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.

National Pump Company (NPC) offers a comprehensive line of API 610 vertical turbine pumps designed for the rigorous requirements of the oil and gas industries. The pumps are engineered to meet the requirements of the current edition of API 610 standards. This allows NPC’s vertical turbine designed pumps to provide the reliability, hydraulic performance and maintainability required in critical service applications such as tank farms, pipeline booster stations, refineries and terminals.

SEEPEX expands its portfolio with FlowShred, a solid conditioning system featuring a twinshaft grinder that efficiently reduces heterogeneous organic waste from food production and converts it into a pumpable medium. The compact, pre-assembled system combines mechanical size reduction with conveying via an integrated progressive cavity pump, ensuring stable processes, continuous throughput, and minimal downtime.

From May 4th to 7th, the Swedish company IBECO will make its debut as an exhibitor at IFAT in Munich, Germany. IFAT is one of the world’s largest trade fairs for environmental technology, water, and wastewater. IBECO will use the fair to present its new product for the water and construction industries: the mobile pump shaft.

Industrial motors are often described in terms of horsepower, voltage, efficiency class, or frame size. Yet in heavy industries like oil and gas, power generation, mining, pulp and paper, water treatment, and beyond, motor reliability is not determined by nameplate data. Long term performance depends just as much on what happens before startup and after commissioning as it does on the motor’s electromagnetic design.

GEMÜ is consistently driving forward with automation and electrification of biopharmaceutical processes: With immediate effect, the motorized pinch valve GEMÜ Q50 eSyStep is also available for tube sizes of up to 1” inside diameter.
