In April 2021,Xylem Inc. collaborated with ESRI, a global leader in location information. The two corporations will provide utilities throughout the world. These two organizations will collaborate on technological roadmaps, solution development, marketing, and sales.
In November 2020,Sulzer received a contract from Ringkobing- Skjern Fosyning A/S (Danish Water Utility Firm) to supply pumps for Denmark's main flood defense project. To address rising water levels caused by rain, drainage, and cloudbursts, the firm built two new pumping stations. The business will supply one XFB baseload pump and three VUPX peak load pumps to the Ringkobing pumping station.
In May 2021, Xylem Inc. announced a partnership with ESRI, the first location intelligence company. The two companies will serve utilities around the world. These two companies will pursue joint technical road mapping, solution development, joint marketing and collaborative efforts to sell.
In March 2022, Flowserve made a strategic partnership with Gradiant to grow its presence in the Water Technology Market. Nalco's program, in partnership with Gradiant, corresponds to Flowserve's products and is based on disciplined workflow. Red Raven's new partners have realized the potentially global nature of water scarcity. Management of Water has been feminist looking at and advocating solutions by Gradiant. Flowserve also keeps extending its water business with constantly expanding flow control products and other solutions for the water market.
Recent additions include the submersible pump H2O+, highly effective pumps for desalination, and Red Raven Internet of things plus Red Raven, integration of mobile and social media, also Joint management.
In November 2021, the Third Generation REDA HPS multistage centrifugal pump has a modular design that provides cost-effective solutions for a wide variety of applications ranging from water injection to simple refining and crude oil transfer. It is a better choice than split case, vertical turbine as well as positive displacement pumps. Modular construction and alignment at the factory make restarting the pump a straightforward task. The third-generation REDA HPS surface pump does not need any day-to-day maintenance.
Equipment with stable performance and low vibration not only lengthens the service life of the equipment but also considerably minimizes the risk of any leakages from the associated piping.
By the end of April 2021, Impeller upgraded progress in terms of vibration and operational performance has been achieved for ten amine pumps in Malaysia. A gas-sweetening plant in Malaysia had been using 10 Baker Hughes 8x15 BF, two-stage BB1 amine pumps. Over the past few years, the pumps have been subjected to intermittent, excessive vibrations causing wear of the impellers, i.e., cavitation at the inlet suction side of the impeller and disk brakes at the outlet side of the impeller.
Vibration reduction reached about 75% (no contact value) and 80% (velocity value) with Baker Hughes operations, and hydraulic forces were decreased, which increased equipment's reliability and decreased maintenance costs in the future.
