  • High-pressure solution for reverse osmosis applications
    Modern reverse osmosis desalination plants operate with high base load capacity and therefore the mechanical reliability and efficiency of high-pressure membrane feed pumps deserve thorough consideration. Production losses due to mechanical failure or higher energy consumption due to lower hydraulic efficiency can be significant factors in the plant operating costs. Miguel Angel Rivas, product portfolio manager for Sulzer Pumps, discusses the options available.
  • Predictive software reduces guesswork
    The world's largest passenger jet needed to save weight in order to maximize fuel efficiency and payload capacity. A number of challenges steered the engineers towards applying advanced predictive software. Consequently guesswork was reduced, enabling engineers to replace the plane's bulky, all-hydraulic backup circuit with a decentralized fluid-power generation system.
  • On demand district heating cuts costs
    Refurbishing an ageing district heating system in Constanta, Romania using new hot-water recirculation pumps, associated variable speed drives and other controls in a demand-based arrangement, has resulted in an improved supply quality, plus an optimized, energy-efficient operation – all with greater reliability.
  • Pump control system offers energy savings and reduced emissions
    Retroflo’s RPC_2000 pump control system can not only give energy and opeartional savings to the water industry, but also represents a breakthrough in the drive to reduce emissions.
