RATP* and Verlinde: a robust partnership!
The millions of passengers who use the Parisian and suburban public transport system daily will tell you that electricity is the driving force behind the system, but nearly everyone is unaware of the technical challenge of ensuring the continued supply of power to the network 24 hours a day, every day of the year. According to RATP* records there has never been a general power cut in the Paris Metro. The large 1960's RATP*building houses one of four high voltage stations that, through a network system with seven other stations, provides the electrical power not only for the Metro, RER and tram systems but also for RATP*offices and workshops. As one of RATP's basic rules is to provide a secure energy supply, two EDF supplies of 63,000 V are fed to the High Voltage circuit breakers at the Lamarck station. Both inputs supply a transformer to reduce the voltage to 15000V which, after being routed through the rectifiers, supply 1500V DC to feed the RER network and 750V DC for the tram and Metro networks. The two transformers, the circuit breakers and rectifiers have strategic roles to play in running the RER, tram and Metro networks. To back up this power supply system, a 1,500 kW electricity generator is ready to start at any time. This power supply ensures current is fed to safety equipment, escalators and lighting in the event of large-scale power failures. The electricity generator, an important backup power system, must be frequently started up to ensure its serviceability.

De Dietrich Process Systems
PolyAluminium Chloride (PAC): Effective technology for water purification De Dietrich® offers a complete range of advanced and dedicated solutions for PAC Producers South East Asia
Polyaluminium Chloride, usually called PAC, is a fast growing coagulant used in water treatment. PAC is highly-efficient for the treatment of drinking water, swimming pool water, sewage and industrial effluents, as well as for paper processing. PAC offers numerous advantages in comparison to other mineral coagulants, including lower dosage requirement, less flocculent needed, reduction of sludge and sulfate concentration, effective at low temperatures, and a wide range of PH.

RFID - new, compact, and robust UHF read/write head from Pepperl+Fuchs
UHF read/write heads offer a higher range than LF and HF read/write systems, since the UHF technology communicates in the far field using "detached" waves and the LF/HF systems work in the near field. The range can be varied by changing the antenna design and the transmitted power. In addition to the existing F117 UHF antenna with a range of up to 6 m, Pepperl+Fuchs now offer a very compact solution, the new F190 UHF, specifically tailored to applications in production technology and intralogistics where the read distance of the LF and HF systems is not sufficient.

PEPPERL+FUCHS FACTORY AUTOMATION
Small, high-performance sensors for tight spaces
Pushing the limits of physical possibility is the greatest challenge facing technology. In addition to technical excellence, the economic aspect is taking on an increasingly important role. The machine construction market is continuously aiming for more compact, faster machines with higher capacity. Special packaging machines or machines for manufacturing PCBs are being constantly optimized to enhance their overall power density. In addition to mechanical components, electronic components that control the systems must also be consistently adapted. There is an increasing demand for smaller sensors that offer the performance, speed, and precision of larger sensors. In addition to functionality, it should also be possible to integrate these sensors discretely into the machine.

New success for Tata Steel modular platforms
Tata Steel has installed two new modular platform systems in the UK, one at West Drayton Station, and the other at Langley Station. These modular systems provide a cost-efficient, quick way to design and install passenger platforms and can be customised with all types of surfaces and finishes. West Drayton was installed with only a weekend of traffic disruption, and Langley needed no traffic interruption.
