Colfax Fluid Handling attends SABIC Technical Innovation Conference
The team from Colfax Fluid Handling partnered with our Saudi Arabia distributor, Kanoo, and exhibited at the 2012 SABIC Technical and Innovation conference. The show was a success and we thank the organizers and our partner, Kanoo, for their support and effort. This show was particularly important for Colfax Fluid Handling as it marked the introduction of our facility in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. This facility aims to manufacture API 614 lubrication systems in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
During the show, we were able to discuss various applications and opportunities with visitors including:
- Warren and Houttuin branded pumps for tank farm and port tank terminal business units for export, shipping, loading/unloading pump applications for a range of end user liquid products
- Zenith branded injection pumps/systems for high pressure liquid catalyst injection for the reactors in a polymer processing plants
- IMO & Allweiler branded 3 screw pumps for handling shear sensitive Polyols and liquid styrene used for the manufacture of Polyurethanes
- Warren & Houttuin branded 2-screw pumps used in the Carbon Black plants (for Elastomers & Rubber manufacturing) for anti-foulant charge pumps, binder (aqueous lignosulfonate solution) transfer pumps and Coal tar feed pumps all involving the injection and transfer of viscous and challenging process liquids for critical petrochemical plant applications.

Colfax Fluid Handling at Power Gen
The Power Gen International is one of Colfax Fluid Handling's most important annual shows. At this show, we're able to connect with multiple customers - both current and prospective as well as tell the world about some of the good things that we're doing under the Colfax umbrella. We've found this show to be a prosperous venue for connecting with EPC (Engineering and Procurement Companies), Power Plant operators and Rotating Equipment suppliers.
This show also marks the first time that Howden and Colfax Fluid Handling have exhibited under the Colfax umbrella. We're fortunate to work with Howden as they have many positive and longstanding relationships within the Power market. Here are some photos -

BioMass and Process Technology
Colfax Fluid Handling published an article in BioMass Products and Technology entitled, "Choosing a pump". Here are a few excerpts:
"When evaluating pumps for biomass applications, we recommend approaching pump selection from a holistic viewpoint. Several different types of pumps, including positive displacement and centrifugal, can be used in the process as the materials are broken down and converted. Ideally, a pump supplier should be chosen on its ability to offer products that match the specification requirements, as well as knowledge of how the pump interacts with the system and materials."
"The physical properties of the material and aggressiveness through the system also have a significant impact on the pump. Pump materials and coatings, shaft seals and the operating point should be specifically adapted to the pump and system. Be sure to communicate the material and system properties to potential pump suppliers."
We look forward to your comments and hope you enjoy the article!
Colfax Launches Industry Focused Blogs
Joe Niemann
Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and blogs are becoming more prevalent in both our personal and business lives. After discussing this phenomenon internally and with our customers we decided that posting timely blogs about industry issues that our products and services can impact was an idea worth trying. Therefore, on a regular basis Sean McCandless, our power generation market manager and Jon Berggren, our commercial marine market manager will provide their perspective via the Colfax blog. Our goal is to educate and to create debate among our web audience. The first blog post is for the Power Generation market. I hope that you enjoy and that you share your perspective with others in our industry through the blog.
