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.
The European tech company Wioniq introduces WATER+, an AI-based monitoring solution developed by Pluvion. The solution helps municipalities detect hidden leaks and reduce unnecessary treatment costs.
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.
National Pump Company highlights its line of deep well vertical turbine pumps, engineered to deliver reliability and versatility for demanding water extraction projects.
Hoyer, a global supplier of electric motors and automation solutions, and VMS Group, a leading marine service provider, announced the creation of Hoyer VMS Group. The new company combines complementary strengths to deliver a unique global offering for power and motion solutions across marine and industrial markets – one partner that can supply, service, repair, and optimise critical systems throughout their lifetime.
ProMinent is expanding its DULCONNEX digital platform with the new Remote Control Module. The platform connects measuring, control and metering devices, enabling processes to be monitored centrally, data to be evaluated and devices to be controlled directly from a PC workstation – conveniently from a remote location.
Particle detectors on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, will be kept cool using LEWA diaphragm metering pumps. The specially modified LEWA pumps will constantly feed liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) into the detectors’ cooling circuit at temperatures as low as -55 °C.
In accordance with EU Directive 2024/3190, a Europe-wide ban on the use of bisphenol A (BPA) and its derivatives took effect on January 20, 2025. This decree applies to all industrial companies that produce, market or use materials that come into contact with food.
The Hydraulic Institute introduces member company, Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), as the latest company to have their pump test laboratory, located at Kirloskarvadi, Maharashtra approved through the HI Pump Test Lab Approval Program.
Packo, a Verder company, is proud to introduce the LTE series, an innovative electric driven lobe pump designed specifically for installation in tanker trucks serving the food and chemical sectors. This new development represents a major step forward in sustainable transport of viscous liquids such as chocolate, juices, oils, syrups, and more.
Extreme heat is pushing cooling demand to new highs, prompting countries to increasingly rely on fossil fuel-based power sources to keep the grids stable and flexible.
