We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pipework",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Water heating system handles large volumes from
Spirax Sarco, which we summarised at the time by saying "A Spirax Sarco EasiHeat Engineered System has eliminated the disruptions that were caused by an unreliable hot water supply".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Batching systems remove colloidal solids from
ProMinent Fluid Controls (UK): "New system offers significant benefits over continuous flow systems for flocculants that are slow to dissolve, or need to be aged for a precise time before use".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Richard Alan Group
concerning its Maintenance services
- take a look at To outsource or not to outsource
which says: "The decision whether to outsource site maintenance is not so difficult says Tony Mackley. Engineering Manager at the Richard Alan Group".
Take a look also at the news release from CAD Schroer, Software eases design of water treatment systems,
as well as Compressors mobilise aircraft maintenance from CompAir UK,
and Custom skid installed for medical application from Richard Alan Group.
