F.W. WEBB GOES GREEN IN brand NEW HYANNIS LOCATION
At 65,000 square feet, F.W. Webb Hyannis is one of their largest branches in the area. The new location features a Frank Webb’s Bath Center, a massive warehouse with 20,000 sq. ft. mezzanine, 10,000 sq. ft. self service counter area and a fully networked training and conference area with a capacity for over 80 people. What is unique about this facility is that it heats the warehouse area and domestic hot water needs with a hybrid geothermal heating system. Prior to installing the new system, the “building envelope “ was upgraded as well. This included a thermal image of the building. They added insulation, sealed any cracks and improved weather stripping and dock seals to help make the building itself as energy efficient as possible. At the heart of the system are a water furnace distributed water-to-air heat pump system consisting of 15 heat pumps, 3 energy recovery units or heat exchangers, seven wells (3 feed and 4 return) and a 2000 gallon thermal mass tank with two heat exchangers. One unit heats water, the other takes heat from the water. The Cape has relatively stable groundwater temperatures, (45-55 degrees) which makes it ideal for this type of application. The energy recovery units keep the warehouse temperature range from 5575 degrees. The hybrid part of the system is the solar side. On the roof of the building are thirty Buderus SKN3.Ov flat plate solar panels. Twenty-six of these panels provide heat to the warehouse area and four provide domestic hot water. The solar system reduces the load on the geothermal sys-
Matt Hancur Promoted to Webb BioPharm’s Sanitary Pump Product Manager We are pleased to announce that Matt Hancur has been promoted to Webb Bio-Pharm’s Sanitary Pump Product Manager. As we all know, Matt has embraced the pump aspect of our business over the last 18 months and has dedicated his time learning how to size pumps and all of the technical aspects that go along with that. We have seen a significant increase in our pump sales along with our pump repairs and a lot of this has to do with Matt’s expertise and willingness to learn. Congratulations Matt!
tem and on a perfect, sunny day will provide up to 750,000 BTUs of energy, equivalent to 5.4 gal of #2 fuel oil. All of the products used in this installation, from pipe, valves, fittings, solar panels, expansion tanks, heat exchangers, pumps, controls, variable speed drives, storage tanks, energy recovery units, data loggers, heat pumps, thermostats and more are available from Webb. The building will be Energy Star certified and then re-certified after a year of operation. There is no back-up boiler for this installation. They burn no fossil fuels. It is 100% geothermal and thermal solar. Says branch manager Marc Nantel, “I am extremely proud of our new building and of this new installation in particular. Our mechanical contractor did a great job on this installation. We are going to showcase it to all of our customers. It really is state of the art and best of all, we were able to coordinate and supply all of the materials for the job.”

Cam-Tite® and Cam-Line® ball valves with H-Series Compact
actuators have been converted to C-Series Compact II actuators. The Compact II is one of the most rugged actuators on the world market. Due to its ruggedness, Compact offers a seven year warranty on the actuator.
Advantages of the C-Series Compact actuators: • Powerful - Four pistons generate twice the torque of comparably sized two piston designs • Energy saver - Reduces the average air consumption by 50% due to compact physical size • Fastest - Has faster stroke due to shorter travel distance • Smallest and Lightest - Size is about 50% of a traditional 2 piston actuator with same torque value, due to the 4 piston design • Minimal easy maintenance • Less wear of moving parts (piston and o-rings) than any traditional 2 piston actuator due to the concentric pistons design • Safe springs configuration change with cover bolts long enough to release spring load before removing the cover • Easy spring configuration changes, due to concentric spring structure • Wide options of Fail/Safe combinations, particularly in low air operating pressure The H-Series actuator has been discontinued and ITT will no longer ship or quote the obsolete H-Series actuator.

Never Trip Auxiliary Drain The Potter Never-Trip auxiliary drain replaces the old conventional drum drip. The Never-Trip is a completely assembled and tested compact valve and collection chamber assembly that conforms to NFPA 13 requirements for auxiliary drains for dry pipe and preaction systems. The Never-Trip prevents accidental trips of dry pipe and preaction systems and eliminates the cost associated with resetting these systems. With the handle in the COLLECT position the collection chambers are connected to the system through the valve and any water or condensate will flow directly into the collection chambers. The drain is isolated from the collection chambers when the handle is in the COLLECT position. As the handle is moved from COLLECT to DRAIN, the collection chambers are isolated from the system before they are connected to the drain through the valve.

Grundfos Day at Webb Pump Webb Pump was pleased to host the Grundfos Pumps on Tour trailer at our Cranston Rhode Island facility on May 14th from 10AM to 3PM! The event was extremely well-attended with more than 100 of our key customers taking the time out of their busy day to visit our shop and learn about one of our key product lines. The impressive Grundfos trailer featured the latest in pump technology and acted as a 30-person
classroom for the three product seminars that were conducted over the course of the day by Grundfos personnel. We anchored the event with a first-class catered barbecue and we added to the fun by raffling off five prizes including the Grand Prize Gas Grill as well as Red Sox tickets and restaurant gift certificates. While the weather was not the most cooperative, the rain held off and we even saw some sun by late afternoon! Ted Haley took the opportunity to present a seminar on high-purity pump repair and testing to a team of engineers from Genzyme.
Jim Bodle (r) and Dave Buckless (l) prior to the big event!
Grundfos’ Pumps on Tour program is anchored by an impressive 80 foot tractor trailer that expands to provide a product showcase and a teaching classroom that sits 30 people. In addition to the hands-on pump demos, Andy Sayegh from Grundfos hosted three seminars over the course of the day that educated our customers on the Grundfos company, latest products, and their commitment to new product development.
The trailer offered customers the opportunity to see the latest in energysaving variable-speed technology as well as insight into the full breadth of the Grundfos family of companies.
Webb Pump was pleased to have over 100 people in attendance for the show; our repair facility doubled as a full-service cafeteria for the day!
Amazingly enough, we had two winners from Rhodes Technologies!
B&M Clambake Company did an exceptional job on the day and provided a full-service BBQ and steak-tips lunch for the crowd. The event was so well-attended that more food had to be brought in at the last minute to feed the masses.
Summer 2010
The Pumps on Tour truck offered working demos of VFD-based pumping systems. Customers were able to get some handson time with the products to learn how process variables can affect their pump’s performance and energy usage.
Farrell Loughlin from Rhodes was the proud winner of the Grand Prize Gas Grill! Sid Goode from Rhodes won a set of prime Red Sox tickets for a July game!

