Applications for PFA-lined butterfly valves, from corrosive media to API pharmaceuticals GEMÜ 490 series lined metal butterfly valves are available with moulded PFA or TFMTM body liners. These linings are achieved using the latest plastic injection moulding machines to form a precise lining locked to the valve body. This is particularly useful

Improving the quality of final effluent discharge continues to be a priority for wastewater treatment upgrades in the UK. However, choosing the right system for each application is challenging, especially where there may be conflicting demands of investment commitments, space considerations and ongoing maintenance requirements.

The energy-saving potential of wastewater treatment plants is often underestimated. Using efficient blower technology to aerate the wastewater can pay for itself after 12 months. 60-80% of the electrical energy consumed is used for ventilation of the aeration tank. Switching to state-of-the-art blower technology with demand-oriented control and regulation technology

Process water is purified and treated water that industries rely on for manufacturing, production, and other industrial operations. For example, when a soft drink manufacturer makes beverages or a pharmaceutical company produces medicines, they need this specially treated water rather than regular tap or utility water. Process water undergoes

Thermal stratification is a natural phenomenon that occurs in bodies of water of any depth, such as lakes and reservoirs, where distinct layers of water with varying temperatures, densities, and oxygen levels form. This stratification can lead to numerous ecological and water quality challenges, affecting aquatic life and overall ecosystem health

Veolia explains what reverse osmosis is, how it works, the benefits, and who uses it Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that utilises a semi-permeable membrane to remove impurities from water. It is a simple, safe and cost-effective method that eliminates a host of contaminants such as dissolved solids, organics, bacteria and

Effective management of fats, oils and grease (FOG) remains a persistent operational challenge across wastewater treatment infrastructure. At the primary treatment stage, where physical separation processes dominate, optimising the removal of floating contaminants can have a measurable impact on downstream performance. At a recent installation

GEMÜ multi-port valves are used when the most varied process requirements and functions need to be united in the smallest of spaces in the pharmaceutical, food and biotechnology industries. GEMÜ's block-and-bleed solutions also make a valuable contribution to process

Ask Yourself: does the water become stagnant or develop odour?; are algae blooms becoming more frequent?; is there little or no surface movement?; has clarity declined over time?. If you answered yes to any of these, aeration is likely required. But the real issue isn’t just installing aeration — it’s specifying the right system for the size

There are several types of water purity available depending on your requirements: Type 1: Ultra pure water for water-sensitive applications such as molecular biology and gas chromatography Type 2+: Pure water for general applications such as electrochemistry and spectrophotometry Type 2: Pure water for less sensitive applications such as histology

In the world of water treatment and aquaculture, diffusers emerge as unsung heroes, orchestrating a delicate ballet beneath the surface. These ingenious devices come in two main varieties – course bubble and fine bubble arrangements – both sharing a common goal of enhancing water quality by transferring precious oxygen from the air to the water, a

Navigating the path to a greener lab: overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities In scientific research, laboratories play a crucial role in driving innovation across sectors like pharmaceuticals, food science and environmental studies. They can come at a steep environmental cost. Labs consume up to 10 times more energy and 4 times more water

Aeration systems are frequently selected based on price or appearance — not the actual requirements of the water body. When this happens, the system may look fine on the surface but fail to deliver meaningful improvement beneath it: Choosing the right Aeration system helps combat odour, dead zones & water quality undersized systems that don’t

Maintaining consistent, high-quality water and steam supply is crucial for ensuring product quality, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency In today's fast-paced pharmaceutical industry, maintaining consistent, high-quality water and steam supply is crucial for ensuring product quality, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency

Battery production has increased in step with the demands of electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Batteries are central to modern technologies and the transition to more sustainable energy systems. Behind every battery cell lies a complex manufacturing process with demanding operating conditions.
