Celeros Flow Technology (Celeros FT) has secured multiple contracts to supply the safety-critical nuclear pump packages for Sizewell C, the UK’s newest nuclear power station. The pumps will be designed and manufactured by the company’s ClydeUnion Pumps brand at its nuclear-accredited facility in Annecy, France.

EBARA CORPORATION (EBARA) announces the successful operation of its new leak-free canned motor pump for liquid ammonia, which features a newly developed structure introduced in September 2023. The product was delivered to JERA Co., Inc.’s Hekinan Thermal Power Station for demonstration of fuel ammonia substitution, and it successfully operated using liquid ammonia on-site.

During construction of a new convention center in Muskegon, Michigan, PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, was detected in the water being pumped out to build the foundation. Construction Simplified contacted Evoqua Water Technologies, a Xylem company, which quickly delivered a mobile solution that treated 21 million gallons (79,500 cubic meters) of water. By the end of the project, the mobile treatment solution had removed the PFAS to non-detect levels.

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.

Solutions enable industry and municipalities to address challenges of water scarcity, water affordability, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance. As water challenges escalate in India, Xylem is sharpening its customer focus and making it simpler for utilities, municipalities and commercial users of water across the country to adopt advanced water solutions.

Delivering potable water to the residents, commerce and industrial infrastructure of Montréal is a massive task for the City’s Water Department. The Department operates six water treatment plants, the largest of which are Atwater and Charles-J.-Des Baillets.

Being able to provide perfect water quality levels in swimming pools that are very busy can be a challenge. However, full compliance with all prescribed setpoints, such as combined chlorine or chlorate, must be ensured at all times. The AQWA Pool and Sauna Park in Walldorf, Germany, therefore uses measuring and control technology from ProMinent.

A Romanian water utility is using advanced analytics to transform its infrastructure and tackle water losses in real time. ApaVital S.A., which serves more than half a million people in the region of Iasi, will apply intelligent data integration software to optimize its network, detect and prevent leaks, and ensure a more sustainable water supply for its communities.

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.
