GE fluid engineering center

摘要

GE ADVANCED MATERIALS,addressing the need for potable water in much of the world,has invested in a new Fluid Engineering Center at its location in Bergen Op Zoom,the Netherlands.Scientists and technologists there are focusing GE's R&D efforts on the use of engineering plastics in fluid engineering applications.Work includes prediction of endurance and mechanical strength retention of plastic parts after extended use,and replacement of metal water handling components with plastics to save costs and eliminate risk of corrosion and heavy metal contamination.
