Sudsplanter Ltd has delivered a multi-site sustainable drainage project across seven schools in the London Borough of Merton helping to manage surface water runoff and reduce localised flooding. Identified by the council as being at high risk of surface water flooding through risk mapping, the schools had experienced recurring problems, including water pooling in playgrounds, that disrupted outdoor activities and, in some cases, flooding which impacted classrooms and learning environments.

Following its acquisition of compressor manufacturer Köhler & Hörter (KOHO Kompressorsysteme, or KOHO) last year, the marine pump and gauging system specialist Svanehoj has appointed long-time Neuman & Esser executive Jens Wulff as Managing Director of KOHO and Head of Compressors at Svanehoj.

Instead of climbing 8-metre-high tanks for risky manual dip-tape readings, Sanut Dominicana now monitors its tallow and lard storage automatically with 12 compact 80 GHz radar units, KROHNE’s OPTIWAVE 1520 – safer, more reliable, and free of pump dry-running or overfills.

Water scarcity, increasing industrial demand, and stricter wastewater treatment requirements are driving up investment needs in the water sector worldwide. Water reuse, in particular, is gaining importance. In this market environment, the Australian-German water technology company De.mem significantly increased its revenue, earnings, and operating cash flow in the first half of 2026.

European Desalination Society (EDS) has announced its EDS 2027 conference and exhibition, “Water Resilience: Desalination, Recycling & Clean Water Solutions”. With England alone facing a possible public water supply shortfall of up to 5 billion litres per day by 2055, the event brings together industry and academic experts to explore desalination, water recycling and demand management as part of a resilient water-supply future.

National Pump Company expands its vertical turbine pump line with the new H28MC and H28LC models. The 28-inch pumps fill the hydraulic gap between the existing H24 and H30 series and are engineered for high-flow municipal water and wastewater applications, delivering efficiencies of up to 87%.

Dependable high-pressure pumping is vital to modern longwall coal mining operations, but mines are increasingly looking beyond this requirement to apply integrated and automated solutions that respond dynamically to changing production conditions while providing real-time performance data.

EKKI HOMA, the international joint venture between India’s EKKI Group and Germany’s HOMA Pumpenfabrik GmbH, has launched LINUS HYNA, a new range of clog-defence sewage submersible pumps, at IFAT India 2026 in Mumbai.
