As global demand for freshwater continues to rise, innovative solutions are becoming increasingly important. In the UK, England alone could face a public water supply shortfall of up to 5 billion litres per day by 2055. Meeting this challenge will require a broader and more resilient mix of water resources. Desalination, water recycling and demand […]
A major upgrade of Yarra Valley Water’s Healesville Sewage Treatment Plant is now under way, helping to ensure continued reliable sewer services for thousands of local residents and businesses while improving the health of the Yarra River. After nearly 40 years of service, the existing treatment plant is being replaced with a modern facility designed […]
By Divyanshu Shrivastava, global product manager, Armstrong Fluid Technology — Industrial While steel plants were historically designed to maximise production capacity under predictable operating conditions, producers today must respond more quickly to shifting customer demand, with greater flexibility, efficiency and control. Designing solely for maximum capacity is therefore no longer sufficient; plants must instead be […]
