Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)

8. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will not be required to participate, unless they are part of a large corporate group enterprise. SMEs will be able to carry out ESOS assessments on a voluntary basis and the Government encourages SMEs to consider such voluntary action.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change published in July 2013 its ESOS consultation document which sought views on the Government’s approach to implementing Article 8 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, which was agreed by Member States on 25 October 2012 and came into force on 14 November 2012

9. To make it easier to determine whether a corporate group would be included in ESOS, the Government proposes that the scheme would only target those corporate groups where there are one or more large (i.e. non-SME) UK companies within the corporate group. If every UK company in the group enterprise was an SME, the group would not be covered by the scheme.

Background

1. Article 8 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (‘the Directive’) requires all Member States to introduce a programme of regular energy audits for ‘large enterprises’. Audits must be undertaken by 5 December 2015, and then at least every four years from the date of the previous audit. Government believes that this programme offers a significant opportunity for the UK. It will help drive the take-up of cost- effective energy efficiency measures by participants, benefiting their competitiveness and contributing to the wider growth agenda.

10. The scheme does not extend to public bodies.

NB. The consultation closed on 30 October 2013 and BPMA convened a meeting with its members on 4 September 2013 to consider the BPMA response. The outcome of the consultation is expected in June 2014 ■

2. The ‘Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme’ (ESOS) is the Government’s proposed approach to implementing this requirement. Under the scheme, approved assessors will carry out Article 8 compliant ESOS assessments to identify energy saving recommendations. While the Directive prescribes many of the key features that ESOS must include, there is some limited scope for flexibility and interpretation. This consultation document seeks views on a range of detailed issues around the implementation of ESOS.

2014 EUROPUMP

3. Following this consultation, the Government will analyse consultation responses and then develop secondary legislation, setting out the legal framework for the operation of ESOS. The Government also proposes to develop good practice guidance to support organisations and ESOS assessors in conducting ESOS assessments.

Europump visited Scotland in 2014 for its Annual Meeting Sponsored by WEG Electric Motors, BPMA hosted the 2014 Europump Annual Meeting at St Andrews over the period 2224 May 2014 at the Fairmont St Andrews Resort. Some 150 attended the event which provided updates on all technical, marketing and commercial matters currently pertinent to European and American pump companies.

4. The Government’s guiding principles for implementing ESOS are to: • ensure that ESOS provides high quality and well-targeted advice to large enterprises on cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities, driving significant net cost savings; • ensure a proportionate approach to implementation is taken, minimising the administrative burdens placed on UK businesses; • ensure ESOS fits with and is complementary to the landscape of existing energy efficiency and climate change policy instruments; and • ensure our implementation of Article 8 avoids ‘gold plating’ that disadvantages UK businesses relative to their European competitors.

A fantastic partner programme was arranged, including lunch at the famous St Andrews Seafood Restaurant, a visit to the Hill of Tarvit and a Falconry display. Additionally, following the meetings, many of the delegates took the opportunity to participate in a WEG Electric Motors sponsored golf competition on one of the resort’s championship courses.

The whole event was marked on the final evening by a Gala Dinner at the Fairmont ■

5. The Government’s Energy Efficiency Strategy set out the substantial, untapped and cost effective energy efficiency potential which exists in the UK economy. Through the right action we can unlock more of this cost-effective potential, and help to reduce energy bills at a time of increasing gas and electricity prices, balance the UK’s future energy demand and supply needs, and cut our carbon emissions.

Europump Guideline on Pump Vibration published in Autumn 2013

For some time there has been confusion about which vibration standard should be used and when for rotodynamic pumps. The purpose of the guideline was to present, in one document, the essential points of each standard and then to subsequently explain where each standard tends to be used.

6. The current economic climate makes it more important than ever for individuals, businesses and the country to realise the benefits available from reducing energy demand. Doing so will help support productivity of UK firms and improve the UK’s international competitiveness. Who will this scheme apply to?

The guideline is not an alternative to studying the full content of any of the standards identified with which compliance is also required, and because it is a summary it does not contain all the conditional statements and explanations which will be within the standard. John Bower of Flowserve UK produced most of the background work for this publication and BPMA wish to thank John for his time, patience and efforts. ■

7. The proposed scheme would apply to all large enterprises in the UK (primarily businesses but also charities and any

BPMA Activity Highlights 2013/14 BPMA PUBLISHES A GREEN DEAL GUIDELINE ON CIRCULATING PUMP REPLACEMENT Introduction The purpose of this guideline was to present, in one document, the essential points that will be required to identify a less efficient pump installed in a domestic property and whether it should be upgraded to a more efficient one.

Scope Was to give adequate information to the assessor to easily identify if an installed stand alone circulating pump is of the old technology where its replacement with a product that complies with the Energy Related Product legislation displaying an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) will afford the householder energy savings that meet the Green Deal guidelines.

Identification The easiest way to identify if a circulating pump is post 2013 legislation is to check the main body of the pump for a Energy Efficiency Index (EEI). Legislation came into force on January 1st 2013 and required all manufacturers to identify that all stand alone pumps are at least 0.27 EEI or lower. ■

NOV MONO

If the existing circulating pump does not display an EEI rating it should be considered for replacement.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM) The Europump Standards Commission agreed to establish a Building Information Modelling (BIM) working group and sought interested experts. The BPMA agreed to provide the secretariat of a new WG and nominated a volunteer to be Chairman. The proposed Chairman was Mr Wayne Rose of Armstrong Fluid Technology and his position was sanctioned at the Standards Commission meeting held in Zurich on 18th September 2013. It is understood that many members of Europump already work internally on BIM and BPMA’s goal is to identify an acceptable way forward for the pump industry and other parties involved. To explain further , Level 1 BIM has been used across Europe for some time. It involves 3-D modelling, often termed 3-D CAD. We believe the construction industry now faces Level 2 BIM. Level 2 promises to transform the design, construction and operation of buildings by involving all participants in a ‘complete’ digital model of a building. What this actually means to the pump industry still needs to be defined and hopefully addressed so we have a mutual approach across Europump. Accordingly, a meeting was convened in Brussels in November 2013 to: • Define what is currently happening across Europe • Identify what has already been done • Identify an acceptable way forward for Europump and the construction industry • Identify a work program and timescales ■

Market Surveillance – a BPMA view published in January 2014 Market Surveillance is a key element of a fair and efficient EU internal market:

• It should ensure that products placed on the community market comply with EU regulations and do not pose any safety and environmental threats for users and the public at large • It should ensure a level playing field/fair competition on the market • It should safeguard the coherence of the European regulatory framework, the consistency of which depends on effective enforcement

However, whereas consumer goods benefit from well organised and efficient market surveillance, capital goods (pumps) suffer from a certain lack of focus – market surveillance tends to be more reactive (eg. Following an accident) than preventative.

States whose geographic or economic conditions place them in a weaker position to fight against illegal trade and unlawful imports from abroad. This is especially true for countries with maritime ports, where 90% of the goods imported into the EU transit every day.

Cooperation with colleagues outside the European Union: close cooperation between all authorities involved in customs controls and market surveillance from the main EU trade partners, and in particular EU neighbours, is necessary to ensure that most imported machines are compliant. Internal coordination at national level across the various authorities involved in the enforcement of different legal requirements (health and safety, environment, energy efficiency…) because machinery often has to comply with various types of regulatory requirements.

10. Increased awareness among market operators about the working methods and actions through a European awareness campaign (including awareness about the obligations related to the affixing of the CE marking and about sanctions in case of non-compliance), Economic players should be encouraged to inform authorities about non-compliance. ■

For such reasons the following are considered to be the key elements of an effective market surveillance strategy that can safeguard the competitiveness and interests of such as the pump sector; 1. Allocation of sufficient resources (both financial and staff) to market surveillance authorities so they can actively control compliance of machinery entering the European market.

Pumps and Energy – did you know?

2. The setting up of a common Commission- Member States co-operation platform under Regulation 765/2008/EC, with an industry advisory forum for preparing Europe wide targeted campaigns focusing on certain products or product categories with a view to achieving maximum effectiveness with limited resources. The decision on the areas to be selected would be made after consultation with stakeholders, including the industry affected by noncompliant products

Pumps are involved in nearly every aspect of modern living. They are used to move fluids such as liquids, slurries or gasses.

In businesses, buildings, households and industries, pumps exist - in some form or another. They are key components in maintaining comfort levels in buildings. They deliver and distribute clean drinking water from water treatment plants throughout cities, while at the same time removing wastewater. And, they are highly present within a wide range of industries. The world depends on them, but many pumps are also serious energy wasters, leaving behind a significant carbon footprint. This is because today’s pumps account for no less than 10% of the world’s electricity consumption and because the majority of electricity is still produced using fossil fuels.

3. A better coordination of market surveillance and harmonisation of enforcement practices (e.g. a common approach to risk assessment) with colleagues in other EU Member States: it is of the utmost importance to enhance mutual confidence, avoid double checks and maximise the use of human resources for multiple and intelligent market surveillance activities. 4. The establishment of close relations between market surveillance and custom authorities: all customs officials should receive training to help them identify potentially non-compliant products (e.g. by making use of the manufacturer’s declaration of conformity, as requested for all harmonised products

Pumps and the world’s electricity consumption

• Two third of all pumps use up to 60% too much energy. • If every business switched to a high efficiency pump system there could be global savings of 4% of the total electricity consumption- comparable with the residential electricity consumption of 1 billion people.

