Pressing the gas pedal
Global demand for natural gas increased at a stronger rate in 2024 than in the previous two years, which were heavily affected by the turmoil of the global energy crisis. At the same time, new gas supplies that came into the market last year remained limited due to the relatively slow growth of LNG production while geopolitical tensions continued to fuel price volatility,...

Effective aeration for wastewater treatment
Aerating wastewater might be a so-called ‘secondary treatment’, but when foul odours create such an unpleasant environment, putting it right becomes a primary concern. If that stench is also upsetting your neighbours, you may soon find yourselves receiving visits from the Environment Agency and facing a wave of unwelcome publicity. Local residents, armed with social... [Read More]

Hydrotesting boost
Hydrostatic testing, or “hydrotesting”, is a critical step in confirming the integrity of vessels that handle a variety of fluids — from water to crude oil. The irony is that the same water used to test for leaks or weak points also introduces the risk of corrosion into the vessel, potentially leading to further integrity issues or corrosion-related problems in future. What’s... [Read More]

UK health organisation saves with new pump and control system
Pump service specialists Dura Pump has solved a significant sewage headache for a large hospital in the Midlands in the UK, saving the NHS Trust three-quarters of a million pounds per year. All too frequent blockages from floating debris, plus fats, oils and greases had rendered the existing system unfit for purpose - with the NHS hospital facing constant downtime and... [Read More]

How Coriolis flowmeters got their name – and kept it
Coriolis flowmeters hold the distinction of being the only type of flowmeter that measures mass directly. Other devices — such as thermal meters, mass flow controllers, and multivariable flowmeters — either derive mass flow by multiplying volumetric flow by density, or by relying on other indirect indicators. One exception is that some mass flow controllers also... [Read More]
