Pumps of the Future Series: Built for What’s Coming

Prime Fluid Management is committed to being at the forefront of pump innovation in New Zealand. In this series we’ll share the fuel technologies our key suppliers are exploring to prepare for the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

Each week for the next eight weeks we’ll look at key suppliers and their real-word investment in new fuel-cell technology.

First up, we’ll explore how Dutch mobile pump supplier BBA Pumps are hedging their bets on future energy sources. Starting next week, you’ll learn about their advancements in high-performance electrification, hydrogen, methanol, and self-sustaining energy sources.

Electrification

The global shift towards electrification is already well underway and prime fluid management are already well-known for bringing in BBA’s electric and hybrid electric pump technology. Until now electrification has come with compromise on performance. We’ll explore how we are already well down the track with electric, battery electric and fuel cells.

Methanol

With cleaner combustion and better energy density than hydrogen, methanol-powered pumps offer a practical step towards carbon neutrality. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at how new designing pump systems are to be ready for this emerging fuel source

Hydrogen

Hydrogen presents a zero-emission solution with significant long-term potential. BBA Pumps is already testing hydrogen-powered pumps for field use, technology that could revolutionize off-grid pumping and change the way we think about energy.

Energy from Your Own Water Source

One of the most intriguing developments in fuel technology - pumps that generate power from the water they move. Imagine remote or off-grid sites where the pump itself becomes part of the power solution. We are turning this concept into a reality and is well-advanced in making energy recovery from water flow a viable option.

Stay Tuned

Next week, we’ll take a closer look at electrification and how our electric pump systems are already making waves in the field.
