Natural gas for North Rhine-Westphalia ‒ safe and economical: Largest odorizing system in Germany
The system odorizes up to 1 million cubic meters of natural gas per hour. An additional, identical system is to be installed yet this year.
Thyssengas GmbH transports up to 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually using an underground transport system that is 4,200 kilometers long. The Ochtrup location is the turnstile for the distribution of natural gas in Northwestern Germany. That is where natural gas is fed from the North Sea into the high-pressure gas pipeline, which is a subnetwork of Thyssengas that is crucial for supplying the Westphalia and Ruhr regions of Germany.

Pre-announcement for GAT show from November 8 to November 10 2016 in Essen, Germany
The mobile after-sales service makes it possible to eliminate 80 to 90 percent of faults on odorizing systems from Lewa without delay
The technically complex systems used for odorizing gas have to meter extremely small amounts of the strong-smelling odorant with the highest level of precision and cleanliness. The team of technicians from Lewa are on the road throughout Europe with a total of three service vehicles, two VW buses and a slightly larger VW Crafter, making sure that the odorizing systems are working properly and that standstill times are minimized.
These vehicles are each...

LEWA mountain bike tour through the northern Black Forest
This year, 16 participants met for a 80 km long training tour through the northern Black Forest.
The team started at Pforzheim's Wanderparkplatz Julius Naeher. The tour led from there along the Enztal and Grösseltal to Castle Neuenbürg. Further along the Enz river the cyclists turned into the Eyachtal, which is known for its idyllic landscape with brook trout fish farming. After this stage the team cycled to the summer mountain (Bad Wildbad) to the Grünhütte. After a short rest "pancakes were just too tempting for many" it continued over the Wildsee, a unique high moor, to...

CERN relies on LEWA: Tracking down the origins of the universe
Diaphragm metering pumps provide a constant, oil-free flow of CO2 for cooling silicon sensors at the CERN research center for particle physics
The remote-head design prevents the fluid from absorbing the heat produced by the pump motor and gearbox.
With approximately 9600 magnets and a circumference of 26,659 km, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest and most sophisticated accelerator operated by the famous CERN research institute, so far. When the LHC started operations, it marked a turning point in the field of particle physics, as it may help unlock answers to fundamental...

Corrosion protection for pumps: LEWA uses Frosio certified coating inspectors
The requirements for corrosion protection are constantly increasing. For this reason, paint specifications according to NORSOK (Frosio, Nace) from customers in the oil & gas, refining and chemicals are becoming more extensive and stringent. Highly qualified staff to carry out the inspection work is therefore very important. LEWA responds to these requirements and has had three employees to eligible Frosio inspectors trained.
Frosio is known worldwide as Norwegian Advisory Board for training and certification of coating inspectors. The Frosio certification is an important step to obtain an...

Minimum life cycle costs: Innovative metering pump with diaphragm monitoring helps to prevent production losses
Hermetically sealed pump head is suitable for any type of chemicals
Operators have to meet strict safety and environmental regulations and at the same time ensure that the requirements of the corresponding processes are met when metering chemicals. This includes a high metering accuracy as well as the possibility of a customized configuration and highest possible flexibility in use. Since the expenses for unexpected operation downtimes make up on average 70 percent of the life cycle costs of a pump, it is important to make sure during the selection process that the pump is built reliably and...

Ecodos diaphragm metering pump: Economical and safe solution for pumping fluid in the low-pressure range
In many industries, metering tasks take place in the low-pressure range of < 20 bar. Using a high-pressure pump for this purpose is usually not economical. At this year's Hannover Messe, Lewa GmbH is presenting a cutaway model of the Ecodos diaphragm metering pump, which clearly illustrates the operating principle of the low-pressure pump. The distinguishing feature is that the Ecodos diaphragm is mechanically driven,rather than hydraulically driven. Lewas pump installation...