5. The implementation of actions as early as possible in the supply chain: the earlier the products are checked in the supply chain, the less damage they cause on the market if they are not compliant. This should apply first of all to imported goods.

The surprising truth about pumps

• Pumps currently account for 10% of the world’s total electricity consumption

6. Setting up an agreement between the EU Member States to meet a set of essential requirements for efficient Europe wide market surveillance. This requires deterrent sanctions against rogue traders (e.g. fines, destruction of non compliant goods at the responsible market operator’s expenses).Sanctions should be considered also against conformity assessment bodies (e.g. economic or related to accreditation), if necessary.

There is no doubt that pumps are important, but they are also a major source of energy wastage. However, with optimised pump technology available today, it is possible to reduce their electricity consumption immediately and start to reduce this figure NOW.

• You cannot go through a day without using pumps

Pumps are involved in all kinds of processes and everyday practices: taking a shower, drinking a cup of coffee, cooling off production equipment, ensuring the right

BPMA Activity Highlights 2013/14 combined. By optimising current pump installations in buildings this number can be significantly reduced.

Pumps and Energy - did you know? (continued)

• On average, pump optimisation has a payback time of 1 to 5 years

temperature in office buildings and transporting wastewater to sewage plants. All of these routines require pumps.

Needless to say, switching to energy efficient pump systems involves certain investment costs. However, as the payback time is remarkably low, you will experience considerable savings for many years to come.

• Switching to energy efficient pumps could make savings equivalent to the residential electricity consumption of one billion people

• More than 20% of all the power used by motors in Europe is used to drive pumps

If every inefficient pump were replaced with one that is energy optimised, it could result in savings of 4% of the world’s total electricity consumption. This is equal to the residential electricity consumption of one billion people

• Most pumps waste energy 95% of the time In many pump installations, the motors run at top speed, regardless of actual requirements. This means the pumps are needlessly inefficient. In fact, most pump motors only need to run at full speed for 5% of the time.

• 2 out of 3 pumps are wasting energy In two thirds of pumps and pump systems currently installed, it is possible to save up to 60% energy by switching to pumps with high-efficiency motors and variable frequency drives.

So What Should You Do????

• In the chemical industry there are more pumps installed than there are employees

Simple.....Make Sure You Operate The Correct Pumping System By Regularly Undertaking A Pump System Audit. And You Do That By Retaining The Services Of A Certified Pump System Auditor (CPSA)

A chemical industry study conducted in Germany revealed that for every employee, chemical companies had an average of 1.25 pumps installed.

BPMA Golf Day

BPMA High Efficiency Circulating Pumps ALERT!!!

The famous Celtic Manor Resort in the Usk Valley was the venue this year for our annual Golf Day which was held on 8 May 2014.

Back in January 2013 we were all waiting for the EU’s Energy Related Products (ErP) Directive to kick in and change the way circulating pumps were specified and installed forever. But would it have the desired effect? Would it make a huge dent in emissions across Europe and help the UK and other Governments to reach their, in the main, optimistic targets for energy efficiency and emissions reductions? And would everyone comply with these new regulations?

16 teams took part in a “Texas Scramble” and despite the terrible weather forecast, the rain held off and everyone reported having a great time.

Our usual well deserved dinner in the evening concluded with the prizegiving. Winners this year were Sulzer with Smedegaard ‘B’ team coming second and WEG Electric Motors ‘B’ team third. Peter Miller of Smedegaard ‘B’ team won the “longest drive” competition with Steve Hall (ITT ‘A’ team) winning the “nearest the pin”.

You may recall that the EU Commission estimates that inefficient heating system small circulators alone are responsible for about a 20% share of household energy bills and removing them and replacing them with intelligent circulators could save several billion euros by 2020 across the 27 European member states – equivalent to the total annual electricity consumption of Ireland.

Congratulations to all!

The British Pump Manufacturers Association Ltd (BPMA) and its Council members including some of the top pump manufacturers such as Wilo, Grundfos, Xylem and Armstrong met with the National Measurement Office (NMO) in October 2013 to discuss how they could help to monitor the products that do not comply with the ErP regulations. The NMO are the UK Market Surveillance Authority in respect of Products in scope of the Energy Related Products Directive. The new ErP Directive states that old uncontrolled pumps would need to cease being manufactured from the end of December 2012 and thereafter only the new high efficiency products would be distributed by all pump manufacturers., in compliance with the ErP regulations.

Sulzer Team L to R – Sandeep Sharma, Mark Teale, Tim Francis and Captain Dave Drewe

A special thanks to our sponsors this year

However the BPMA and its members have seen a number of non-high efficiency pumps on the market and they are becoming increasingly concerned about the influx of non-Erp products imported from countries such as China. They are concerned that these pumps, although cosmetically looking like the new high efficiency models, in some cases, do not meet the requirements of the ErP regulations.

In their discussions with NMO the BPMA presented a number of products which they deemed to be non-compliant. The NMO are responsible for enforcing the Energy Related Products Directive within the UK. They operate direct enforcement and this can be in the form of the education of the manufacturer through to court action if they believe that any company are ignoring the clear guidelines set out in the ErP Directive.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2013/14 On the basis of this report and the consultation with stakeholders and Member States, the Commission is likely to launch a formal impact assessment as the next step. If the merger goes ahead, it will probably happen during the revision of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (over the period 2015–2017). A meeting of the Noise Working Group of the European Commission will take place in the afternoon of 11 March 2014 to discuss the results of this study and most certainly noise limits The new Directive 2006/42/EC came into effect as from 29 December 2009. The BPMA have now issued useful information on the requirements of the New Machinery Directive and also captive screws for guards. To comply fully with the new directive members should work to the revised text of standard EN 809 1998 +A1:2009 which was published by BSi February 2010. A preliminary version of the proposed revision of the existing Europump Guideline has now been Circulated ( 3 pages ) . This ensures that the pump industry fully understand its obligations. The Regulatory Committee on Machinery endorsed the second edition of the guide on the Machinery directive on 2 June 2010. This second edition covers all annexes and is available in English on the Commission website. It will be translated into all EU languages and these translations should be made available by the end of 2010. CEN TC 197 Previously issued a Resolution C3/2007 which concerns the result of a questionnaires on drafts and standards under the New Machinery Directive. The Standards which required work are EN 809, EN13951 , EN12162 , EN ISO 20361, EN13386, EN1829-1 and 2. This work is now completed.

European Directives BPMA continues to provide an exclusive service to members in regard to the monitoring of European Directives and legislation affecting the pump industry. The February 2014 “Directives Update” follows:

“New strategy for the single market” -

On 9 May 2010 Professor Mario Monti (formerly Commissioner for the Internal Market and for Competition) presented to the European Commission a report on a new strategy for the Single Market, which should be the basis for a Commission initiative to re-launch the Single Market. While analysing the shortcomings of (and reasons behind) a full completion of the EU single market, the report also contains a series of proposals (mainly legislative) to fill the gaps in nine identified areas: • Make the single market work for citizens, consumers and SMEs, speed up implementation of the Small Business Act and adopt the Statute for a European Private Company • Shape Europe’s digital single market, create a regulatory framework for electronic communication and for ecommerce (for both consumers and providers) and adopt an EU copyright law • In the areas of energy, climate change and environment, establish new EU regulatory frameworks for the large-scale deployment of renewable sources, smart metering, smart grids and transparent wholesale energy markets, set up a single market for green products (EU-wide standards for measuring and auditing carbon footprints and for energy efficient products, including trade certificates for renewable energy products); step up targeted EU funding for energy infrastructure • On the single market for goods, review the EU standard setting system (striking the right balance between EU and national levels); adopt the EU patent and a single patent jurisdiction as a matter of urgency Advance the physical infrastructure of the single market: facilitate the combination of public-private partnerships with the use of structural funds; examine whether an ad hoc European regulatory framework would be needed to encourage long term investors’ focus on infrastructure projects; provide maximum legal security as regards competition policy in the area of infrastructure investment and financing. The report also recommends completing the Services directive in the area of industrial services, making recognition of professional qualifications faster and easier and encouraging mobility of researchers and highly mobile individuals by coordinating social security systems.

Europump Guideline • In line with 2006/42/EC • Highlights the specifics of pumps • Interpretation of partly completed machinery vs. Complete machinery • Definition – Pump without motor is machinery • Fasteners for guards (differences between a guard and a protective device) • Will be available on the Europump website in June 2011

PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE

97/23/EC (no significant change since last Directives update) Europump Position paper have now been modified to insert the new Machinery Directive and Atex numbers and are available on the Europump website http://www.europump.org/

INTERNAL MARKET MACHINERY DIRECTIVE Old (98/37/EC) New 2006/42/EC

The European Commission and JRC are carrying out a twoyear study on the impact of potential amendments to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (MD), as well as the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC and Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED). The study’s kick-off meeting took place at the end of January 2014. The aim is to examine the economic, social and environmental impact of extending the scope of these directives to include equipment installed and used on mobile offshore units Machinery Directive / Outdoor Noise Directive – possible merger A stakeholder workshop is scheduled for 11 March 2014 to discuss the CEPS study on the merger. The consultant in charge of the study on a possible merger of the Outdoor Noise Directive 2000/14/EC (OND) and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (MD) will present the final report and policy recommendations.

