The mining industry has entered a decisive decade – with 2030 looming as a critical interim milestone for reaching vital carbon and water reduction targets.

Voith is modernizing two additional pump-turbines at the Torrejón hydroelectric power plant in Spain. The contract from Iberdrola Generación S.A. builds on an ongoing modernization project and continues the collaboration on the phased modernization of the plant.

Amarinth is developing four bespoke drain disposal pumps for the NLNG crude delivery pipeline at the Gbetiokun Field, further expanding its footprint in the African energy sector.

COPEL (Companhia Paranaense de Energia) has awarded ANDRITZ two turnkey contracts for the supply and commissioning of additional generating units at the Foz do Areia and Segredo hydropower plants on the Iguaçu River in Paraná, Brazil.

In modern medical technology, maximum precision in the application of adhesives, coatings, or potting compounds is vital. Especially for medical devices in the highest risk class III, such as implants, the safety and reliability of the end product depend significantly on exact dosing. Microdispensing plays a key role wherever the finest structures must be joined or sealed without impairing the product’s function or flexibility.

GF is contributing to one of Europe’s most significant industrial decarbonization projects by delivering a turnkey marine intake and onshore pipeline system for global steel company SSAB at its new green steel plant in Luleå (Sweden).

Mercury NZ Limited has selected international technology group ANDRITZ to supply 9 new turbines and 13 new generators for a major upgrade of the Maraetai I, Ātiamuri, and Ōhakuri Hydro Stations in New Zealand.

Amarinth has successfully engineered a bespoke suite of API 685 VS4 magnetic drive pumps for a high-profile LNG processing expansion in the Middle East, overcoming spatial limitations and complex maintenance hurdles to deliver a solution that reduces construction costs while ensuring zero-emission operation.

India is significantly expanding its pumped storage capacity to balance the growing share of variable renewable energy from solar and wind in its energy mix. ANDRITZ will equip Torrent Power’s new Saidongar-1 Karjat pumped storage plant with ten pump turbine units and additional electromechanical equipment.

When a strategic Scottish Water pumping station had to be taken out of service unexpectantly, the utility faced the risk of over-pumping. Working with Xylem and its Avensor service, the team used real-time insights to resolve the issue, avoid disruption and return the station to full operation, writes Mark McCullagh, Xylem’s Scotland South project manager.
