International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company and a leading global player, to equip the new Gandikota pumped storage plant in the YSR Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh, India.

As climate change drives both heavier rainfall and prolonged dry spells, SuDS are increasingly viewed as a tool to address both challenges, writes Lorna Davis, director, SuDSPlanter.

An Italian pump manufacturer has ordered Vesconite Hilube line shaft bushings following a successful efficiency test conducted at its pump’s Best Efficiency Point (BEP). The manufacturer incorporated Vesconite Hilube bushings into one of its submersible pump designs and tested a pump continuously for 40 hours at its most efficient operating point.

With the installation of Alfa Laval’s state-of-the-art Foodec Sigma decanter, Caminhos do Futuro has quadrupled its extra virgin olive oil processing capacity, increasing from 1,500 kg/hour to 6,000 kg/hour.

Reliable access to water is essential for agriculture, construction, and development – and it often starts with efficient water well drilling. In the Spanish countryside near Zaragoza, a local drilling company is relying on Atlas Copco’s compact, powerful, and fuel-efficient X-Air⁺ 750-25 portable air compressor to carry out well drilling projects with ease and confidence.

German Water Partnership e. V. (GWP) and the Mykolaiv Water Hub (MWH) have officially launched a joint project to promote knowledge and technology transfer in the fields of water and wastewater management, sustainable municipal infrastructure, energy efficiency, and climate protection in Ukraine.

A supplier of premium products and services to the oil and gas service industry has repeated purchases of Vesconite Hilube bushings for Roper gear pumps, following the bushings’ successful in-field performance on the pumps’ drive and the driven (idler) gear shafts.

A global manufacturer of scented plastic garbage bags was looking for an alternative to the use of pre-scented plastic pellets. A serendipitous encounter at a tradeshow led them to a precision gear metering pump solution that gave them accuracy and consistency at the low flow rates required, while also reducing their costs and improving worker health. Yearly savings are so high that the return on investment for the pump system can be measured in days.
Seeking an alternative for costly pre-scented plastic pellets

Following a successful deployment at a major Midlands NHS hospital, a new intelligent wastewater pumping system is helping to eliminate wastewater blockages and reduce maintenance costs in some of the UK’s most demanding infrastructure environments.

Severe-duty motors are designed to withstand the most demanding operational conditions, where extreme environments challenge equipment performance and longevity. Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, mining, metals, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, and cement production rely on these motors for their durability and consistent performance.