The 5th annual meeting of the EU-China working group on pressure equipment took place in November in Brussels. The main objective of this EU-China Regulatory Dialogue is to ensure regulatory convergence between the EU and China in the long term, with a view to eliminating obstacles to trade and investment. Points of discussion included the follow-up of the exchange of legislation and supporting documents agreed in previous meetings (Licensing guide; Office CSEI in Europe; Comparison of standards); an introduction of regulatory developments (EU side: TPED, new legislative framework package,…China side: WTO matters (boilers: BT/WTO/CHN/407); an exchange of view on market surveillance/export control; cooperation at ISO level; energy efficiency (Boiler); and a working plan for 2009. As pumps are excluded within Europe the BPMA through Europump and Orgalime will attempt to ensure the same position is taken in China . PED Directive 97/23/EC, and reorganisation of the working group and its chairmanship. The PED is expected to be revised during 2012, so the preparation of the revision should start in 2009. This potential revision has been subject to discussions and consultations by the Commission over the past few months. There will therefore be no integration of the

ATEX (EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES) 94/9/EC ATEX Directive 94/09/EC

LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE 2006 /95/ EC

On 5 February, the European Parliament’s legislative resolution (first reading) on the proposal for a Directive on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) under the “NLF alignment package” was adopted in plenary The alignment of the Directive on equipment and protective systems for potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX 94/9/EC) with the New Legislative Framework (Regulation 765/2008) calls for an update of the guidelines on the measures manufacturers should take in the event of publication of a new edition of a harmonised standard relevant to their products. These are not legally binding guidelines, but merely assist manufacturers in adapting to the principles of the New Legislative FrameworkTo reiterate on the 5th March 2012 Orgalime issued a position paper on the Commission proposals package for the alignment of nine Directives with the New Legislative Framework which contains specific comments relating to the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. These comments relate to the inconsistency in the definitions of “component” and “equipment” with the general meaning of “products”; the absence of an obligation to carry out sample testing of marketed products; the difference in the order of markings; language requirement of the documents for notified bodies; and supporting evidence for adequacy of the technical design solution. The package is being discussed in the European Parliament and Council, and final adoption is foreseen at the beginning of 2013. The Europump Atex Guideline is currently being updated to reflect any changes . To reiterate the document has now been split into two parts .

On 5 February, the European Parliament’s legislative resolution (first reading) on the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) under the “NLF alignment package” was adopted in plenary. An updated list of harmonised standards relating to the Low Voltage directive was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 4 September 2013. The list contains new series of standards for the safety of electrical equipment of machines (EN 60204 series) and the safety of electric and optical cables (EN 60811 series). On the alignment of the LVD 2006/95/EEC with the New Legislative Framework (NLF), the final text under negotiation in trialogue between the European Parliament, Council and Commission will most probably be adopted in July 2013. Transposition into national law will then last 2 years before application. Due to the change of the directive number through this recast process, the Commission is currently drafting a mandate for the harmonised standards revision.

The European Commission has now published the updated guidance document on the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC The amendments to the current guide deal with the codification of the previous Directive 73/23/EEC and the interface with the “new” Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The guidance document highlights the editorial corrigendum to Directive 1993/68/EC that clarifies Article 10 (1) regarding the placing of the CE marking and also touches on the interface with the General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC, reflecting guidance issued by EC DG Health & Consumer Protection. To reconfirm that any reference to the LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE should be to – 2006/95/EC no reference to the old numbers should made. New references of harmonised standards for low voltage were published in the Official Journal of the European Union in June 2008 (OJ C144 of 2008-06-10).

• Part 1 being the background to the directive and will be useful to companies moving into Atex applications. • Part 2 will be more specific to particular areas that have affected the pump industry since the Directive came into force in July 2003. Modifications are ongoing to this guideline in particular to certain wording in part 7 (mechanical seals) and new directive number references.

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility DIRECTIVE) 89/336/EEC 2004/108/EC

The European Guidelines on the application of Directive 94/9/EC –are available . Finally, new references of harmonized standards (consolidated list) under the ATEX Directive have been published in the Official Journal. These are available on the Commission website. The Lisbon Treaty and New Legislative Framework will cause substantial changes to manufacturers in the future. Due to the Lisbon Treaty Articles will change from 95 to 114 for manufacturers and 137 to 153 for end users. The New legislative framework will affect the declaration of conformity, documentation and the marking of products. The marking of electric products will change mid 2012 and are a result of new IEC standards being produced in particular IEC 60079 which introduces equipment in Group III valid for electrical equipment to be used in dust explosive areas. Also introduces classes of dust. For now it is believed there will be no change in marking of mechanical equipment. Members should start checking that electrical suppliers are working to IEC 60079. There are also discussions taking place regarding the development of future international standards to ensure mechanical equipment can be operated around the world in explosive environments, however the consequence of such a

On 5 February 2014, the European Parliament’s legislative resolution (first reading) on the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMCD) under the “NLF alignment package” was adopted in plenary. On the alignment of the EMCD 2004/108/EC with the New Legislative Framework,. Transposition into national law will then last 2 years before application. On the directive’s applications, Eurelectric and ESMIG have recently raised concerns on the negative impact of IEC recommendations on the communication of smart meters. A draft Application guide to European Standard EN 50160 on “voltage characteristics of electricity supplied by public distribution systems” is currently being adopted by CENELEC. Because new technologies and equipment introduce new and more severe disturbances in the environments in which they are used, ESMIG (smart meters), EURELECTRIC (electricity producers, suppliers, traders and distributors), ORGALIME, CEN and CENELEC organised a joint workshop on EMC disturbances in the frequency range 2-150 kHz on 12 September 2013 in Brussels. The aim of this workshop was to discuss EMC disturbances from various industrial perspectives and design possible solutions. A CENELEC Study Report

continued

On 4 February, the European Commission launched a public consultation on the preliminary opinion on potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) prepared by the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR). The purpose of this exercise is to update the two opinions delivered in 2009 by the Committee and to provide more evidence in areas where knowledge gaps have been identified. The report covers human exposure issues, health effects from Terahertz (THz) technologies, radiofrequency (RF) fields, Intermediate Frequency (IF) fields, static magnetic fields, and combined exposure (to EMF or EMF and other sources of stress). On 27 March 2014, the European Commission will organise a public hearing preceding a workshop on “Electromagnetic fields and health effects: from science to policy and public awareness”, co-organised by the European Commission and the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC). This hearing aims to complement the public consultation to gather specific comments, suggestions and contributions on the scientific basis of the preliminary opinion referred above. The deadline for submitting comments to the preliminary opinion is 16 April 2014

published in May 2013 on “Electromagnetic Interference between Electrical Equipment/Systems in the frequency range below 150 kHz” confirms that much electrical equipment which shows high emissions in this frequency range can potentially cause electromagnetic interference with other electrical equipment. Active Infeed Converters (AICs) are an example of such equipment with high emissions. The Study Report indicates that the increasing application of technologies and systems with EMI potential requires a general solution, and industry agrees that a horizontal discussion is needed. As a reminder 9 Directives with the New Legislative Framework which contains specific comments relating to the EMCD 2004/108/EC are ongoing. In view of the specific objective of the Directive (to guarantee the electromagnetic compatibility of electrical apparatus and installations by imitating disturbances, not protecting the health and safety of users), the concepts of “risk” and “serious risk” will be clarified. The language of the safeguard clause has been adapted to fit the specific objective of the Directive. A full alignment with the provisions on notified bodies is envisaged, but the existing version of the modules should be kept. An updated list of harmonised standards was published in the OJEU

On 29 June, the new Directive 2013/35/EU on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) was published on the EU Official Journal (L179). It entered into force immediately, giving Member States until 1 July 2016 to transpose it into national law. It repeals Directive 2004/40/EC (which never entered into force). As a reminder, the new Directive covers all sectors but mainly concerns workers exposed to a level of risk. It incorporates

The European Commission has finally published the implementation guidelines of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC on its website. No reference to the old number should be made in correspondence , paperwork and certification.

As a reminder the Commission have proposed this new text to remove the existing Directive with regulation. This could affect the pump industry has it is currently believed within Europump that pumps are not part of the Construction Products Directive. The BPMA and Europump will monitor this position closely , unfortunately for now the French have chose to work to the CPR whilst the UK, Germany and Italy are saying pumps are excluded.

new international exposure limits, based on guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiations Protection (ICNIRP). The legislation obliges employers to assess the risks of exposure to electromagnetic fields and to take the necessary measures to reduce them, for example by replacing equipment or using interlocks or shielding mechanisms. The new Directive addresses the short-term direct biophysical effects (e.g. tissue heating, stimulation of muscles, nerves or sensory organs) and indirect biophysical effects (e.g. interference with medical electronic equipment such as cardiac pacemakers). The adoption of the final text by the European Parliament’s plenary is scheduled for May/June 2013. The agreed text will also be formally adopted by the Council. The Directive should be transposed into national law by all Member States by July 2016 at the latest. The directive stipulates an obligation for employers to carry out risk assessments and, if necessary, measure or calculate the levels of electromagnetic fields to which workers are exposed. Employers must ensure that the exposure of workers is compliant with a series of exposure limit values regarding thermal and non-thermal effects of electromagnetic fields both on health and senses, take corrective measures if such values are exceeded, and take measures aimed at avoiding or reducing risks to a minimum. Exposure limit values are indicated in the annexes to the directive As a reminder, and despite the lobbying efforts developed at the time of discussion, this directive sets exposure limit values and action values, and defines employers’ obligations to determine the exposure and assess the associated risks. The manufacturers and employers organisations insist that many working processes will be disturbed by the application of this physical agents directive, and it may even render the use of some machines or processes impossible e.g. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, spot and seam welding.

