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.
Valmet has received an order to deliver a comprehensive replacement of plant DCS and turbine control systems at the Ennatuurlijk’s combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in Helmond, the Netherlands. The modernization project will enhance the plant’s operational efficiency, reliability, and safety, while ensuring stable combined heat and power (CHP) production. The project also supports the company’s long-term commitment to achieving carbon neutrality.
Tackling leakage is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways for utilities to bolster water security, writes Ben Crabtree, product line director, Ovarro, revealing how the potential of smart technologies is being demonstrated around the world.
Electric motors are everywhere, found in industrial equipment, fans, pumps, compressors, heating and air conditioning systems, and many more. And yet, much of the energy in typical motors is dissipated as heat, friction, and design inefficiency. Energy efficient motors aim to make a difference: they convert more of the electrical energy into useful mechanical power, reducing energy consumption, slashing operating expenses, and shrinking environmental footprints.
Anglian Water has completed the installation of specialist wastewater treatment equipment from WCS Environmental Engineering (WCSEE). A total of 10 WCSEE Hybrid modular biological treatment units and two Flocell XFMs for tertiary solids removal were put in place as part of a major upgrade of Horning Knackers Wood water recycling centre (WRC) in north Norfolk.
After six years of anticipation, AchemAsia, the International Expo and Innovation Forum for Sustainable Chemical Production, has returned with a renewed spirit, bringing together global expertise, Chinese innovation, and a shared commitment to a greener industrial future. That is the conclusion of the organisers of AchemAsia.
LEWA has added two new model sizes to its range of micro-metering pumps to offer a wider choice of flow and pressure combinations, enabling more effective and cost-efficient gas odorization.
The Wilo Group has once again won the German Sustainability Award (DNP). The jury selected the multinational water technology group as the winner for the ‘Hydraulics, Pumps and Compressors’ industry, recognising, among other things, Wilo’s holistic focus on sustainable innovation.
Say hello to the newest and smallest member of the EsyBox family – the EsyBox Pop from DAB Pumps. Tiny, light and packed with smart technology, this little pump slots into the tightest of spaces while still delivering a serious performance boost to water pressure systems.
Green Highland, a Voith Company, has signed a long-term agreement to provide full operational support and maintenance services at the Kinlochleven hydropower plant, which is one of the oldest in the UK. Under the contract, Green Highland will assume full responsibility for daily operations and long-term maintenance.
