Beverage Processing
Beverage production moves liquid from raw ingredient to sealed pack without losing quality or hygiene. Pumps, valves, flow meters, level sensors, heat exchangers, filters and CIP systems handle water, wort, juice, syrup, beer, dairy and carbonated product, under food-grade design, gentle product handling and cleaning requirements that shape the whole line.

Biogas Processing
Biogas plants turn manure, sludge and organic waste into methane, and fluid handling keeps that process running. Pumps, valves, level sensors, flow meters and mixers move slurries, digestate and raw gas that are abrasive, fibrous and corrosive by nature, while digester temperature, pressure and gas quality have to stay within a narrow band day after day.

Biopharmaceutical Processing
Biopharmaceutical production grows medicine from living cells, so every litre that moves through the plant has to stay sterile. Single-use assemblies, diaphragm valves, peristaltic and lobe pumps, mass flow meters and filtration skids handle buffers, media, harvest streams and purified product, under validation, traceability and cleanability rules that decide which equipment is even allowed on site.

Data Centers & Liquid Cooling
Data centers have become one of the most demanding cooling applications in industry. As AI and high-performance computing push rack densities up, air alone can no longer remove the heat, and liquid cooling moves into the white space. Pumps, valves, quick connectors, heat exchangers, flow meters and water treatment determine how reliably coolant reaches every chip, rack and cooling tower.

Food Processing
Food processing depends on fluid handling technology to move, measure and control liquid and viscous products without compromising hygiene or product quality. Pumps, valves, flow meters, level sensors, heat exchangers and filtration systems handle everything from milk, chocolate and edible oils to sauces, starches and plant-based proteins — under strict food-grade, CIP and hygienic design requirements that shape every equipment choice.

Gas Processing
Natural gas processing separates raw gas into clean methane and valuable liquids, and fluid handling technology runs every step. Compressors, pumps, control valves, flow meters and analysers handle separation, dehydration, sweetening and fractionation of gas, condensate and glycol, under pressure, purity and leak-tightness requirements that also decide how much methane escapes to the atmosphere.

Hydrogen Processing
Hydrogen and green fuels are moving from pilot projects to industrial scale, and fluid handling technology decides how safely and efficiently that happens. Electrolysers, compressors, pumps, valves, flow meters and heat exchangers handle water feed, potassium hydroxide, cooling circuits and high-purity hydrogen — alongside ammonia, methanol and other hydrogen carriers — under demanding pressure, purity and leak-tightness requirements.

Liquid Chemicals Processing
Chemical plants handle liquids that are corrosive, toxic, flammable or all three, which makes containment the first design requirement. Magnetic drive and canned motor pumps, lined valves, mass flow meters, level instruments and sealing systems move acids, solvents, polymers and specialty chemicals, under emission limits, material compatibility rules and safety cases that shape every selection.

Marine & Offshore
Marine and offshore operations put fluid handling equipment under conditions found nowhere else: constant motion, salt water, limited space and no maintenance workshop within reach. Ballast and bilge systems, fuel transfer, cargo pumping, cooling circuits, offshore production and subsea processing all depend on pumps, valves, flow meters and seals that keep working between dry dockings.

Oil Processing
From wellhead to refinery, oil processing moves crude, condensate, produced water and refined products under high pressure, high temperature and strict safety rules. Pumps, control valves, custody transfer meters, separators and analysers handle separation, dehydration, desalting and blending, while operators balance throughput and uptime against emissions, flaring and the cost of unplanned shutdowns.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical manufacturing turns liquids into dosed, sterile and documented product, and the equipment that touches those liquids is part of the quality system. Hygienic pumps, diaphragm valves, mass flow meters, filtration and CIP and SIP systems handle solvents, active ingredients, buffers and water for injection, under cleanability, material and validation requirements that leave little room for improvisation.

Power Generation
Power plants live on fluids. Feedwater, condensate, steam, cooling water, lubricants and fuel all have to be moved, measured and controlled with high availability, from boiler and turbine circuits to cooling towers and emissions control. Pumps, control valves, flow and level instruments and heat exchangers decide plant efficiency, and increasingly how well a plant follows a fluctuating grid.

Wastewater Processing
Wastewater treatment is fluid handling at its most demanding: abrasive, corrosive and full of solids. Pumps, valves, screens, blowers, level sensors and flow meters move influent, sludge and return streams through screening, aeration and dewatering, while operators push for lower energy use, less clogging and more recovery of water, nutrients and biogas.

Water Processing
Drinking water and process water reach users through a chain of pumps, valves, meters and filters that has to work without interruption. Fluid handling technology moves raw water, doses coagulants and disinfectants, measures flow and level across the network and keeps pressure stable, while leakage, energy use and water quality are all under growing scrutiny.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a market on Fluid Handling Pro?
A market is an industry — food, beverage, pharma, oil and gas, water and so on — with its own page bundling the latest news, case studies and newsletter editions on fluid handling in that industry.
How is a market different from a Technology Zone?
A Technology Zone covers a technology — pumps, valves, flow measurement, level control — that applies across industries. A market covers one industry and everything it needs across those technologies. The same equipment often appears in several markets, and the same market draws on several zones.
How do I find equipment manufacturers for a specific industry?
Browse the Manufacturers Directory A–Z, or check the Equipment Guide for the equipment type you need — most categories list their manufacturers directly.
How often is new content added to a market?
New articles, case studies and newsletter editions are added continuously; the E-Product & Market Insights calendar also lists upcoming editions per market.