DRINKING WATER DIRECTIVE 99/83/EC

Although the Construction Products Regulation entered into force on 1 July 2013, no construction product in contact with drinking water is covered by a harmonised standard to date. Standardisation work for these products is still in progress, with remaining uncertainties on how to deal with the “fitness for contact with drinking water” characteristic. There is still no activity in the European Commission on this topic, but some Member States have made progress in their discussions. In particular, Germany has issued a new draft composition list of approved metallic alloys. Interestingly, this list has not been communicated by the 4MS. This list will apparently be enforced in December 2014 in Germany and July 2013 in the Netherlands. It contains little new information. Europump still see this issue as a huge barrier to trade across Europe and has now formed a working group to look into all of the current issues and to see if a position paper or guideline could be issued to help members sell their products across Europe. The next meeting will be held in Paris 30th April , BPMA members interested in being involved should contact S Schofield . Bill Harper the CEN rapporteur has chosen to step down from this role in March 2013 , this is mainly due to frustrations with regards to the lack of commitment and direction from the Commission. A copy of his final report is available from S.Schofield BPMA

Construction Products Regulation (CPR) – Revision On 1 July 2013, the Construction Products Regulation No 305/2011 entered into force. It is the belief of the Pump Industry that pumps are excluded from this Directive as they need to comply to more appropriate Directives such as Machinery , Atex , Low Voltage etc . Unfortunately the revision of a series of Standards EN 12050 parts 1 to 4 has led to an Annex ZA being introduced which Subsequently calls for the CE marking of pump products to the CPR . Europump are now working on a position paper to assist the pump industry. As a reminder, regarding the Council of European Producers of Materials for Construction (CEPMC) guide on the Construction Products Regulation No 305/2011 (CPR), a meeting took place on 9 May in the CEPMC premises in order to comment and finally validate the draft CEPMC. Although Orgalime participated in the elaboration of certain chapters, the general feeling in reading the guide led to an impression of confusion (some chapters are too long, others are not relevant to the manufacturers, some clear mistakes were included). Therefore, Orgalime decided to draw up its own guide of interpretation. The British Construction Products’ Regulation Guide published by the British Association for Construction Products is available from S. Schofield . The new Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC) was published in the OJEU (all language versions) on 4 April 2011. It entered into force on 24 April 2011, and is directly applicable in the Member States. However, most of the provisions (Articles 3 to 28, 36 to 38, 56 to 63, 65 and 66, and Annexes I, II, III and V) will apply from 1 July 2013, and transitional provisions are foreseen under article 66. The European Commission should now embark on the

Also within the UK The BPMA held in September 2013 a meeting to review a Anglian Water technical/commercial document on regulation 31. Also discussed at this meeting was WRas approval , WRas Pressure testing of pumps and the inconsistency across the water authorities in the UK. The BPMA have agreed to investigate this further and visit DWI in London. Minutes of this meeting are available from S Schofield.

The 4MS – soon to be 5MS with Portugal - published a new document on their website in the summer: a compilation of the positive lists of substances used for organic materials acceptance for contact with drinking water. This spreadsheet is not yet a harmonised list, but clearly shows what is authorised in France, Germany and the Netherlands (the UK does not use such positive lists). An update of the positive list of metallic alloys is still awaited. On standardisation issues, DG Enterprise has sent guidance to CEN on regulatory aspects. CEN should be able to formally accept Mandate M/136 early next year and consult each concerned TC/WG for the drafting of harmonised standards. With regards to the CE marking of construction products in contact with drinking water, the standardization process is still ongoing. Regulatory guidance to the Technical Committees is still under progress and should be issued by the end of year, after consultation of national experts. In parallel, the 4MS have issued a new document on their website (hosted by the German Federal Environment Agency, UBA): “Assessment of Cementitious Products in Contact with Drinking Water”. This document reflects the common view between UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands on the assessment of such products. New documents are awaited concerning organic and

metallic materials, possibly this summer.

The 4MS (France, Germany, Netherlands, UK) public seminar on harmonisation of hygienic requirements for materials and products in contact with drinking water took place in Berlin on 2 March 2011. The 4MS formalised their cooperation with a declaration of intent to harmonise their national regulations and at least adopt a common approach. They invited other EU countries to join. On metals, they are expected to issue a revised version of their report on metallic materials, which would include accepted (assessed) composition lists for alloys (brass, gunmetal, stainless steel) and which would provide a methodology for acceptance of metallic products. On organic materials, they intend to align their national positive lists, but no results are expected before 2016 (with a possible intermediary list in 2012). On non-metallic materials testing, they are looking at organoleptic parameters (taste & odour), colour & turbidity, microbial growth… As a reminder, the new Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 does not foresee harmonisation of hygienic requirements for materials and products in contact with drinking water, nor will the Drinking Water directive. In the meantime CEPMC (construction products association) is collecting facts on the barriers and difficulties faced by industry due to the lack of harmonisation in preparation for a possible action towards the European Commission

The Goal The CPD harmonization and MS voluntary cooperation whilst providing real benefits, will not themselves achieve common practice across Europe. Most stakeholders support the introduction of a single scheme. During the recent Europump meetings in September 2011 it was reported by Profluid (French Association) that the Goal was to specify what test will be required so CE Marking could be placed on the products . The response from members of the group was they believed it would not be possible to CE products to the Drinking water directive and acceptance levels would stay at national level . It was agreed to contact the CEN Rappoteur Bill Harper for clarification on this issue . Below please find the response from Bill Harper As regards CE Marking, it is used with products to signify compliance with notified national regulations – in this case regulations covering the acceptance of products in contact with drinking water. The CE Marking can be applied in those countries (the 4MS and a few others) that have such regulations. It is not relevant in countries (the majority) that do not have (formal) regulations. The problem is that since national regulations vary, the CE Marking relevant to where the product is placed on the market is likely to be applicable only to that single country. There will be some benefit from the use of common test methods (and the results should accepted in different countries), but The CE Marking will not be a “universal passport” across all MS.

As a reminder, the task group aims at developing a note on the current problems met by industry, collect cases of problems linked to the current situation of non-harmonised national EAS schemes, prioritise the main problems, and propose possible ways to make progress. Two main points should be highlighted: the current systems constitute a barrier to free circulation of goods and they substantially limit innovation for the products concerned. This “white paper” is meant to be issued in the spring of 2011 and presented to the Commission with the objective of re-launching discussions at EU level. Developments to date • In a letter of March 2009 the Commission stated that the EAS had been cancelled. • The Commission confirmed that the EAS was not proceeding. The CPD continued to offer a framework for harmonization of practice at the European level, but Mandate M136 should be revised.

The use of the Provisions of the CPD The construction products directive does not introduces new practices , it simply identifies common elements such as test methods to be used in conjunction with national arrangements There are however disadvantages :

• It covers only national regulations • It does not cover all products • It does not eliminate differences in national schemes and acceptance levels are not laid down. The 4 MS Initiative Faced with no EAS and limited benefits from the CPD the 4 member states (D, F, NL, UK) committed themselves to try to gain the advantages offered by the EAS by adopting common practices in their four countries. It is believed that this activity will offer wider benefits. Other member states could voluntarily adopt the practice being developed. The common practices will be offered to the commission as a possible basis for the regulatory guidance to CEN under M136. It is now reported that: • Some test methods are accepted by the commission • Further dialogue is taking place • Metallic products assessment practices now largely agreed with the commission and industry

At this stage, the European Commission faces difficulties in defining the scope of and responsibilities for this package Within the BPMA an issue was raised with circulator pumps and supply of what was seen to be non compliant pumps being sold onto the UK market . This issue has subsequently been raised with the National Measurements office who say they are investigating , however contact with the NMO was April 2013 and we are now in March 2014 with no further news . BPMA has subsequently chased the NMO on many occasions and now asked its council members to write to their local MP to put further pressure on this government department.

New Legislative Framework (NLF) On 5 February 2014 the European Parliament adopted its first reading position on the eight remaining directives (including ATEX, LVD, SPVD, EMCD, MID) which are part of the “NLF alignment package”, alongside the final amendments (Low Voltage, Simple pressure vessels, ATEX, Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments, EMCD, Measuring instruments, Explosives for civil use, Lifts), approved by the Council and the Commission during the trialogue negotiations. On each of these directives, the Council published information notes stating that it would adopt the final text in conformity with the EP’s position. The formal adoption by the Council, publication in the OJEU and entry into force 20 days later are awaited in the coming weeks. Implementation will take place two years after entry into force (approximately first quarter of 2016).

Dual-use items In the context of the set-up of a Community regime for the control of exports, transfers, brokering and transit of dual-use items, on 7 February 2014 DG Trade published a document on the common set of rules, key principles and parameters as well as types of export authorisation that this regime would presuppose. The export authorisations apply to dual-use items as listed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 428/2009, non-listed items which may be controlled if their use is intended for biological, chemical or nuclear weapons or ballistic missile weapons programmes and, in exceptional cases, non-listed dual-use items to be controlled if their use goes against public security or human rights values.

