Because they can be soluble in a variety of substances, emulsifiers are frequently used when immiscible components have to be combined. In order to achieve a suitable mixture, such as in food production, the pure, highly concentrated emulsifier is diluted beforehand to the working intensity.

Since July 2016, Lewa have been successively taking over the global sales of centrifugal canned pumps from its Japanese parent company, Nikkiso Co. Ltd. To even better meet the requirements of the European market, the reliable Nikkiso “Non-Seal” brand centrifugal canned motor pumps will be available from January 2019, also in accordance with DIN EN ISO 2858.

Tsunehisa Suita has been managing Lewa Group together with Stefan Glasmeyer and Dr. Martin Fiedler since September 1, 2018.

Industry experts speculate that the delivery of biogas, synthetic natural gas and hydrogen will increase significantly in coming years. Since, in the case of biomethane (as an example), development toward decentralized production in volumes of up to 12,500 Nm³/h is to be expected simultaneously, the use of appropriately dimensioned odorizing systems will also become essential.

The thirst for the coveted raw product of natural gas remains unquenched, despite the crisis in oil and gas. Each year, the global quantity of drilling platforms increases – their number has gone up by 25 percent in just the last seven years alone.

Manufacturers of milk-based food for babies and small children have to uphold the highest purity standards in their products, as well as consistent quality and optimal process safety in the plant.

This special pump design is primarily used for applications involving the transfer and circulation of critical—sometimes even flammable, explosive and/or toxic—fluids in the chemical and petrochemical industries.

As early as 2013, a total of 40 process diaphragm pumps were delivered to two large offshore platforms on the Persian Gulf for the purpose of pumping approx. 70 million m³ of natural gas per day and producing about 50 million m³ of gas that is ready for sale.

A diaphragm pump enables exact flavor metering or pinpoint addition of filtration aids in the food and beverage industry.

Lewa has commissioned a new test room for process pumps at Leonberg site. The new test facility allows the operation of up to four pumps in parallel in VFD operation. All pump data is continuously monitored.
