Eletrobras Eletronorte, Latin America’s largest power utility company, is using Voith’s monitoring system OnCare.Health Hydro at the Belo Monte hydropower plant in Brazil.

Amarinth has supplied EDF with a fully interchangeable vertical pump to replace an obsolete Goodwin ATEX unit at the Sizewell B Power Station.

Pfeiffer Vacuum has received yet another major order for leak detectors from CERN. CERN is seated in Geneva on the Franco-Swiss border and is the largest center for particle physics research in the world.

The Danish company IRON Pump will supply specially designed pumps that will supply cooling water for a new power plant in the Bahamas.

The water desalination experts Rawafid Industrial and Advanced Water Technology (AWT) have built an ultra-modern plant for extracting drinking water on the coast of the Arabian Gulf in response to demand for a reliable supply of drinking water for a growing population.

Voith’s asset and workforce management software OnCare.Asset is now available for the hydropower industry. The app-based software solution enables customers to efficiently track and store their asset and workforce data.

Hydro-Québec is the largest power utility in Canada and generates nearly all of its electricity using water. In order to improve the performance of turbines and generators and to make maintenance as simple as possible, Hydro-Québec uses the latest technology from the Siemens PLM Software solution portfolio.

GEA supplements its GEA Hilge Hygia range with a 45 kilowatt motor, thereby expanding the hygienic pump’s performance spectrum to a flow rate of 180 cubic meters per hour. The new version is also suitable for demanding pharmaceutical applications, particularly because the use of high-quality, no-cast materials in CIP- and SIP-capable special pumps is a critical factor in the production of life science products.

The power generation pumps market is likely to witness steady growth, with global demand expected to exceed 4,000,000 units by the end of 2018. The growth of the market is influenced by rising energy demand, especially in the developing regions. Integration of new technologies including sensors to monitor different parameters in the power generation pumps is also on a rise.

Pfeiffer Vacuum has received yet another major order for turbopumps and turbo pumping stations from CERN.
