Weir Group PLC has agreed to sell its former Weir Pumps site at Cathcart, Glasgow to Clyde Union for £25m. The property has been leased from the Weir Group by Clyde Union since it acquired the Weir Pumps, Glasgow business in May 2007 for around £45m. Completion of the site sale is scheduled before 31 Dec 2011.

Clyde Union Pumps has recently won an order for more than $15m from China. The contract is for six advanced main feed water pumps and associated equipment for the Fuqing 3 & 4 nuclear power plant in Fujian Province in South West China. The order for advanced pumps is the first to benefit from a new UK government scheme, which helps banks to support UK exporters.

Invensys is to supply automation systems and services to TNK-BP ’s Saratov oil refinery in western Russia. The 7,000-ktpa unit supplies products, including gasoline, low-sulphur diesel, naphtha, vacuum gas oil, fuel oil and bitumen. Invensys will supply its Foxboro I/A Series DCS and Triconex emergency shutdown and critical control systems, plus measurement, instrumentation and control devices for the hydrofining and isomerisation units. It will also provide project management, documentation, engineering, delivery, installation, testing and start-up services, as well as training for the systems, covering development, commissioning and maintenance.

Hudson Oil , a Canadian downstream energy company, has acquired the historic Glimar refinery in Gorlice, southern Poland. It aims to restart the 3,500 barrels per day refinery, originally built in the 19th century. Wojciech Janowski, executive chairman, said: “The refinery has recently been retrofitted with Chevron-licensed all hydro-processing technology, installed by Lurgi GmbH. This creates possibilities for gasification and production of ultra-pure synthetic fuels.”

Lafarge is set to save $1.5 million a year through the use of Mobil SHC 600 lubricants and related application expertise, from ExxonMobil Lubricants , at two of its cement plants, the lubricants maker claims. (More on Process Engineering)