As a reminder, the package includes the Following Directives, (Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC; Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC; Simple Pressure Vessels Directive 2009/105/EC; Measuring Instruments Directive 2004/22/EC; Non-automatic Weighing Instruments Directive 2009/23/EC; Civil Explosives Directive 93/15/EEC; Pyrotechnic Articles Directive 2007/23/EC; ATEX Directive 94/9/EC on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres; Lifts Directive 95/16/EC). The adapted directives will be re-numbered and will have to be transposed into national law within 2 years

Following the 2011 Green Paper on the EU dual-use export control system, the European Commission is still preparing policy options proposals to rethink the patterns of the export controls system, address the various implementation issues, and establish a system that could ensure equal requirements of exporters at EU level. This Regulation set up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items. The 2011 proposal updates the EU control list (Annex I), makes modifications to the EU General Export Authorisations (Annex II) and introduces delegated acts in order to allow the Commission to rapidly remove destinations and/or items from the scope of existing EU General Export Authorisations.

Market Surveillance The trialogue negotiations on the Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package continue to be blocked in the Council on the controversial marking of origin issue (Article 7 in CPSR), despite repeated efforts by the Greek Presidency to get a mandate to start negotiations with the Parliament on the Package. The proposed Regulation on consumer product safety (CPSR) (COM(2013)78), further amendments to the Commission proposal were published in mid-September 2013 (CPSR; MSPR In its position on the draft report on the CPSR (consumer product safety regulation), Orgalime opposes unclear requirements regarding consumer safety for manufacturers and market surveillance authorities, and requests clearer rules for assessing the safety of products and the avoidance of administrative burdens which do not improve safety. It opposes the addition of new markings which are ineffective, confusing and costly, referring in particular to the Rapporteur’s suggestion for systematic third-party certification, and the Commission proposal to mark all consumer products with an indication of origin.

ENVIRONMENT WEEE AND ROHS DIRECTIVES 2012/19/EU & 2011/65/EU On RoHS, A stakeholder consultation was launched by DG Environment on 20 December 2013 (until 28 February 2014) on an exemption request under RoHS: “Lead and hexavalent chromium in reused spare parts, recovered from industrial monitoring and control instruments placed on the global market before 22 July 2017 and used in category 9 equipment placed on the market before 22 July 2024, provided that use and reuse takes place in auditable closedloop business-to-business return systems, and that the reuse of parts is notified to the consumer. The new RoHS directive came into force as of 2nd January . Monitoring and control equipment will be effective as of 22/7/14. Industrial monitoring and control equipment as of 22/7/17. New Standard now available for the assessment of electrical equipment EN 50581.

As a reminder, DG Enterprise and Industry (ENTR) and DG Public Health and Consumers (SANCO) have embarked on the preparation of a “Market Surveillance Package” with the aim to streamline all market surveillance-related requirements and procedures from the New Legislative Framework and the General Product Safety Directive 2000/139/EC. In theory, the GPSD covers market surveillance in the non-harmonised area for consumer products, while the NLF covers market surveillance in harmonised areas for consumer and industrial products. In practice, there is an obvious overlap in coverage (some products can fall under both directives) and consequently of procedures, which creates confusion for Member States authorities as well as economic actors.

At the recent Europump meeting the discussion was again raised on would pumps be within scope of the revised directive . It is believed that the scope will be the same as the original WEEE Directive until 2018 , i.e. pumps are not in scope. The scope will be extended to any electrical item after 2018.

Recast RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU has been published in the OJEU on 01.07.2011. It will enter into force on 21 July 2011. It will then have to be transposed into national law and will be applicable 18 months after entry into force, on 2 January 2013. Equipment that was outside the scope of Directive 2002/95/EC, but which would not comply with this Directive, may continue to be made available on the market until 22 July 2019. The new RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU had now been adopted by parliament. Swimming pool pumps will be included in scope other pumps are the same as the original RoHS directive. Monitoring and Control instrumentation will become part of the scope 22/07/2014. Industrial monitoring equipment will be part of the scope 22/07/2017. No new substances are banned in the revised Directive.

CHEMICALS (REACH) Amendment of directives 67/548/EEC &199/45/EC

The REACH Regulatory Committee approved the inclusion of nine new substances in the REACH Authorisation List (Annex XIV) on 20 February. The draft proposal and its accompanying annex are available from the secretariat. These substances will be subject to authorisation between 36 and 53 months after the entry into force of the Regulation (according to the transition period specified for each substance). ECHA also published a fifth recommendation for the inclusion of five Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in the Authorisation list, namely: N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), Diazene-1,2-dicarboxamide (C,C’-azodi(formamide))(ADCA), Aluminosilicate Refractory Ceramic Fibres (Al-RCF), Zirconia Aluminosilicate Refractory Ceramic Fibres (Zr-RCF), 4(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol, ethoxylated (4-tertOctylphenol ethoxylates) (4-tert-OPnEO). As a result of this recommendation, the Commission is now expected to adopt a draft amendment to Annex IV which is foreseen to enter into force in February 2015. The use of Trichloroethylene (latest application date: 21.10.2014, sunset date: 21.04.2016) and of Chromium compounds, including chromium trioxide (latest application date: 21.03.2016, sunset date: 21.09.2017) will be prohibited if they have not been authorised for use after the sunset date.

On WEEE, The Commission recently received notifications from Bulgaria, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden regarding their full transposition of the revised WEEE directive (WEEE2). Belgium, Estonia, Latvia, Austria and the United Kingdom have only partially transposed the directive, and the remaining 18 Member States are still expected to inform the Commission on their transposition status. The deadline for submission of these national WEEE notifications was 14 February 2014.

The Recast WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU has finally been published in the Official Journal of the European Union (L 197/38 – 24.07.2012) on 24 July 2012 and entered into force on 13 August. Member States will have to transpose the Recast WEEE Directive into national law by 14 February 2014 at the latest. A “Big issue” is potentially rising • As in RoHS there are ten product groups • An additional group will be added – valid by August 2018 • A lot of pumps will be covered by August 2018 • A strategy has to be drawn and presented to EUROPUMP “member companies” o Options, solutions, costs other effort o Time schedule o Working Group Potentially this could mean that Europump may put in place the structure for a collection scheme to be used a National level.

Also In the UK BEAMA have been approached by the Environmental Agency with regards to Shower pumps . The EA believe shower pumps should be part of the scope of WEEE. To date no contact has been made with the BPMA who will dismiss this claim if approached on the basis of the existing Europump Position paper. Members should contact the BPMA if any issues should arise As a reminder and in summary, the Council agreed a closed scope for 6 years (Parliament agreed an open scope) after entry into force of the recast directive, meaning that recast WEEE would apply only to the 10 existing categories for 6 years. After 6 years, there will be an open scope including in principle “all EEE” with a possible shift to fewer product categories (Parliament agreed 5 categories), but a greater number of products within these categories, also possibly in the mechanical sector. Exclusions from the directive would include equipment designed to be sent into space or for research and development; large-scale stationary industrial tools; large-scale fixed installations; means of transport for persons or goods, excluding electric two-wheel vehicles which are not type-approved; non-road mobile machinery made available exclusively for professional use; medical devices, in vitro diagnostic medical devices and active implantable medical devices. The Commission can propose changes to the scope after an impact assessment during 3 years after entry into force (including the parameters to distinguish between

On the Candidate list, the Member State Committee (MSC) meeting in early December agreed unanimously to add eight Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) to the Candidate List. These substances include Chromium trioxide, acids generated from chromium trioxide and their oligomers, cobalt(II)sulphate, cobalt(II)dinitrate, cobalt(II)carbonate, cobalt(II)diacetate, 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol, which are either carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic (CMR) substances. However the MSC unanimously agreed that the three isomers of trichlorbenzene could not be identified as “PBT-like” substances under Article 57 (f) of REACH and should not be added to the candidate list. These decisions will soon be published on the ECHA website.

Concerning the authorisation of Chromium compounds (including Chromium trioxide), an action was brought to the EU Court of Justice on 8 July 2013, pleading that Commission Regulation (EU) No 348/2013 (amending REACH and prescribing the authorisation of Chromium trioxide) is “unlawful as it is based on a number of manifest errors of appraisal and must be annulled insofar as it does not contain an exemption from authorisation in respect of the use of chromium trioxide in the chromium plating industry”. The action was brought by an association for the preservation of use and benefit of Chromium trioxide and other substances in surface treatment industry (VECCO - Memmingen, Germany) and its members. As a reminder, Chromium compounds, including Chromium trioxide, are one of the 22 Authorised Substances under REACH, and will be prohibited after 21 September 2017 if not authorised for use (latest application date: 21.03.2016, sunset date: 21.09.2017).

Guidance documents can be found at REACH guidance documents (RIPs), and in particular the ECHA guidance on the requirements for substances in articles The BPMA have been working with other members of Europump to come up with Guideline for downstream users in the Pump industry. The final version of this document is available from S Schofield BPMA .

