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.

Electric actuators with variable motor speed offer an effective solution for the automation of large penstocks, whether in sewage treatment plants, retention basins or flood protection systems.

With the delivery of ten GVRN sulfuric acid pumps and a mobile RN tank‑drainage pump, to a major zinc smelter in Central Asia, Rheinhütte Pumpen highlights its expertise in handling highly concentrated sulfuric acid—from alloy development and engineering to comprehensive testing on one of the most advanced pump test stands in the world.

International technology group ANDRITZ has secured a significant order from CB Elektrik Üretim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., a subsidiary of CABA Group, to supply the entire electromechanical equipment for the new Cizre hydropower plant in Türkiye.

In the arid districts of Jasel, Choumi, and Churri in India, access to groundwater is vital for sustaining agriculture. Farmers in these regions rely on deep irrigation wells to secure a steady water supply in an environment where rainfall can be unpredictable and temperatures can soar to extreme levels. Drilling to such depths under harsh site conditions leaves little room for equipment failure.

Voith has been awarded the contract by Kraftwerke Oberhasli AG (KWO) to equip the new Grimsel 4 pumped storage power plant in Switzerland. The scope includes the supply and installation of two variable-speed pump turbines, each with a capacity of 70 MW, including associated motor generators.
