  • Advanced Conversion: Maximising the Potential for Energy from Waste
    One of the most readily-available and viable solutions to help address the challenge of our growing energy needs is Energy-from-Waste (EfW) – which has the potential to take a multitude of waste streams (such as municipal solid waste) and convert them into energy. We look at how modern techniques can make the technology more efficient.

  • Energy-efficientcontainment shells Energy-efficientcontainment shells
    The energy efficiency of containment shells in magnetic coupled units are at a disadvantage in the high performance range. However, by combining proven technology with modern materials, a new segment containment shell of different design meant that magnetic losses could be reduced by 20%.

  • Flow is marketing,head is energy Flow is marketing,head is energy
    Precision-engineered industrial pumps typically employ sophisticated seals and bearings but frequently their performance record is poor compared to the humble car radiator water pump. Why is this? The Pump Guy (aka Larry Bachus) explains the all-important role of ‘the system’.
  • South America pump focus South America pump focus
    Over the past months, World Pumps has been building up a store of articles on South America. These include news stories of company activities in the area, case studies reporting on innovative approaches to difficult problems, and features giving not only technological overviews, but market insight too.
  • Smarter systems in South America from ITT Goulds. Smarter systems in South America from ITT Goulds.
    Recent advances in pump hardware and software help plants achieve lower energy costs, higher equipment reliability and improved process efficiency. Here, with some examples in South America, ITT Goulds Pumps argue that Variable-frequency drives are the centerpiece of most smart pumping solutions.

  • Case study: Two-shaft Turbine Feed Pumps For Nuclear Power Station and Thermal Power Station
    The disaster at the Fukushima-1 Nuclear Power Plant raised questions about the safety of nuclear energy technologies. However, improving safety measures for modern nuclear technologies is possible. One of the latest trends, highlighted in this case study, is the use of feed electric pumps (FEP) in the systems of the recreated Nuclear Power Stations.
  • Distributor adapts to changing market
    AxFlow’s growth over the past 25 years can be largely attributed to its willingness to introduce new concepts and strategies that address the changing face of the pump industry, and also through acquiring appropriate businesses. Representing several of the world’s leading pump manufacturers, AxFlow is looking to expand its horizons.
  • Answering global de-watering needs
    Pioneer Pump is a privately-owned company located in the UK, US and South Africa. It specialises in the design and manufacture of high-quality end suction centrifugal pumps, mainly for the mining, construction, municipal and industrial markets. World Pumps asked MD Simon Ruffles about the sectors addressed and their needs.
  • Metal to composites for improving reliability
    Conversion of metal pump wear parts to advanced composite materials can lead to substantial annual cost savings through increased seal and bearing life, less risk of pump seizures, increased MTBR (Mean Time Between Repair), and reduced energy use. This is demonstrated by major industrial companies that transitioned from metals to DuPont Vespel CR-6100 wear parts for some of their toughest pump applications...
  • Water & wastewater - New SAF range is proven fish friendly
    In 2007, legislation was brought into eff ect to tackle the rapid decline in global populations of the European eel. Trials show that Bedford Pumps’ new SAF range of pumps are fish and eel friendly with no direct mortality observed from exposure to the pump. Bedford Pumps has just installed its fi rst fi sh friendly pump at a new pumping station in Kempsey, the first station in the UK to comply fully with the new EU regulations.
