With its Omega, KSB is launching a new generation of its Omega water pump on the market. The axially split volute casing pumps are designed for handling water as well as fluids with a low solids content.

The oil and gas industry places extreme demands on pumps: in subsea oil production, powerful water-injection pumps are indispensable. But how well do we understand the flow processes inside the units? A pump specialist relies on piezoelectric pressure sensors to gain insight.

Claimed to be one of the world’s largest industrial heat pumps for CO2-free steam generation, BASF’s industrial heat pump at the Ludwigshafen site in Germany is expected to produce up to 500,000 tons of CO2-free steam per year. With a thermal output of around 50 MWs, the mega heat pump has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions at the site by up to 100,000 tons per year.

Hamilton’s PSD Smartsense Pump combines advanced sensor technology with tailored configuration possibilities to deliver precise performance and process control across various industries such as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and environmental testing.

Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group has launched MSPP 210, a new multistage process pump designed to enhance safety and reduce downtime on air separation equipment.

GEA has joined the European Union’s ‘Exquisheat’ project with an aim to advance heat pump solutions for decarbonization specifically for the food and beverage industry in the region.

Corrosion, broken springs, and unstable operating conditions: A centrifugal pump has repeatedly failed at a chemical production facility at Dow Chemical. It was only the targeted use of sensors on the mechanical seal and structured data analysis that finally brought clarity — and ensured that the pump and production were running stably again.

Most industrial facilities still treat cooling and heating as siloed, disconnected systems. This outdated mindset results in wasted energy, high emissions, and unnecessary costs. By shifting to a unified thermal management approach, in which heat and cold are part of the same thermal energy ecosystem, industries can unlock major gains in efficiency, sustainability and performance.

PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of April 2025’ from all over the world. Right from Piller partnering with GIG Karasek for the world’s most powerful heat pump system to Indian Oil Corporation developing a mega petrochemical complex at Paradip, India, find out all the projects making headlines here.

Edwards’ vacuum pumps help support heat pipe cooling solutions that not only keeps systems operating safely but also helps reduce energy consumption and dependence on traditional cooling infrastructure.
