  • Advanced hollow fiber UF membranes improve performance in tertiary water treatment
    Growing global demand for clean water and increasing environmental concerns make membrane filtration the technology of choice for municipalities and industries seeking to reuse wastewater and reduce their water footprint. But how is the technology developing in this field?
  • 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.

  • New test facility in Naples, Italy
    Pump qualification and verification for the European market requires testing in third party laboratories to gain accurate and economical measurements of pump performance. This paper looks at the new Hydro-Energy Laboratory (HELab), inaugurated in 2015 at the University of Naples Federico II in Italy.
  • Safety and containment in chemical handling
    When manufacturing or handling dangerous and hazardous chemicals, crucial considerations include safety, full product containment, leakage and operational costs. This article from pump manufacturer PSG discusses how and why sealless pumps can provide benefits over pumps with packing rings or mechanical seals when meeting these requirements.
  • Seal-free design eliminates downtime
    Global producer of polymer emulsions and specialty chemicals, Organik Kimya, is able to optimize the safety and reliability of polymer emulsions’ manufacturing at its Rotterdam plant with Mouvex C24i Series Eccentric Disc Pumps.
  • Keeping up with energy demand
    This year sees the 130th year anniversary of SPX Flow's ClydeUnion Pumps manufacturing facility in Glasgow. The company explains how it has evolved over the years to keep up with the increasing demands of the global energy industry.

  • Complete guide for the correct selection of pumps in the UNIQA range
    This technical manual discusses the basic technical concepts applicable to all pumps, as well as those which apply specifically to The Zenit Group's UNIQA pumps range.
  • Evaluating the impact of chemical waste: How safety and the bottom line can both benefit
    This paper demonstrates that it is possible to reduce chemical costs by identifying and limiting the wastes found in dispensing, storage and application. Reducing these hidden costs will also improve productivity and health and safety in the workplace.
  • Improving efficiency in electric motors
    This article discusses the rules, guidelines and the best practices to reduce losses in induction electric motors.
  • Feeding the grid from river water
    The German Federal Government supports the use of regenerative energy. Two prototype river turbines were installed in the river Rhine, near the German town of St Goar. The turbines successfully provided the town with electric power from river water, prompting the company who designed them to put them into commercial operation.
  • Reducing avoidable pressure losses
    Industrial plants frequently employ oversized pumps out of caution. Pressure losses, and consequently energy consumption, may thus be unnecessarily high. Dr Walter Schicketanz explains in detail how such avoidable pressure drops can be determined both theoretically and in the field, as well as examining how to reduce them.
