  • 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.

  • 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.
  • Pump Industry Awards nominees Pump Industry Awards nominees
    Here are the nominees for the 2012 Pump Industry Awards.
  • Hydropower from KSB pumps-as-turbines
    Brazil is known for its use of hydropower, but when a small, remote tourism complex in a Brazilian nature reserve needed additional power supply, a conventional hydropower solution was deemed too expensive. A more affordable option came in the form of a KSB centrifugal pump driving an electric motor acting as a generator.

  • 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.
  • 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...
  • Avoiding dry run conditions in plants
    When one of the top electric generating plants in the U.S. experienced a cataclysmic event resulting in the shutdown of a critical high energy boiler feed water pump, operators called on Quadna, a DXP company, for help. The pump was sent to Quadna’s headquarters for a teardown, upgrade and rebuild. Quadna engineers recommended using DuPont Vespel CR6100 for the booster pump’s bushings and casing wear rings.
  • Battling the energy crisis with technology
    Worldwide, countries have made commitments to significantly increasing their share of electricity generated from renewable sources by 2020. Sulzer Pumps supports fulfilling these targets with pumping solutions and services for concentrated solar power generation, geothermal power generation, as well as for the storage of electrical energy produced from renewable sources.
  • An inside look at SPX Technology
