Sykes' range of Xtra high head pumps is suitable for highwall mining applications. With the depth of operations, water management is critical in highwall mining, making pump systems a priority

Waste is the enemy of any process. By identifying and eliminating it, you can transform your company into a leaner and, ultimately, a more profitable organisation

Oil producers filter their products at many stages to ensure that products enter and leave refineries clean, it's a fact of life that further handling, such as using oil drums or transporting by road or rail tanker, will cause further contamination

Avoiding leakage is one of the more significant elements contributing to process safety at any petrochemical or chemical processing plant

On 8 August 2008, the eyes of the world will be on China as the games of the 29th Olympiad begin in Beijing. This historic event will be centred on the visionary new National Stadium, dubbed the 'Bird's Nest'

Glenroy Irrigation Scheme is located 70 km south of Christchurch to irrigate around 1100 Ha of land. Water flows from the Rakaia River into three separate tanks containing three lift pumps to lift the water to the suction of the main pumps

Oil and gas operations are located in unforgiving environments, from the blistering cold of the arctic to the scorching heat of the desert and the storm conditions out on the open sea. To sustain secure operating conditions in these remote areas, reliable communication is vital to the end user.

The decision to implement wireless technology in your industrial facility is a strategic choice, enabling an infrastructure that will provide significant benefits for your company beyond avoiding the wiring costs.

In Part 1 of this article we discussed the findings from the Industrial Security Industry Database, which indicated a significant rise in cyber attacks on SCADA, manufacturing and processing systems.

A multi-industry Australian consortium has released the results of a world-class pilot, called the National EPC Network Demonstrator Project Extension (or NDP Extension)

In a recent report conducted by the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group), it was found that the vast majority of Australian companies want to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, but only 10% say they have the know-how to do it

Davey Water Products has completed the installation of a rainwater capture system using its own Scoresby, Victoria headquarters roof, which has an area of about 2500 m2

Historically, critical infrastructures and manufacturing processes have been monitored and controlled using industrial control and SCADA systems that have operated in isolated environments. These control systems rarely shared information with outside systems, and were typically composed of proprietary hardware and software components designed specifically for control operations.

Being able to integrate continuous, batch and hybrid processing technology into an integrated control system with management, analytic and optimisation capabilities has largely eluded industry to date

Pumps are huge energy users; therefore, small percentages saved in this area can have a significant impact on a company's bottom line profits
