Sensor Technology has extended its new range of torque sensors with a model that has the sensing head and electronics in separate housings. This has two advantages: the sensing head can fit into very confined spaces, and the electronics can be located in a position where they are protected from physical damage, dust, dirt, moisture, electromagnetic forces, etc.
Europump (the European Pump Association) which represents 15 National Associations across the continent of Europe has now finalised the programme of talks and presentations for its 2024 Annual Meeting, which takes place in Windsor, UK from 22nd – 24th May.
Hosting an international sporting event may bring much-needed revenue to local communities, but it also brings some big challenges – such as the additional strain on local infrastructure.

Effective decarbonization of German industry – and with it, the achievement of the climate targets with a secure energy supply at the same time – is unthinkable without the expansion of hydrogen technologies. Since they are a carbon-free energy source, they do not release any emissions during combustion.
A Qdos CWT (Conveying Wave Technology) chemical metering pump ran for over 21 months dosing chlorine at Ergon – West Virginia Inc.’s paraffinic refinery in Newell, West Virginia in the United States, after replacing a diaphragm pump which lasted less than half the time on average.
Yorkshire Water, which provides water services to 5 million people in England, was spending too much time managing pump blockages at hundreds of pumping stations. To solve the problem, the utility tested Xylem’s intelligent Flygt Concertor N pump at a problematic site. After the pump eliminated all blockages, Yorkshire Water has now deployed the pump at over 150 pump stations, decreasing reactive callouts by 51% and contributing to a 29% reduction in energy use.
Sometimes there are moments that surprise even experts. This was the case recently when a dewatering pump survived a drop test from a height of seven metres – which was not really to be expected.
Amarinth announces a strengthened partnership with EthosEnergy to deliver regional product and after sales support of Amarinth’s range of oil and gas pumps in the United Arab Emirates. EthosEnergy has over four decades of experience in the oil and gas sector.
Dutch water utility Dunea supplies 1.3 million people with drinking water and has been a leader in water innovation for decades. In the 1950s, when population growth increased demand for clean water in the area, Dunea developed a unique, sustainable process to help increase supply.
Sulzer recently celebrated the official launch of a brand new test and assembly center built alongside its existing pump manufacturing facility in Mexico City. The new state-of-the-art facility features a 10-meter-deep hydraulics test bed for large pumps, a digital monitoring system and a dedicated packaging area.
