Stormwater pumps will often be motionless for extended periods of time, but when water levels rise, they must be able to perform at a moment’s notice. Achieving the necessary reliability requires regular maintenance and periodic component refurbishment.
Sulzer is strengthening its collaboration with Blue Planet to continue the development of highly innovative carbon capture and storage technology. The ground-breaking mineralization process permanently stores carbon emissions captured from heavy industries in aggregate form, which can then be used to produce carbon-negative concrete.
Australian wine is world-renowned, and vineyards across the country go to great lengths to grow the perfect grape. Irrigation is paramount to achieve this in a hot climate, so farmers are always looking to deliver water to vines in the most efficient way possible.
Sulzer has successfully finalized an extensive modernization project in the Kotka pump factory. The automation and digitization of the processes will take the production to a completely new level, cutting production throughput time by 93%.
Pushing older equipment to meet an increased duty requirement can sometimes result in reliability issues down the line. However, achieving this by sourcing newer replacements can be costly and prohibitively time consuming. To avoid either outcome, one of the largest oil refineries on the island of Java, Indonesia, relied on the specialist knowledge of Sulzer to refurbish and modernize eight diesel pumps.
Sulzer Pumpen (Deutschland) GmbH has marked its 150th anniversary by holding a celebration at its pump factory in Bruchsal. Gathering local dignitaries and colleagues, the event showcased the rich history of the company and its goals for the future.
Looking ahead at rising sea levels, water utilities in low-lying areas need to be planning how to handle increased risks of flooding. In Denmark, defenses in the Ringkøbing Fjord have been bolstered by the installation of two new pumping stations, which have been designed and equipped by Sulzer.
