Traditionally, progressive cavity (PC) pumps have been regarded as the best solution for the most demanding fluid handling challenges.
They excel at handling highly viscous, abrasive and debris-laden media, making them particularly effective in wastewater treatment facilities.
Despite these advantages, conventional PC pumps have gained a reputation for difficult and... [Read More]

With no need for compressed air, early electric actuators can operate with less sound and less maintenance than the predominant pneumatic actuator.
Of course, the standard pneumatic option offered its own apparent benefits – performance in extreme temperatures, for example, and an elegant simplicity. As a result, the flow control industry has stubbornly clung to pneumatic... [Read More]

Gas flaring is now recognised as a major contributor to the emission of harmful gases affecting climate change and society by creating increased incidences of cancer in communities close to flaring sites.
Sadly, flaring has been around for more than 150 years since the advent of oil and gas production, occurring when crude oil is extracted underground and natural gas... [Read More]

As the saying goes: ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’.
A partly submerged tank containing a chopper pump and a mixer at Hendwr Farm’s biogas plant probably will not win any industry awards in the ‘aesthetically pleasing’ category. But who cares? Least of all, Phil Hughes, who runs it.
A traditional hill farm in North Wales that produces lamb and beef? Yes.... [Read More]

Protecting health and safety at tank farms used as large warehousing facilities for volatile liquids is a serious business.
For many facilities, using an inert gas like nitrogen to fill the “empty” space in each tank is an effective safety measure, but is expensive.
Tank farms
Tank terminals or tank farms are large storage facilities for chemical warehousing.... [Read More]

Oil and natural gas producers have always been diligent about recovering as much of their oilfield product as possible.
The product alone has considerable value, so any product losses impact the bottom line. But that’s not the only reason these producers have made product recovery a priority, especially in recent years.
