Sulzer Cuts Component Repair Times Using Laser Metal Deposition

Sulzer’s ZF-RO combines experience and expert engineering for improved reliability and efficiency. Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants are playing an important role in supplying freshwater to communities that are struggling to find sufficient supplies. Sulzer is supporting these vital facilities with purpose-built pumps that are designed to optimize efficiency and reliability in this challenging application.

Sulzer has signed a five-year customer service agreement (CSA) with PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE), the geothermal energy subsidiary of Indonesia’s state-owned Pertamina.

Sulzer celebrated the launch of its new service center for mass transfer components and services in the Econova Business Park in Essen, Northwest Germany. While mass transfer components are used to improve the efficiency of chemical operations, the new facility provides operational capabilities supported by local service teams to ensure optimal performance in the region’s chemical and process industries. To mark the occasion, Sulzer hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for distinguished guests and dignitaries.

As part of one of the largest investments in Europe for wastewater treatment, a plant near Naples, Italy, was equipped with innovative technologies to improve water quality while minimizing energy usage. At the core of effective denitrification operations are Sulzer’s XRW 400 submersible mixers with a permanent magnet motor, which could cut energy costs by up to EUR 45’000.

Sulzer’s energy-efficient flow technologies are driving circular processes at the world’s largest water treatment facility. With a capacity of up to 7.5 million cubic meters per day, Egypt’s New Delta Treatment Plant is treating agricultural drainage water and wastewater from the region for reuse. The clean water produced at the plant will be reused to cultivate 1.2 million acres of arable land. Sulzer’s integrated solutions and expertise help treat water that is channeled along a 120 km-long waterway to support sustainable water management and food security for the area.

Designing new airport terminals is a complex task and involves many engineering disciplines. While the flow of passengers and luggage are obvious areas for optimization, the planning and design of equipment for managing wastewater and rainwater are equally important, even if they are less noticeable. Sulzer has applied its expertise to the new terminal under construction in Frankfurt, Germany, to ensure all the wastewater remains out of sight.
