natural progression of this collaboration.
CIRCOR International unveils its new Biofuel Upgrade Kits for IMO Marine Pumps, a strategic advancement that enables commercial marine operators to efficiently and confidently prepare their existing pump systems for biofuel adoption. In response to mounting regulatory pressures and the global drive for emissions reduction, these kits deliver a straightforward, secure, and sustainable retrofit solution specifically engineered to support fuels such as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) in line with ISO 8217:2024 requirements.
Parker Hannifin announces the expansion of its SensoControl portfolio with a new generation of controllers and switches, further strengthening its position in intelligent monitoring and control for fluid power and industrial applications within automotive industrial manufacturing, off-road machinery for agriculture and power generation.
Grundfos, Danfoss, DSV and others have joined forces to investigate how materials and components from end-of-use products can be given a new lease of life and thus utilised far more effectively than at present. For example, through a joint take-back system designed to ensure more reuse and recycling.
LACO is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, US, and manufactures comprehensive vacuum solutions, vacuum chambers and advanced leak detection equipment, designed for aerospace, research and development, and diverse industrial applications.
Tank base corrosion presents a significant challenge for above-ground storage tanks, threatening structural integrity, risking environmental contamination, and incurring costly repairs or replacements. Recognizing the critical need for robust protection, Denso, offers the Viscotaq Tank Base Corrosion Protection System—a cutting-edge solution designed to mitigate these risks effectively.
Rising environmental standards, growing cost pressures, and a shortage of skilled workers: the demands on operators of municipal and industrial infrastructure continue to increase, making data-driven operations more critical than ever. At IFAT 2026, the leading trade fair for environmental technologies, Siemens will showcase how digital solutions help manage water quality, wastewater treatment and material flows in waste management more efficiently.
NWPX Park and NWPX Geneva highlight their GreaseTrooper Gravity Grease Interceptor (GGI), a reliable, code-compliant solution for restaurants, institutional kitchens, food processing plants, and industrial facilities that must manage fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in wastewater.
