The long-standing habit of “playing it safe” when specifying pump systems could be quietly driving up energy costs and reducing system performance across UK buildings, according to water technology company DAB Pumps.

LEWA has significantly improved the performance of its LEWA ecoflow LDH Boxer (LDHB) process pump by20%, enabling operators to improve efficiency. The upgrade allows users to boost performance without resizing equipment or increasing system costs. For example, at a flow rate of 2,200 l/h, the maximum discharge pressure rises from 622 bar to 746 bar. Alternatively, at 75 bar, flow capacity increases from 18,000 l/h to 21,600 l/h.

CIRCOR International unveils its new Biofuel Upgrade Kits for IMO Marine Pumps, a strategic advancement that enables commercial marine operators to efficiently and confidently prepare their existing pump systems for biofuel adoption. In response to mounting regulatory pressures and the global drive for emissions reduction, these kits deliver a straightforward, secure, and sustainable retrofit solution specifically engineered to support fuels such as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) in line with ISO 8217:2024 requirements.

Parker Hannifin announces the expansion of its SensoControl portfolio with a new generation of controllers and switches, further strengthening its position in intelligent monitoring and control for fluid power and industrial applications within automotive industrial manufacturing, off-road machinery for agriculture and power generation.

Tank base corrosion presents a significant challenge for above-ground storage tanks, threatening structural integrity, risking environmental contamination, and incurring costly repairs or replacements. Recognizing the critical need for robust protection, Denso, offers the Viscotaq Tank Base Corrosion Protection System—a cutting-edge solution designed to mitigate these risks effectively.

NWPX Park and NWPX Geneva highlight their GreaseTrooper Gravity Grease Interceptor (GGI), a reliable, code-compliant solution for restaurants, institutional kitchens, food processing plants, and industrial facilities that must manage fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in wastewater.

Aeration is a critical component of both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, enabling the effective removal of organic contaminants and supporting regulatory compliance. Blowers have long been essential, but they are often associated with high energy consumption, noise and ongoing maintenance demands.

ALLWEILER showcased a portfolio of pump solutions for demanding wastewater and industrial applications, including the launch of its new AE RD/RE Hopper Pump, as well as the RG Hopper Pump ZD, ALLDUR stators, ALLPRO propeller pumps, and AEB DE dosing pumps at IFAT 2026.

Valve specialist GEMÜ is expanding globe valve GEMÜ S40 by actuator size 0, thereby adding another flexible solution for small nominal sizes and low operating pressures to the globe valve range of the latest product generation.
