In the fluid handling industry, the choice between seal-less pumps and traditional sealed pumps has long been a topic of discussion.
The former, as the name suggests, operates without mechanical seals, which are typically used in sealed pumps to prevent fluid from leaking.
While sealed pumps have served various industries for decades, seal-less pumps have been gaining... [Read More]

The safety of drinking water and sanitation systems has a direct impact on human health.
While many societies enjoy incredibly high water and sanitation quality, approximately 40% of the world’s recognized countries have an EPI (Environmental Performance Index) score of less than 50 (out of 100).
As societies look for answers to these problems, Bionetix® International... [Read More]

According to a European Commission report, pumping systems account for nearly 22% of the energy consumed by electric motors worldwide and consume approximately 8.7% t of global electricity.
However, by implementing variable speed drives (VSDs) in pump applications, energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved — depending on the system and its demand profile.
Pump... [Read More]
