In 2022, more than 30,000 people in the UK were undergoing kidney dialysis. For every one of those patients, water quality is not a background consideration but a frontline safety issue. Dialysis machines rely on large volumes of treated water, and any trace contaminants that remain can pass directly into the bloodstream. Among the most critical of these contaminants is chlorine.

Sustainability is about much more than just reducing carbon emissions. It also entails a sense of responsibility for social and environmental matters, something that has always been important to the fluidics experts at Bürkert. However, the family-run business believes that previous approaches in this area have not gone far enough in tackling global climate change. Instead, it is taking a more holistic view that is using the regenerative economy concept as an umbrella covering all the actions it is undertaking.

Across a range of medical and laboratory applications, confirmation of liquid flow status is critical, but integrating sensors or electronics to check the performance of functions like valve switching adds design complexity.
19th November 2025
As the use of hydrogen is increasing across the UK’s energy mix, safely controlling its flow is vital to realise its potential as a sustainable alternative. For vehicle refuelling, as well as use across industry, high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure hydrogen flow is vital.

Drinks producer ICB Distillers wanted to reduce production costs while maintaining hygiene and product quality. Introducing Bürkert’s FLOWave flowmeter to provide accurate measurement without media contact, ICB Distillers has been able to minimise product wastage as well as decrease the volume of water required to flush its CIP process.

Precision and accuracy are essential for liquid dosing applications to ensure quality and safety. While these factors are vital at the micro level, macro scale applications, involving litres of product, can also make significant efficiency gains by optimising dosing control. To achieve this, selecting the right valve and measurement technology is vital, with the right level of automation.
