RWE has secured contracts for three proposed German gas-fired stations. The hydrogen-compatible projects total about 2.1GW of tender-recognised capacity and are designed to supply electricity when wind and solar output is insufficient.
-
Fluke has introduced two compact acoustic imagers for industrial maintenance. The ii1050 and ii1030 use 202 microphones, a 13MP camera and on-device reporting to help locate leaks and investigate electrical and mechanical faults.
-
Milwaukee Cylinder has introduced an active hydraulic rod protection system. The Active Barrier Chamber combines controlled fluid flushing with secondary wiping to limit contamination reaching cylinder seals in abrasive environments.
-
Doosan has secured production work for NuScale modular reactor assemblies. Its Changwon facility will manufacture the first upper reactor coolant system assembly, advancing a manufacturing partnership established in 2019.
-
FuelTech has developed new gas controls for marine LNG engines. The Mk V valve train addresses the 380-bar ME-GI 10.7 platform with revised internal flow passages and improved servicing access, while initial commercial deliveries are expected from the third quarter of 2027.
-
LUT researchers have demonstrated thousand-volt alkaline electrolysis in laboratory tests. The series-connected arrangement combines ABB power electronics and Stargate Hydrogen equipment, with further research directed at electrical losses and the cost of industrial scale-up.
-
IMDEA combines magnesium additive manufacturing with protective ceramic surface treatments. Researchers compared two alloys for biodegradable implants and reported substantially improved corrosion resistance after plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings.
-
KION reports higher sales despite uneven industrial equipment demand conditions. Warehouse automation revenue rose 16.9% over nine months while industrial truck orders and cash flow came under pressure.
-
GKN secures aerospace process accreditation for laser wire deposition technology. Independent Nadcap assessment covers manufacturing controls and traceability, supporting future wider use of additively manufactured components in aerospace and defence.
-
Rolls-Royce outlines ten-year cooperation on next-generation UK engine technology plans. The proposed £2.5bn programme would develop propulsion technology for narrowbody passenger aircraft and defence applications, subject to future contracts, approvals and funding decisions.
