Flowrox has launched a new heavy-duty CF-S horizontal centrifugal pump that is designed for continuous pumping of highly abrasive and dense slurries.

Xylem has introduced its Wedeco Acton PE ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system. This new line of Wedeco UV systems is specifically tailored for use in saltwater and other harsh water conditions.

Seepex will introduce Smart Air Injection (SAI) to the market at WEFTEC 2019.

Smart systems which save energy and resources: from November 12 to 14, 2019, KHS is exhibiting intelligent beverage filling technologies at the BrauBeviale trade show in Nuremberg, Germany. One example of the above is the new high-performance KHS glass filler with a capacity of up to 80,000 bottles per hour.

According to the German Energy Agency (dena), biomethane production in Germany may increase as much as ten times over – from currently 9 terawatt hours to about 100 – by 2050. What is more, natural gas is the most important energy source for private households and accounts for 44 percent of the heating market. Before natural gas or biogas is fed into commercial supply networks, it must have an odorant added to it. Odorants serve as a warning in case of leakage.

Even in the pump industry, high-performance ceramics are becoming more and more popular. Especially with difficult-to-control media, such as liquid aluminum, the ceramic pump can exploit their advantages. The pump is completely made of ceramic and contains no foreign materials. Thus, refractory linings of any metal pipes are superfluous.

SPX Flow has a long history in supplying portable pump technology to the oil and gas industry. Some of its models have proved so successful and popular that they have been around (upgraded and improved) for almost 50 years and continue to be selected as reliable workhorses for the industry.

Pioneer Pump HWR Series Wear-Resistant Pumps provide resilience against abrasive materials to maintain peak performance longer in demanding light slurry, manure, fly ash, and mining applications.

A major challenge in dosing technology continues to be the gentle dosing of solids-laden liquids without damaging the solids. In addition, there is a risk that the solids will settle during prolonged downtimes. The material sediments. If this happens, the dosing unit becomes clogged and must be completely disassembled and cleaned. This interrupts the entire dosing process.

Sulzer takes its expertise in pumping solutions to the next level by introducing the Sulzer Sense wireless IoT condition monitoring system.
