New chemical process pumps feature two impeller-design options for expanded flexibility

Source: Goulds Pumps

The new ICi chemical process pump is engineered to provide expanded hydraulic coverage, configuration flexibility and enhanced durability. Building upon this company's IC pump range, the new ICi series has 54 pump size varieties, coverage hydraulic capacities up to 1,600 m³/h, nearly four times existing IC models. Both closed and semi-open impeller design options are available. The semi-open design includes a replaceable wear plate design, which is new to the brand’s IC process portfolio. The new release comes in response to customers’ need for more flexibility in pump offerings across industrial applications like oil and gas, chemical processing and water/wastewater management. Accurate pump sizing minimizes wear, reduces maintenance requirements and extends equipment life, ensuring reliable operation even in the most challenging conditions. — Goulds Pumps, an ITT Company, Seneca Falls, N.Y.

This company has announced the release of a newly engineered design for the OG3 and OG4 oval-gear flowmeter models. While delivering enhanced performance for hygienic processing applications, these models still maintain the original dimensions of the previous oval gear products to allow interchangeability within customers’ existing systems. Designed for use in industries where cleanliness, accuracy and reliability are critical, the new OG3 and OG4 flowmeters feature an electropolished stainless-steel finish that provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface suitable for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, cosmetics and personal care manufacturing environments. A key advancement in the redesign is the transition from a cast body construction to a fully machined, engineered design. The precision-machined construction not only enhances mechanical strength but also supports the high levels of measurement accuracy and repeatability for which Titan’s oval gear flowmeters are recognized. The new OG flowmeter design with Hall effect detection, also benefits from an upgraded circuit board with added protection from mis-wiring or electrical surges, as well as offering both NPN and PNP outputs as standard (up to 100°C max). The OG3 and OG4 flowmeters provide precise volumetric measurement of liquids across a wide viscosity range. Their robust construction and compact footprint make them suitable for both OEM integration and end-user installations where dependable flow measurement is essential.— Titan Enterprises, Ltd., Sherborne, U.K.

Modeling technology for early-stage pharmaceutical water system design

PharmaWater Pro® is a modeling platform (part of this company's consulting services) for pharmaceutical manufacturers planning new facilities or evaluating upgrades to existing water purification infrastructure. Pharmaceutical manufacturing plants depend on highly engineered systems to produce purified water (PW), water for injection (WFI), and pure steam. These systems represent a significant share of a facility’s utilities demand and can influence long term operating costs, maintenance requirements, and environmental performance. Yet key technology decisions are often made early in project development when limited information is available. PharmaWater Pro® is engineered to help address this challenge. The engineering platform can model pharmaceutical water systems at the conceptual stage, providing insight into how different technology choices affect utilities, sustainability metrics, and long-term operating performance before capital investments are made. The platform models systems from city water feed through purification, storage, and distribution to the point of use, enabling engineers to evaluate the full infrastructure rather than individual components in isolation. Using PharmaWater Pro®, engineers can size and configure water purification equipment, compare alternative technologies and estimate key operational parameters, including energy consumption, water usage, wastewater generation, carbon emissions, capital costs and operating costs.

The platform supports two primary evaluation approaches. In design mode, engineers generate conceptual configurations for new facilities, providing preliminary equipment sizing and utility requirements that can inform facility planning and layout development. In rating mode, the platform analyzes existing systems or vendor proposals by modeling actual equipment selections, allowing project teams to compare performance across different technologies or suppliers. This type of early modeling can reveal lifecycle considerations that may otherwise be overlooked during initial project planning. Different purification technologies, such as multi effect stills, vapor compression systems, and membrane-based processes, have distinct energy requirements, maintenance profiles, and service life expectations. Understanding these differences early can help engineering teams balance sustainability objectives, operational reliability and long-term costs. — Genesis AEC, Blue Bell, Pa.

An integrated battery-manufacturing platform for dry-electrode and solid-state technologies

Source: IPCO

Following the 2025 acquisition of New Era, this company now offers a complete, continuous battery-manufacturing solution that combines web handling, coating, calendering and double-belt pressing in a single scalable workflow. The integrated approach addresses one of the battery industry's key challenges: connecting multiple process steps into a seamless, high-throughput production line. Electrode materials can be prepared and processed continuously before entering this company's double-belt press systems, where precisely controlled pressure and temperature are applied to densify, consolidate and laminate multi-layer electrode structures. The result is a comprehensive manufacturing platform for both dry-electrode and solid-state battery production, where strong interlayer bonding, effective densification and consistent product quality are essential to achieving reliable cell performance at scale. — IPCO AB, Sandviken, Sweden

The Autosorb 3300 system introduces a new generation of flow chemisorption analysis designed to make advanced catalyst characterization more accessible, reproducible and efficient. Autosorb supports key chemisorption techniques used in catalyst research, development and quality control, including temperature-programmed reactions, pulse titration and active surface-area analysis. Its high-temperature furnace reaches up to 1,200 °C with heating rates of up to 100°C per minute, enabling demanding catalyst studies while maintaining safe-touch operation through integrated cooling. Automated sample loading and sealing, programmable gas blending and software-controlled selection of pre-calibrated injection loops help laboratories achieve consistent results with fewer manual steps. This is particularly valuable in industrial environments where reproducibility, throughput, and user-independent workflows are critical. For chemical producers, catalyst developers and research institutions, Autosorb 3300 delivers the performance needed to evaluate catalyst activity, dispersion, active metal area and reaction behavior with confidence. — Anton Paar GmbH, Graz, Austria
