Stop the steam: Bürkert’s flow control system reduces energy costs at aerospace plant

At a specialist aerospace equipment manufacturer in Portsmouth, an initiative to reduce energy costs identified steam energy usage that could be optimised. Dart Aerospace involved Bürkert’s engineering team to develop a system that could automatically close steam flow during non-operational periods. This custom-developed flow control system was set live in January 2025 and achieved return on investment in a matter of months.

Paul Hobden, Account Manager at Bürkert UK, reports.

Fast and precise chlorine detection protects Veolia’s RO membranes a year on from commissioning

Rapid and accurate detection of chlorine is vital to protect a reverse osmosis (RO) system. While reagent-based approaches can be costly and impractical to manage, traditional amperometric chlorine electrodes don’t respond fast enough when the most precise detection is required. Now, in a breakthrough study with Bürkert, Veolia Water Technologies Ireland can protect its RO system from trace levels of chlorine, as well as achieving and maintaining zero-chlorine conditions downstream, thanks to its new Online Water Analysis System.

Greg Wainhouse, Bürkert’s Regional Business Development Manager for Industrial Water, North Europe, explains.

The microgrid that uses and stores renewable energy

A new design of mobile power generator can run off renewable energy and also store excess energy for use later. Relying on hydrogen fuel cell technology to supplement the supply, Elemental Energy’s H₂IPO™ system can provide power, 24/7. Designing a system like this demands reliability, so alongside a hydrogen fuel cell from Toyota, Elemental Energy has partnered with Bürkert to play a key role in hydrogen flow management.

ICB Distillers set to reduce production costs with contact-free flow meter

Drinks producer ICB Distillers wanted to reduce production costs while maintaining hygiene and product quality. Introducing Bürkert’s FLOWave flowmeter to provide accurate measurement without media contact, ICB Distillers has been able to minimise product wastage as well as decrease the volume of water required to flush its CIP process.

Gas control system for aseptic spray dryer

Spray drying technology offers the pharmaceutical industry a continuous process to convert a liquid active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) into a powder, as an alternative to freeze drying. The process has been used in other manufacturing processes for several years and is gaining traction in the pharmaceutical industry. In 2015, Nova Laboratories Ltd received FDA and EMA approval for the aseptic manufacture of a spray dried pharmaceutical product. The company has worked with Bürkert to develop more of its own spray drying equipment, which will be used to support customers in delivering powdered products aseptically.