almatec – the biocor series The ALMATEC pump series BIOCOR is especially designed for sterile applications within the pharmaceutical, biotechnical and food industry. The air-operated diaphragm pumps are EHEDG certificated and ATEX conform according to 94/9/EG directive. BIOCOR pumps with a material combination of PTFE (diaphragms, ball valves, O-rings) equipped with a diaphragm monitoring are 3-A approved. The special design with the integrated cleaning-system enables the CIP (clean in place) and SIP (sterilization in place) capability. Always a demand for sterile applications: all housing parts of the BIOCOR pumps show no horizontal areas. Each pump comes with four ball lifting magnets, which can be attached to the pump housing from the outside at the location of the four ball valves. The ball valves are risen up magnetically out of their seats and the pump is drained entirely without having to be dismounted. There are no mechanical ball lifters with parts and seals in the wetted area. The two pump sizes B 20 and B 32 achieve max. capacities of 3.5 and 7.5 m³/h resp. a max. discharge pressure up to 7 bar The material for the wetted housing parts is electro polished SS 316 L (1.4435, according to Basel Standard II, ferrite content < 1%) with a surface roughness of < 0.4 µm. The center block is made of polyethylene conductive.
rubberfab Elasto-Tech Metal Detectable Elastomers
Help Prevent Product Contamination with Cost Effective Solutions As a result of excessive use, shearing and damage can occur to equipment causing undetectable product contamination. Elasto-tech metal detectable elastomers can eliminate product recall, lower product loss and decrease the risk of elastomers consumed in finished product. A common problem with component and filler parts is excessive wear and tear. When rubber breaks off a moving part it can migrate through your system and into your product. Searching for the locating fragmented rubber parts is a costly, time consuming and inconclusive process requiring expensive x-ray equipment, manual observation and an extensive maintenance program. Not locating a worn and lost rubber piece can have an even costlier outcome. By manufacturing a standard elastomer with a metal impregnated compound, displaced rubber material can now be located by an in line detector. This alarm enables your system to instantly reject contaminated product. Elasto-tech is available in Buna, FKM, Tuf-Steel, EPDM and Silicone. Meets High Standards: • Elastomers meet Title 21 CFR 177.2600 • Tuf-Steel meets Title 21 CFR 177.1550 • Meets USDA Hazard Analysis and Critical Controls Points • Detectable metal additive meets the latest revision of the Food Chemicals Codex • Animal Derived Ingredient Free

CHS – Commercial Steam Heating System Fuel Economizer
CAC – Commercial Air Conditioning Electrical Consumption Economizer
IntelliCon®-CHS is a microprocessor-controlled, fuel-saving device for commercial steam heating systems. IntelliCon-CHS reduces: fuel consumption, wear on parts, fuel emissions and electrical usage, when installed on any new or existing gas or oil burner. IntelliConCHS saves energy by adjusting the burner run pattern to match the system’s “heat load.” Its action is similar to the industryaccepted method of “outdoor-air temperature reset control,” but does not require an outdoor-air temperature sensor or the need to profile the building in order to adjust the “reset” controller properly. IntelliCon-CHS determines the “heat load” by using an easily installed pressure sensor that monitors the boiler’s steam-pressure and the rate that this pressure is changing.
IntelliCon®-CAC typically reduces Commercial Air Conditioning electric consumption by 10% to 20% or more. The IntelliCon-CAC is a microprocessor-based, UL listed, electronic control that uses intelligent Dynamic Cycle Management (DCM) technology to automatically adjust the compressor cycles to achieve the greatest efficiency and reduced electrical usage, while assuring consistent temperature levels. IntelliCon-CAC is maintenance free, easy to install by a qualified installer, and is guaranteed to save energy.
CHW – Commercial Hot Water Heating System Fuel Economizer IntelliCon®-CHW is a microprocessor-controlled fuelsaving device for commercial hot-water heating systems. IntelliCon-CHW reduces: fuel consumption, wear on parts, flue emissions and electrical usage, when installed on any new or existing gas or oil burner.
RU – Refrigeration Unit Electrical Consumption Economizer IntelliCon®-RU will reduce electric consumption—typically 10% to 20%—when installed on commercial refrigeration/ freezer (refrigeration) systems. IntelliCon-RU represents a major advancement in refrigeration system energy-saving technology, unsurpassed in today’s commercial refrigeration marketplace. IntelliCon-RU is easily installed by a qualified installer, maintenance free and guaranteed to save energy.
Residential Economizers also available.
