Condition-based maintenance: retrofit solution for older components
12.12.2023
Continuous monitoring of the condition of machines can make operating processes safer and more efficient. Especially for critical components, condition-based or even predictive maintenance is the favoured method nowadays.
Revolutionary sealing technology of the future
28.11.2023
Elastic metal seals are used when the ambient conditions are too extreme for conventional seals. This applies in particular to applications in which hydrogen is used. The currently available elastic metal seals with spring support are increasingly being used in static hydrogen sealing applications.
Interaction between dams and valves
14.11.2023
Industrial valves and dams form a significant symbiosis in the context of contemporary water supply and power generation. Smooth coordination between these two elements is essential to effectively use water resources while ensuring safety and control over these vital resources.
The European Hydrogen Bank from the perspective of the German process industry
31.10.2023
The first auction of the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) will take place on 23 November 2023. The conditions for participation were already announced on 29 August by the Climate Division of the European Commission.
Moving into a green future thanks to modern positioners
16.10.2023
The introduction of sustainable processes as well as the reduction of environmental impact are important challenges that the process industry has to meet.
PFAS substance group soon history?
09.10.2023
Per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) are a group of more than 10,000 synthetic compounds that are used in commercial products as well as in various industrial applications due to their water-, grease- and dirt-repellent properties.
Effects of the shortage of skilled workers on the industrial valves sector
20.09.2023
The current political, social, and geopolitical situation - war in Ukraine, environmental protection, and economic competition with China - poses numerous challenges for Germany. The issue of skilled workers is of major importance because the location needs skilled workers for functioning industries and recovery.
Five regional hydrogen clusters you should know
23.09.2024
Regional H2 clusters play a key role in building the hydrogen economy in Germany. They promote industrial transformation, strengthen the resilience of the energy system, and create local added value. For manufacturers of h2-ready industrial valves, seals, and fittings, these clusters offer great opportunities.
Modern electric actuators: retrofitting ensures the future viability of systems
18.02.2025
Regardless of the area of application - be it in sewage treatment plants, power plants or tank farms - the time often comes for modernization after many years of use of the operating components. By upgrading with intelligent electric actuators, even older systems can be successfully transferred to the digital era.
Efficient maintenance of power plant components - Innovative temperature monitoring without intervention
04.08.2025
Pressurized components in power plants are exposed to considerable stress due to frequent load changes and strong temperature fluctuations. TÜV SÜD has developed a new temperature monitoring method to detect damage at an early stage and to design maintenance plans in line with requirements - without any intervention in the components.