REACH & CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures) regulations both apply on all substances, including nanomaterials. REACH is the best possible framework for the risk management of nanomaterials but more specific requirements within the framework have proven necessary. It is essential to access transparent information on nanomaterials and products containing them, but there is no immediate need to require information about all products in which nanomaterials are used. A main challenge is to establish validated methods and instrumentation for detection, characterisation and analysis, completing information on the hazards of nanomaterials and developing methods to assess exposure to them. The next regulatory review will take place in 2015 at the latest. On the Candidate list, on 3 September, ECHA launched a public consultation on 54 potential Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). The deadline for interested parties to submit comments is 18 October. ECHA has published an updated FAQ about REACH (see new Q&A in the chapter on information in the supply chain), a FAQ on the Implementation of Annex XVII to REACH on restrictions and a Guideline on the interpretation of the concept “which can be placed in the mouth” as laid down in the entry 52 of Annex XVII. Four Commission Regulations amending Annex XVII REACH (restriction on the manufacture, placing on the market and use of certain dangerous substances, preparations and articles) have recently been published in the Official Journal of the EU (L.252/1 (cadmium), L252/4 (lead) - 19.09.2012 & L.253/1 (mercury), L253/5 (phenylmercury) - 20.09.2012). The Downstream Users of Chemicals Co-ordination group (DUCC) has published a report on experience gained with the development of Downstream User Chemical Safety (DU CSA) and DU Chemical Safety Report (DU CSR). On 20 June, ECHA launched a public consultation on its draft recommendation of ten new priority substances to be included in the Authorisation List. The deadline for interested parties to submit comments is 19 September 2012. On registration, the first deadline expired on 30 November 2010 for substances produced or imported in large volumes as well as certain volumes of carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic (CMR) substances and chemicals that are toxic to the aquatic environment. Around 4900 substances were estimated to be registered by the end of November but only 3400 phase-in substances have been registered. 24,675 registration dossiers have been submitted for 4300 substances (including 3400 phase-in substances). Approximately 86% of registrations were made by large companies and 14% by SMEs. Representatives (companies representing non-EU manufacturers) made 19% of registrations. Most of the registrations were made by

Chromium Trioxide This is not law yet and the product can still be used! ECHA recommended that Chromates should be authorized, but it is up to the Commission to take the final decision. There are many consortiums attempting to influence the Commission on the use of Chromium Trioxide. The main consortium is an organization called laxness. For now members who wish to continue using this substance they need to apply to continue using Chromium Trioxide before November 2014 . If you miss this date you will not be able to use this substance after May 2016 Further Guidances: http://ecb.jrc.it/reach/rip/ http://reach.jrc.it/navigator_en.htm http://www.hse.gov.uk/reach/resources.htm

EU INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL DIRECTIVE 96/61/EC

Replaced by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) (No further news) On 11 July the European Commission’s Seville IPPC Bureau published the final draft BAT guidance for pulp and paper installations. On 5 July, the draft final BAT guidance for EU oil and gas refinery operations was also released. The first draft of the Best Available Techniques (BAT) reference document for large combustion plants was published in the last week of June 2013. The directive’s provisions will apply to large combustion plants with a thermal input of over 50 MW in 2016

As a next step, from 7 January 2014 IED will apply to all existing installations previously subject to the seven Directives that IED replaces, including the Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control (IPPC) Directive, Waste Incineration Directive (WID), Solvent Emissions Directive (SED) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Directives (but not Large Combustion Plants (LCPs). The European Commission is currently assessing the possibility of extending the scope of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) to small combustion installations below 50MW. According to the Commission’s proposal, the expected benefits of the revision will affect health and environment, with the inclusion of large combustion plants, reduction of administrative burden, unified application of BAT, and no impact on competitiveness, Completion of first reading in the European Parliament and Council is expected for January 2009, while the end of the co-decision process and publication of the directive is scheduled for December 2010.

ENERGY EUROPEAN COMMISSION PROPOSALS FOR AN ECODESIGN FOR ENERGY-USING PRODUCTS (EUP) FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE – Directive 2005/32/EC Energy related Products (ErP) Directive 2009/125/EC

• Phase 1 by January 1st 2013 and have a MEI of 0.1 (10% cut off) • Phase 2 would be introduced January 1st 2015 and would be a MEI of 0.4 (40% cut off) .

On 11 March 2009, the EcoDesign Regulatory Committee approved new eco-design rules setting efficiency standards for industrial electric motors. Motors will have to meet minimum efficiency standards from 2011. The first phase will be introduced 16th June and motors must comply to IE2 efficiency levels. Tougher standards will apply to large motors from 2015 and all motors two years later, thus cutting the annual energy consumption of these engines by around 135 terawatt hours. A guideline has now been developed by Europump for Circulators and Water pumps and is available from S Schofield upon request. Circulators The first phase came into effect as of January 1st 2013. After sustained lobbying efforts, the European Pump Manufacturers Association EUROPUMP succeeded in negotiating an acceptable text with some important modifications introduced at the last minute: the date of the second stage was set at 1 August 2015 instead of 1 January

The bench mark set by the commission is MEI of 0.7 (70% cut off). Copies of the prEN 16480 standard on how to work out the MEI of a water pump and also the Europump guideline are available from S Schofield upon request. On 7 January 2014, Commission Regulation 4/2014 amending Regulation 640/2009 on Ecodesign requirements for electric motors was published in the EU Official Journal. The amendment focuses on scope exclusions, entered into force on 27 January 2014, but will apply six months later on 27 July 2014. The final report of the VHK Omnibus study on water pumps is still awaited. The review of tolerances used in the methodology for calculating energy efficiency with regard to water pumps was foreseen no later than 1 January 2014.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2013/14 On the state of implementation of the directive, 9 energy labelling measures have been adopted and 6 implementing measures + 2 horizontal measures (online labels & use of tolerances) are under preparation. On the review of the Directive foreseen by 31 December 2014 (Article 14 Directive 2010/30/EU), issues to be considered include the effectiveness of the Directive and of its delegated acts, the contribution of the “advertising provision”, the effectiveness of the “public procurement provision”, and the need for amending the design and content of the label Directive 2010/30/EU The directive entered into force on 20 May 2010, and will apply from 20 July 2011. Points (d), (g) and (h) of Article 5 (responsibilities of suppliers) will apply from 31 July 2011. Similarly to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the text of the directive comes from an agreement reached by the Council and European Parliament on the Commission proposal for the recast of the Energy Labelling Directive. As a reminder, the main aspects of the agreed text include an extension to energy-related products having direct or indirect impact on energy consumption or other essential resources during use, and the layout of the label to remain an A to G colour scale, with the creation of three additional efficiency classes (A+, A++ and A+++) with a limit of seven. A rescaling of classes must take place when a significant proportion of products on the market achieve the two highest energy efficiency classes and when additional savings may be achieved by further differentiating products. The effectiveness of the Directive and the implementing measures must be reviewed by the end of 2014.

Directive on Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU

The Commission has released an EU strategy roadmap which paves the way for assessing the actual achievements in the implementation of the EED against energy efficiency objectives, and for taking possible measures/reviewing the EED to guarantee that these objectives will be achieved. Under the EED, Member States had the legal obligation to submit their indicative targets by April 2013. The indicative targets submitted indicate that about 17% of energy use reduction would be achieved by 2020, and not 20% as is the target. Progress has been achieved since 2010 when it was estimated that the EU would achieve only about a 9% reduction. Nevertheless, a 3% gap appears to remain. A planned Impact Assessment (IA) and initiative should, therefore, provide assessment of the progress towards the 2020 target and analyse whether further action is needed within the 2020 time-horizon. Following the release of the EU Strategy Roadmap, the European Commission has launched a public consultation (running until 28 April, 2014) to seek the opinions of the general public and all stakeholders on the issues related to energy efficiency policies and measures for 2020 and 2030. The replies submitted to this consultation will provide important input to the review of progress towards the 2020 energy efficiency target under Article 3(2) of the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU. The EED review will start in June 2014. The directive entered into force December 4th 2012 and member states need to transpose into national law by 5th June 2014 .

In the UK we have now been advised that the National Measurements Office has been appointed as the market surveillance authority.

Energy Labelling Directive Directive 2010/30/EU

The revised ECOFYS draft interim report on the review of the Ecodesign (ErP) and Energy Labelling (EL) Directives, the results of the online survey (which closed on 31 January) and a report on Task 3 (detailed assessment of potential scope expansion through case studies) were published on 7 February. The Commission’s deadline for comments is 4 March. The final ECOFYS report is expected for release in June 2014. The interim report consists of the first findings and recommendations in order to achieve the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling goals, mainly analysing the coherence with other EU policies, scope expansion, appropriateness of the energy label, the rulemaking process, as well as the means to better address market surveillance and enforceability. On energy labelling in particular, the Commission also published a non-paper on four label design options currently proposed for further testing, and an LSE/IPSOS interim report ‘Study on the impact of the energy label on consumer understanding’. The latter document reports that seven Member States find that the A-G scale used in the original EU energy label remains the easiest to understand, which the ECOFYS draft report also concluded

Directive 2000/14/EC (amended by the Directive 2005/88/EC) (no significant change since last Directives update) The study on the inclusion of Directive 2000/14/EC on Outdoor Noise into the Machinery Directive was due to start soon. However the European Commission is holding internal discussions and no revision of the Machinery Directive is foreseen in the next 2 years. It also confirmed that if a merger takes place, and the OND is integrated into the MD, the latter will also be aligned with the New Legislative Framework. A meeting to start discussions is still expected after the summer. No further details on such discussions are available to date The European Commission proposal for a revision of Directive 2000/14/EC is not expected before 2012.

