  • Repairing corrosion at a power station
    A coal-fired generating station in Arizona required extensive repairs and upgrades. Chemical attack and the subsequent corrosion had to be tackled to prevent a repeat of a catastrophic failure experienced in 1999. The problem was remedied by repairing the effected systems and components and providing a coating to prevent further corrosion.
  • Makeover for old drainage pumps
    Three 70 year old drainage pumps were unable to cope when flooding occurred at a UK power station in 2007. After complete replacement proved impossible due to the age of the pumps. AxFlow engineers examined the system and decided to fit a range of vital bearing and impeller parts which brought the vintage pumps back to required efficiency.
  • Skid based package doubles flow rates
    The external screens of a European battery breaking and recycling plant were regularly becoming blocked. The mounting downtime led the company to explore other options in high pressure pumping. A ready-to-use skid based package proved able to match the challenging environment, and exceed expectations in terms of pressure and flow.
  • Submerged vertical safety concept
    The damaged pipe at a Swedish unloading terminal led to the creation of a special design for molten sulphur tanks. This required a 17 m long vertical pump that had to be lowered in from the top to avoid tapping the tank at the bottom. VDMA's Stephan Näckel and Per Karlsson describe this technical development.
