GEA has strengthened its valve and pump technology portfolio with the acquisition of Hydract A/S, a Danish specialist in water hydraulic process valve technology. The move introduces an alternative actuation method that replaces conventional compressed air systems with water, aiming to reduce the energy demand associated with valve operation. Hydract’s technology... [Read More]

Emerson has introduced the Anderson Greenwood Type 84 pressure relief valve, designed to deliver reliable, leak tight performance in demanding hydrogen and high pressure gas services across the energy and petrochemical sectors. As hydrogen continues to gain momentum as a key enabler of the energy transition, equipment integrity and safety have become critical considerations.... [Read More]

For design engineers and specifiers in the general industrial market, corrosion can be a major challenge. Even the highest quality products can fail when used incorrectly. But how do engineers select the best materials? They carefully analyse the operating environment and ask themselves three key questions. Firstly, is the material composition susceptible to cracking?... [Read More]

At the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Snohomish, Washington (just north of Seattle), nothing has really visibly changed with the Lakeside Screw Pumps that were installed in 1995 – apart from the colour. Two 72” Screw Pumps and one 42” Screw Pump from Lakeside Equipment Corporation, Illinois, are now red (from their original blue), simply to match the plant’s... [Read More]

United Utilities is set to invest more than £525 million (€602 million) improving water quality across Salford over the next five years – the biggest ever upgrade to the city’s wastewater network. The major package of works will cut storm overflows, protect waterways, and make the sewer network more resilient for the future. Together, the investment over the next... [Read More]

QatarEnergy has halted production of LNG as conflict in the Middle East escalates. The company will continue to communicate the ‘latest available information’. Earlier in the day, Qatar Ministry of Defence said drones had hit an energy facility in Ras Laffan Industrial City belonging to QatarEnergy, and a power plant in Mesaieed. Saudi Aramco has shut its 550,000... [Read More]

A new intelligent valve platform has been unveiled by AquaFlow Dynamics, designed to help utilities tackle leakage and improve network resilience. The system uses embedded sensors and adaptive flow control to detect pressure anomalies in real time, automatically adjusting to prevent bursts and reduce non revenue water. The company claims early trials have cut leakage... [Read More]

FlowCore Industries has launched its next generation magnetic drive pump series, engineered for aggressive and high temperature media for the petrochemical sector. The new design improves energy efficiency by 12% through reduced internal friction and enhanced impeller geometry. Built with corrosion resistant alloys and leak free containment, the pumps aim to support... [Read More]
