4 November 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Hygienic manufacturing lines creating products such as biologic drugs, vaccines, specialist pharmaceuticals or carbonated beverages are under constant pressure to deliver repeatable quality while maintaining efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Ensuring compliant and efficient water treatment process from the right device data

7 October 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Water utilities face growing pressure to balance environmental compliance with efficiency, yet critical data gaps persist despite increasing digitalisation. While higher-level systems provide visibility, overlooked field-level devices including valves can undermine performance, reliability, and cost control.

Precise dosing valve developed for demanding laboratory and analytical systems

22 September 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Flow control specialist Bürkert has announced the release of a new dosing valve with media separation that offers minimal internal volume, fast switching times and high repeatability to ensure stable processes and reproducible results.

Seamless digital retrofit for pneumatic control valves

25 August 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Bürkert’s SideCONTROL series of electropneumatic positioners and controllers integrate with virtually any pneumatic control valve actuator to provide the advantages of digital communications. SideCONTROL offers fast and simple integration to upgrade analogue pneumatic control valves without the time, cost or complexity of a full digital system transition.

Intelligent sub loops can optimise hygiene for ultra-pure water applications

5 August 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Maintaining hygienic flow conditions in purified water (PW) and water for injection (WFI) sub-loops, a critical challenge is minimising the biofilm risk. Traditional approaches like monitored T-valve systems fail to guarantee consistent conditions, while the geometry of Coriolis flow meters aren’t typically optimised for hygiene.

Efficient electrolysis to optimise hydrogen production: why valve and sensor technology are key

9 July 2026

English (United Kingdom)

As the UK accelerates towards large-scale, low-carbon hydrogen production, electrolysis processes are taking centre stage. This is placing increased demand on energy efficiency to optimise the viability and sustainability of hydrogen yield.

Building small energy savings into sustainability win for data centres

4 June 2026

English (United Kingdom)

As digital infrastructure expands to support AI, cloud computing and continuous connectivity, sustainability is becoming a defining challenge for data centre operators. While significant attention is paid to power-hungry processors and large-scale cooling systems, a quieter source of energy consumption lies in the thousands of small components working continuously in the background.

Reducing fluid control and automation complexity in pharma process development

19 May 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Designing and building pharmaceutical processes or skids demands close coordination between mechanical, electrical and instrumentation, and automation engineering teams. Fragmented design and vendor selection can introduce challenges in integration and validation

Bürkert solves tank pressure drift with sub-200 ms gas control for hygienic applications

7 May 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Flow control specialist Bürkert has released a new system that optimises gas pressure control precision for hygienic processes. Designed for food and beverage producers as well as pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers where product quality and safety are critical, Bürkert’s new Type 8880 system has improved gas pressure control with ten-times faster response. The automatic, integrated pressure control system provides a response time lower than 200 ms (milliseconds).

Cutting valve energy use by up to 80% in data centre cooling

22 April 2026

English (United Kingdom)

In data centres, direct-to-chip liquid cooling relies on fast-acting valves to regulate coolant flow and protect servers from overheating. Yet across server racks operating 24/7, the cumulative energy demand of continuously energised solenoid valves presents cost and sustainability challenges. However, Kick & Drop coil technology offers a solution to this inefficiency by using a high-power ‘kick’ to actuate the valve, followed by a low-energy ‘drop’ to hold position. The design can reduce energy consumption by up to 80%.

Media-separated pressure-relief valve protects components and optimises control

7 April 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Flow control specialist Bürkert has released a new pressure-relief valve that protects sensitive components in fluidic systems against high pressure peaks, and also provides media separation for use with aggressive or sensitive liquids.

Smart sensors safeguarding water quality in food manufacturing

26 March 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Water is one of the most crucial resources in food processing and manufacturing. From ingredient blending and product washing to steam generation and clean-in-place (CIP) systems, consistent water quality underpins both product safety and brand reputation.

Full steam ahead: why training is vital to optimise steam applications

11 March 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Often misunderstood, steam powers a wide range of modern industrial processes, from precision industrial-scale cooking through to electronics manufacturing. Getting steam control right is critical, not just for application performance, but also for efficiency, maintenance, and safety requirements. Specialist training on steam system design and management ensures that engineering teams can optimise their systems and develop tailored solutions.

Chlorine filtration in dialysis – how advanced sensing is raising the bar

24 February 2026

English (United Kingdom)

In 2022, more than 30,000 people in the UK were undergoing kidney dialysis. For every one of those patients, water quality is not a background consideration but a frontline safety issue. Dialysis machines rely on large volumes of treated water, and any trace contaminants that remain can pass directly into the bloodstream. Among the most critical of these contaminants is chlorine.

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

5 February 2026

English (United Kingdom)

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.
