Amarinth welcomes Austrian Helmut Benigni, a leading engineer in the field of optimising pump performance, to work alongside the company on its high profile Carbon Trust project to develop a high efficiency centrifugal pump.
Dipl. Ing., Dr.techn. Helmut Benigni has been seconded from the Institute of Hydraulic Fluid Machinery at Graz University of Technology, Austria, to the Process Engineering Group in the School of Engineering at Cranfield University. He brings an in-depth expertise in pumps and hydro-turbines gained during his ten years at Graz University of Technology where he worked on many forms of roto-dynamic pumps. His projects have included paper stock and process pumps through to 750MW pumped storage units for hydro-electricity schemes.
Whilst in the UK, Dr Benigni will work with forward-thinking pump and process engineers on a variety of projects and issues that currently either impede or degrade optimum pump performance. His main focus however, will be working with Amarinth on the Carbon Trust project the company initiated in 2009 to develop a new process for manufacturing impellers optimised for best efficiency point to better match the pumps to the customer’s duty point.
Dr Benigni will be applying his methods and experience in Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) working alongside Amarinth engineers developing practical design methods for maintaining stable characteristic curves in a modular range of high operating efficiency, low NPSH pumps.
Oliver Brigginshaw, Managing Director of Amarinth commented: “We are delighted to welcome Dr Benigni to the UK and look forward to working with him and sharing expertise as we move towards our project aim of significantly reducing the carbon footprint of pumps.”
