industrial news
In brief water treatment expansion at Indian refinery As part of an expansion programme of a refinery owned by the Indian Oil Corp Ltd (IOCL) in Mathura, India, VA Tech Wabag has received an order to enlarge the capacity of the refinery's demineralisation plant by 150 m³/h. The contract value for the project that should be finalised within 14 months is 2.1 million (US$2.4 million). The plant is being installed in a new building located adjacent to the existing treatment units and employs state-of-the-art reverse osmosis (RO) pre-treatment followed by ion exchange units for the production of ultra-pure boiler feed water. A stand alone condensate polishing unit with a capacity of 100 m³/h will also be supplied.

Ford installs Donaldson's engine air filtration technology Donaldson Co Inc has begun shipping its PowerCore™ filtration technology to Visteon® for use in the new Ford® F-Series Super-Duty trucks. According to Donaldson, the PowerCore technology, which was introduced in 2001 and was first used in off-road equipment and heavy-duty truck air intake applications, is an alternative to larger, conventional air filter systems. "The PowerCore high-density filter media package, smaller size and straight-through air flow design gives Ford Motor Co unbeatable filtration for the increased horsepower of its new F-Series truck," said Marty Barris, director of air filtration at Donaldson. Compared to other filtration technologies, PowerCore is noticeably different in shape, colour and style. Available in round and racetrack shapes, its compact, metal-free, cartridge-style design traps contaminants inside the structure for easier and cleaner servicing. The PowerCore straight-through air flow and high density filtration system reduce system restriction and extends filter life, and therefore lowers overall maintenance costs.