The European Commission has started the preparation of implementation guidelines, with the objective to ensure a timely and correct implementation of the EED. These guidelines, currently developed in close cooperation with Member States through the EED Committee, are expected to be finalised and published in the first half of 2013 Under article 8 of the Directive enterprises that are non SME are “subject to an energy audit carried out in an independent and cost-effective manner by qualified and/or accredited experts or implemented and supervised by independent authorities under national legislation by –three years after entry into force of this Directive- and at least every four years from the date of the previous energy audit The directive establishes a common framework of measures for the promotion of energy efficiency within the EU in order to achieve the 20% energy efficiency target by 2020 and contains provisions for further improvements beyond that date. Each Member State will have to set an indicative national energy efficiency target, based on, primary or final energy consumption, primary or final energy savings or energy intensity. By 30 June 2014, the Commission will assess the progress achieved and decide whether the Union is likely to achieve energy consumption of no more than 1474 Mtoe of primary energy and/or no more than 1078 Mtoe of final energy consumption in 2020. In relation to public buildings, Member States will have to ensure that as from 1 January 2014, 3 % of the total floor area of heated and/or cooled buildings owned by their central government is renovated each year. The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed to submit themselves to a comparable voluntary undertaking (subject to budgetary and procurement rules). In addition, Member States are required to establish a long-term strategy for mobilising investment in the renovation of the national stock of residential and commercial buildings. Member State will set up an energy efficiency obligation scheme ensuring that, energy distributors and/or retail energy sales companies, achieve a cumulative end-use energy savings target of 1.5 % of the annual energy sales to final consumers (by the end of 2020), with some flexibility on how to achieve this target as long as these do not lead to a reduction of more than 25 % of the amount of the energy savings target. The directive also contains provisions on energy audits and energy management systems, energy metering, billing information, and promotion of efficiency in heating and cooling, energy transformation, transmission and distribution and energy services. The directive should result in a 17% improvement in energy efficiency by 2020 compared to the 20% target, and will be completed by other measures. Both the Council and the European Parliament still have to formally endorse the agreement. Publication in the OJEU is expected for October 2012.

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) New guidelines are expected before 2015 to clarify the meaning of a requirement in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive that all EU states make new buildings ‘nearly zero-energy’ by 2021. A study on “Energy performance certificates in buildings and their impact on transaction prices and rents in selected EU countries” performed by BIO Intelligence was published by the European Commission on 20 June 2013. The study shows a positive impact of the Energy Performance Certificate under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (Directive 2010/31/EU) on sales and rental prices, indicating that better energy efficiency is rewarded in the market. In one of the first studies of its kind to include an analysis of residential markets in Europe, it was found that higher energy ratings result in substantially higher sales or rental values of buildings on average in most of the Member States that were analysed

The UK Government have chosen to introduce the requirements of the Directive through a Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme ( ESOS) . The ESOS scheme information has been circulated for consultation to all necessary stakeholders. The BPMA responded to this consultation. The results of the ESOS consultation will be available by the summer 2014. Also the UK government working with BSI have written a PAS ( Public Available Specification) 51215 for the competency of a lead energy assessor. The BPMA have also made relevant comments to this document, both are available from S. Schofield upon request.

The Commission received 38 expressions of commitment that will be analysed during spring 2014, which will then allow the new Action Groups to emerge. Nine Action Groups have currently been set up. To support the priority areas of the Water EIP under the Framework Programme 7 (FP7) Water Innovation and Demonstration call, 11 innovative demonstration projects were selected at a kick-off meeting organised by DG Research and Innovation on 24 January. These projects will receive €50 million funds from the European research and innovation 2013 budget

Assessing the effectiveness of the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the EU executive concluded that there is a lack of harmonised data, and other significant barriers to the uptake of energy efficient investments. As a reminder, during the implementation period of the directive, the Commission authorised CEN, CENELEC and ETSI, by means of Standardisation Mandate M/480, to adopt a methodology that calculates the energy performance of buildings and promotes their energy efficiency. Environmental footprint initiative DG Environment closed the call for volunteers for the first phase of the environmental footprint pilot scheme on 26 July. Stakeholders who were willing to propose a product category for the development of Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs) or a sector for which to develop Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules (OEFSRs) were invited to participate in this call. On the basis of the list of products and sectors proposed for the pilot scheme, applications were received for the construction of electricity transmission lines, lighting systems, batteries, metal sheets, water treatment, chemistry machinery, cooker hoods, high-voltage circuit breakers, ICT (data storage), ICT (UPS, Uninterrupted Power Supplies), refrigerators, toilets and washing machines.

Appendix 1

Position regarding Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive in Europe Members of Europump gave the following position during a meeting in September 2006. United Kingdom - Out of scope

Germany – Garden pumps included in scope other pumps out of scope Belgium – Garden pumps included ( definition given with electrical plug)

Europump at this stage chose not to get involved, however after discussion it is now felt that the pump industry should engage in phase 2 which will start early in 2014 . The cost per company will be between 15,000-30,000 euros. The cost to any National Association involved will be around 200,000 euros. It is not clear if Europump members will be allowed to join the project late.

Bulgeria- Currently looking at Circulators to be within scope France – No list of products given so it is assumed pumps are excluded Italy – Pumps currently out of scope

Czech rep - Small submersible pumps included

The completed selection of the participants in the pilot will be available at the end of September. The participating stakeholders will then be able to contribute to the OEFSRs or PEFCRs which apply to them. The category or sector rules which result from the pilot phase could become the legitimate PEF product rules or OEF sector rules which all stakeholders in the sector, either in the EU or at international level, can use. For a better understanding of the process for developing these rules, testing verification and communication vehicles, the Commission established a Guidance for the implementation of the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and a Guidance for the implementation of the EU Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF). The Commission plans to kickstart the first wave of the three-year pilot phase in November 2013. A second call for volunteers for feed, food, drink and related products is currently open for the development of product environmental footprint sector rules (PEFSR) and organisation environmental footprint sector rules (OEFSR). Applications could be submitted until 28 March 2014

Poland – Pumps not included in scope

Sweden – Pumps currently out of scope

Austria – Pumps less than 50 mm currently included in scope Netherlands – most domestic pumps included in scope

The pumps are designed and manufactured to the specific license requirements of 3A SSI, confirming the level of thoroughness with which the pump’s product ‘contact’ and ‘non-contact’ parts can be cleaned and the provenance of parts and raw materials.

SynRM² motor achieves IE5 without rare earth magnets ABB have developed the SynRM motor into the new SynRM² technology, further reducing motor losses by 20 percent. The new technology uses ferrite magnets but avoids the need for the expensive rare earth magnets. The result is an offering that is economically and ecologically more sustainable.

The focus is in the 1 – 15 kW power and 1000 – 4000 rpm speed ranges. It will appeal to OEM customers who need motor and drive packages that can be configured flexibly. In many cases, OEMs will be able to change to the new motors without making costly design changes to their machinery.

‘While 3-A is not a statutory requirement, it is a standard increasingly required by the hygiene industry, particularly in the United States,’ says Flotronic’s Managing Director, Jane Waite. ‘The ‘H’ series’ 3-A SSI license ensures product credibility, at home and abroad.’

UK Pump Market Prospects 2014-2018 UK Pump Imports 2003, 2012, 2013 – Top countries * $ million, current prices

UK Pump Market Prospects 2014-2018 By Vivian Woodward of European Industrial Forecasting Ltd Market size averages around $1.5 billion per year (around £975 million at 2010 exchange rates), with parts and repair accounting for almost 39% of the total. Overall market growth is relatively slow and dependent on replacement demand because the installed base is large in relation to the need for expanded plant capacity. Replacement demand is therefore much more important than suggested by parts and repair, and may account for as much as 75% of the market.

Although overall market growth is slow, there can be shifts in the structure of demand because of changes in the relative growth rates of different end uses. For example, public sector construction resulted in a huge growth of demand since 1997 owing to the election of a Labour government, but has now been cut back. The rapid build-up of chemical plant capacity in the Middle East and Asia has adversely affected investment in the UK chemical industry. Also, the rapid development of shale gas/oil in the USA has resulted in a major gain in the competitiveness of USA chemicals relative to the UK and the rest of Europe.

Future Prospects

The US economy has strengthened markedly in the last year, buoyed by the move towards energy self-sufficiency as a result of the rapid development of shale gas and oil. Although growth in China is slowing it is expected to remain above 6% a year. Growth in the Euro area remains weak, and significantly slower than in the UK. Although a collapse of the Euro has been averted, at least in the short-term, it remains to be seen whether the Euro can survive in the longer term since it is responsible for divergent growth rates among member countries; this is because the economically strongest member, Germany, refuses to accept large-scale financial transfers to the weaker Euro economies.

The relative performance of advanced composite wear components in pump & rotating equipment The Relative Performance of Advanced Composite Wear Components in Pumps & Rotating Equipment By: Jason Sedgwick of Lanson Polymers Limited Continued advancements in materials technology, with regard to high performance thermoplastics and composites, have given rise to a far wider acceptance and significantly increased specification for these materials, for use as bearings, wear rings and thrust plates in pumps and rotating equipment.

