Storms in South Africa are becoming more severe leading to flooding and swollen rivers especially in the country’s downstream fertile growing regions where it can cause havoc with river pumping and storage dam irrigation systems. Entire pump stations washed away and dam wall collapses are not the least of a farmers’ worries as rising sediment levels in rivers and dams can be equally destructive over the course of a rainy season. As the severity of storms increases so has the

The water challenges facing South Africa, and Africa as a whole, are multifaceted. They stem from aging infrastructure, affecting both potable water distribution and non-potable pipelines. The use of substandard products without local support exacerbates these issues. Because little attention is paid towards maintaining existing infrastructure and following the South African Bureau of Standards, issues surface, such as over-pressurising old systems that are designed for a lim

Steam – simply water in its gaseous form – serves as a vital energy source in numerous industries both in South Africa and globally. At the heart of every steam system is the boiler, where water is converted into steam.However, the real challenge lies not in generating steam but in transporting it from the boiler to its final destination effectively and efficiently. Condensation: The Hidden Culprit Condensation, often steam’s silent adversary, is a major problem in many steam

In today’s precision-driven process industries, the humble valve has evolved. No longer just a passive component in a pipeline, the modern actuated valve has become an intelligent gateway - regulating, controlling, and automating the flow of critical fluids across everything from semiconductor fabs to pharmaceutical plants. At IPS Flow Systems, we’ve seen this transformation first-hand. The growing complexity and regulatory pressure across sectors like healthcare, microelectr

Since water is a LIFE requirement, and our constitution allows for us to receive water as a right, our Governments over the years started providing storage reservoirs that accumulates water for re-distribution amongst people of South Africa. However simple the concept may be, it is a problem application and maintenance intensive. This is so for one reason only; Damage as a result of cavitation; Since one of the basic rules of Mechanics of Fluids states that flow through pipel

A comprehensive pre-feasibility study is underway to enhance the water supply system for the residents of Buffalo City, East London, aimed at improving their water quality. Spearheaded by the Buffalo City Municipality, the project has resulted in a partnership with the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, which is funding the initiative, and South African engineering firm, GIBB, to pool their expertise and resources. A recent workshop brought together various local an

Mining and water are synonymous, though it’s not always a constructive relationship. Water helps reduce dust, cool and wash equipment, and assist in transporting and filtering material dug up from pits and tunnels. Water’s destructive risks However, water is also a destructive presence. Mining activities release groundwater trapped among the soil and rocks. Water on the surface naturally flows towards the depressions created by digging, becoming very critical during heavy rai

The impacts of climate change on South Africa’s fresh water resources are becoming increasingly apparent, and without urgent interventions, new infrastructure models and private participation, the water crisis could exceed already worrying predictions. This is according to water and wastewater treatment industry stakeholders and experts on the advisory board of the upcoming IFAT Africa trade fair. Organised by Messe Muenchen India and Messe München GmbH, IFAT Africa is the on
