If concrete is involved, things get tough: “regular” water pumps often wear out faster than economically acceptable. However, for some applications even the smallest model is sufficient.
The sales market for plasticizers is enormous. In 2018, their global volume was 7.6 million metric tons according to the Ceresena Research market research institute – and the trend is steadily rising.
ViscoTec hygienic pumps are used for filling viscous cleaning agents into these pods or tabs.
Cleaning plays an essential role in the production of silicon wafers. It ensures the proper conductivity and function of the integrated circuits (ICs) produced in this process.
Especially when pumping chemically aggressive and abrasive waste water, as well as liquid chemicals, pumps must be particularly resilient and robust.
Boiler feed pumps are essential pieces of equipment for power generation plants. High energy requirements mean they need to be efficient as well as reliable. For one liquified natural gas (LNG) plant in South East Asia, nine boiler feed pumps needed urgent attention and Sulzer was called in to deliver the most effective solution.
Corrosion-resistant materials and durable shaft sealing systems – two important design features of pumps which will in future convey hot sulphuric acid at Aurubis AG in Hamburg. Aurubis AG exploits the waste heat created during production of this sulphuric acid to supply the eastern district of the HafenCity in Hamburg with CO2-free heat. The pumps employed are supplied by ITT Rheinhütte Pumpen which has a long tradition and proven record in the development and manufacture of pumps for corrosive media.
As part of a gas field expansion in Saudi Arabia, an international group approached the specialists at pump manufacturer Lewa Nikkiso Italy in February 2019 to commission the planning and delivery of 16 canned motor pumps. The systems that were ordered will be used in Saudi Arabia in raw oil processing and removing unwanted by-products from the gas flow.
Frankfurt Trade Fair has been in business for over 800 years. Today, it’s amongst the world’s biggest trade fair, congress and event organisers with own grounds. In 2018 another outstanding events space has been created with the inauguration of Hall 12. Messe Frankfurt is using highly efficient Wilo products for modern heating, air-conditioning and cooling technology in the hall.
The Kyoto Agreement of 1997, the Paris Agreement in 2015, nuclear phase-out: climate protection and, as a result, the need for alternative sources are on the agenda worldwide. The energy industry is increasingly placing its focus on renewable energies. Plant manufacturers of solar energy systems are also facing a constant source of new challenges and a continuous demand for innovation in order to be able to serve the growing market.
