  • Widethroat offers waste oil solution
    An unwelcome by product of the oil production process is solid waste and waste oil. One option is to bury it and risk the consequential impact on the environment. However, another option is to incinerate the waste and this is just what happened at a site in Papua, New Guinea. Here we tell how a Mono Widethroat Waste Oil Incinerator Feed progressing cavity (pc) pump reduced the environmental impact of a waste plant.
  • Separating waste with automation Separating waste with automation
    A European waste facility required automation and control equipment to separate paper from commercial and industrial waste. A compact one-stop solution was chosen. Sourcing the technology from one company meant the installation of the various components was straightforward and enabled the control system to be replicated at two further facilities.
  • Overcoming transfer and space constraints Overcoming transfer and space constraints
    A Danish company was having trouble transferring water-based ink onto print rollers. A gentler solution was needed which would ensure the ink was bubble-free. The installation of five peristaltic pumps proved successful in overcoming space constraints and reducing the risk of downtime associated with cross contamination and spillage.
