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.

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. Valves and sensors designed specifically for the demands of electrolysis are vital to optimise efficiency, and they also have a critical role in ensuring system safety.

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.
7th May 2026
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.
