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.

Shell hydraulic fluids – a new generation
At the heart of any hydraulic system, pumps are exposed to severe wear by running at high revolutions over extended periods of time, often handling high temperatures and pressures. Today, some of the latest lubrication science is creating even greater benefits from this often-forgotten component, says Shell's Mark Draper.

Harmonics can ruin your power supply
Harmonic distortion is a form of pollution in the electricity supply that can make equipment behave erratically. They can be difficult to identify and users often attribute the symptoms to other causes, frequently applying mitigating action that fails to solve the problem. Here, ABB gives a few examples of how harmonics can be effectively dealt with if properly identified.

Reducing CO2 with Sulzer technologies
While it is forecasted that fossil fuel power generation will remain an important energy supplier in the next 20–30 years, other emerging technologies aim to avoid the production of CO2. Here, Sabine Sulzer from Sulzer Pumps looks at new, CO2 emission-free energy technologies, such as solar energy and bio-fuels, as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Sanitary Drum Unloading Solutions
Installing a Drum Unloading System can help to prevent hazardous processes effects due to potential employee injury and food safety. It also will save time and money thanks to the recent advancements to the Drum Unloading System by Graco.
