NewSkin final events series 2024 – EDS NewSkin OITB webinar: Advanced materials, coatings and textures for efficient pumping systems
16:00 - 17:50 CET Tuesday November 19th 2024
Hosted by the European Desalination Society in association with NewSkin OITB partners
REGISTER NOW

Summary: 
Advanced surfaces and materials enable design of enhanced components for more efficient pumping systems. Textures and coatings result in friction lose reductions – up to 60% in dynamic components (pistons, shaft and bearings) and seals. Other functional surfaces, such as shark skin, result in reduced transport losses of fluids (15%), cavitation avoidance and pumping systems efficiency increases (up to 5%). Finally, graphene enabled oils have demonstrated improved pumping systems efficiency over 20%. All these technologies are available through NewSkin OITB. 

Main target(s): main pumping systems manufacturers, piping components, desalination plant operators

Agenda: 16:00 - 17:50 CET
  • The role of graphene nano-enabled oils in pumps - Simone Ligi (Graphene XT, NewSkin Facility user)
  • Cavitation - Yan Delauré  (Dublin City University, DCU Water Institute, NewSkin partner).
  • Functional textures and coatings to minimise friction loses in dynamic components - Markus Brase (Leibniz Universität Hannover, NewSkin partner).
  • Engineered shark skin surfaces for more efficient desalination - Mikel Lucas García de Albéniz MSc. (Bionic Surfaces, NewSkin facility user).
  • NewSkin: An Open Innovation Test Bed to accelerate access to advanced surfaces - Carlos del Castillo (NewSkin OITB AISBL, NewSkin partner).