In recent years, there has been an explosion in the use of composite materials across a whole range of industry sectors, from aerospace to power generation. The use of oriented carbon fibres with a polymer matrix have given designers far more flexibility to replace traditional metallic components with materials that offer specifically tailored properties along with benefits such as weight saving and greater resistance to environmental conditions.

A recent study carried out by a major chemical company, who refurbished an existing 20 year old cooling pump with composite wear rings and reduced clearances, concluded that the energy savings alone, due to increased efficiency and flow rate, equated to £27,500.00 per pump, per year.

In pumps and rotating equipment, more OEM’s and end users are recognising the benefits that PEEK/Carbon Fibre composite wear components can offer over traditional materials, such as metals or rubber.

Along with these direct cost savings, it was also observed there were a number of indirect benefits resulting from the use of composite bearings: • • • • • • •

Materials that have been specifically formulated for pump bearing applications include ingredients such as carbon fibre, PEEK, PTFE and other nano-fillers to provide the optimum balance of properties to cope with high loads, aggressive environments and limited lubrication.

Improved Pump Reliability Increased MTBF Reduced vibration Increased life expectancy of mechanical seal Reduced noise levels Reduced operating costs Reduced environmental impact

Additional features of PEEK / Carbon Fibre composites materials include; Low Friction, Low Coefficient of Expansion, Impact Resistance and Thermal Shock Resistance. The use of PEEK / Carbon Fibre composite materials is now widely accepted by various industry bodies.

Furthermore, because these materials are non-galling / nonseizing, running clearances can be significantly reduced to dramatically improve the efficiency of the pump. Also, in the event of a failure they will act as the sacrificial part, avoiding costly refurbishment of the impeller, shafts and casings.

API/ANSI Standard 610 (Centrifugal Pumps for Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industries) now includes PEEK based composites for use as non-metallic wear rings, with the associated reductions in clearances that can be achieved.

Key benefits that are now being recognised are: – Better Corrosion Resistance in Aggressive Environments – Excellent Abrasion / Erosion Resistance – Reduced Running Clearances, leading to; • Increased Bearing Efficiency • Vibration Reduction • Efficiency Gains • Reduced Power Consumption

On reading this, you may conclude that the use of composite bearings could be the panacea for all applications.

A word of warning, however; it is extremely important to understand all the operating parameters before deciding on the correct material and design. With a selection of materials available, there is not a ‘one fits all’ solution.

The key to correct specification of carbon fibre / composite wear rings is down to a full understanding of the operating parameters and correct specification of fibre orientation and polymer matrix materials.

However, with the correct analysis of application and performance requirements, it is possible to specify advanced composite bearings that will offer significant benefits to users. ■

While the item price for some of the more exotic compounds may seem expensive when compared to traditional materials, there can be huge cost savings in terms of reliability, service life and running costs.

E r. . . i s E r P h a v i n g t h e d e s i r e d e f f e c t ? It’s worth remembering that high efficiency pumps were actually here and available well before January 2013. High efficiency pumps were there to choose and install if the specifier, contractor or installer wanted to use them long before the ErP Directive arrived. But of course there was one major encumbrance – the cost. However worthy and ethically correct it might have been to select and install high efficiency pumps from an energy use reduction or CO2 emission reduction point of view prior to January 2013, most selections were made with a large degree of ‘cost awareness’ as part of that process.

Er….is ErP having the desired effect? By: Gary Wheatley of Wilo UK Back in January 2013 we were all waiting for the EU’s ErP Directive to kick in and change the way pumps were specified and installed for ever. But would it have the desired effect? Would it make a huge dent in emissions across the Europe and help the UK and other Governments to reach their, in the main, optimistic targets for energy efficiency and emissions reductions?

Most manufacturers had developed new highly energy efficient pumps for a number of end uses, but they still had standard efficiency products in their product portfolios which did the job well, could often be cheaper than the high efficiency models and they were more often than not, specified because the capital cost was less and kept the cost of the overall project in question down. Important if you are tendering for a contract where you know that price is an issue. Which it usually is.

You may recall that the EU Commission estimates that inefficient heating system small circulators alone are responsible for about a 20% share of household energy bills and removing them and replacing them with intelligent circulators could save as much as €2.2 billion by 2020 across the 27 European member states – equivalent to the total annual electricity consumption of Ireland!

One year on from the ErP Directive coming into force, it’s worth reflecting and seeing exactly what effect the changes have had here in the UK and seeing whether there has been any noticeable change in the way people think and act. The situation is that the previously applicable A-G energy efficiency classes have been replaced by the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) specified on the pump. The current limit EEI value of glandless circulating pumps installed outside the heat generator - external pumps – not those incorporated in combi or system boilers at this stage – is defined as 0.27. The energy efficiency classes previously specified are superfluous, because as a rule, pumps are better than the minimum requirements of the previously highest rated A pump standard. From August 2015, the EEI limit value will be reduced to 0.23. This will also apply to glandless circulation pumps, designed to operate in newly installed heat generators or solar thermal systems (integrated pumps). In the last implementation stage, the regulations starting from 2020 will also apply to the replacement of integrated pumps in existing heat generators. The regulations apply to all glandless circulating pumps in heating and air conditioning applications with the exception of drinking water circulation pumps.

However frustrating it was to have high quality, high efficiency pumps available for specification right up until the end of December 2012, as a manufacturer, you knew that it was unlikely any of your new pumps were going to be supplied out of the factory and into projects around the country. Until legislation said the old standard pumps were no longer allowed and the new high efficiency pumps must be used, those excellent new pumps would usually stay firmly rooted to the shelves in the warehouse. It was a strange, but understandable example of common sense overcoming common sense!

Many of the high-efficiency pumps available already fulfil all the requirements of three EU regulations from the European ErP (Eco-design) Directive. The regulations stipulate the limit values previously mentioned that become increasingly strict from 2011 to 2020 for the energy efficiency of electric motors, circulation pumps and the hydraulic efficiency of glanded pumps.

It’s proof again, if proof is needed, that legislation is usually needed to ensure that energy efficient measures are introduced. So long as people have the choice of standard or high efficiency, there will always be people willing to buy solely on price! It’s human nature. Now merchants are running out of the very small existing stock of the old uncontrolled pumps, high efficiency pumps are becoming accepted and installed in droves across the UK, including some housing associations undertaking pump replacement programmes to help reduce their tenants’ electricity bills. But this level of installation will have to continue for many years to see the huge number – simply millions - of old pumps, still operating in peoples’ homes, wasting huge amounts of energy. From January 2013, Wilo and other pump manufacturers began to see the previously scorned models begin to sell well. In new projects, there was no choice but to utilise the new high efficiency models. 90% of the small circulating pumps that had been available in 2009 for example, have now disappeared. That’s quite a large proportion of the recognised market to go so quickly but highlights how poor many were when it came to energy consumption. Although the concept of lifecycle costs were not new in January 2013 and had been utilised for many years, it was a concept that

suddenly became very important and the additional costs that inevitably follow the development of exciting new technology – in this case the vastly improved electronics and the arrival of electronically commutated motors (ECMs) - were justified at every turn by the life cycle costs of the new high efficiency, more expensive pumps and the huge savings possible over a ten or fifteen year operational time span that would pay for the increased capital cost of the pump at the outset many times over.

Our forecast assumes that the Euro will survive over the next five years, but that growth will remain subdued in the Euro area relative to the UK. Another assumption is that Scotland votes to remain part of the UK. For the UK, the chart shows a sharp fall in the pump market (excluding parts and repair) 2008-9. Although there was a recovery in 2010/11 this was not sustained. Market size will not achieve the peak reached in 2006 until 2018.

The availability of a highly efficient and ErP compliant range of pumps provides enormous planning security and with the right software, the choice of the most suitable pump can be made quickly and reliably.

The end use sectors hit hardest by recession were chemicals and general industry. Within general industry, demand from construction related sectors, such as building services and construction dewatering, were worst affected. Power generation is the only end use sector expected to grow significantly relative to other sectors, owing to the urgent need to replace existing coal and nuclear plant capacity. However, construction has only recently been authorised for new nuclear power plants, a delay of over 10 years owing to government vacillation over energy policy. The UK is committed to the closure of coal fired power stations over the next few years and power blackouts are a real possibility. Demand from new gas and nuclear plants is expected to grow strongly towards the end of the forecast period. ■

Demand from oil and gas in the North Sea, although in longrun decline, has been boosted recently by some major new projects coupled with expansion of investment in refurbishment. A recent assessment of shale gas prospects indicates large potential, but this is not expected to lead to an early increase in gas supply - mineral rights are owned by the state rather than individuals (unlike in the US), which is a major disincentive.

Again, these were arguments used extensively before January 2013, but arguments that often bit the dust when it came to decision making when using the older standard pumps could save in some cases around 50% of the up-front cost of the pumps that were being recommended, even though they would use vastly more energy and be responsible for far higher levels of emissions.

The arrival of the EU ErP Directive has clearly begun to make significant inroads in the energy consumption figures, and as a result the emissions figures, but it seems fair to say, there’s a long way still to go to hit the targets being demanded. It’s a good first step in the right direction, but there are many more steps to take. The age of the energy efficient pump is very much here and here to stay! ■

Mechanical seals – a fuse in the system negatively impacting the fluid’s capacity to lubricate the mechanical seal.

Mechanical seals – a fuse in the system

The alignment of the motor and shaft can also result in seal damage by causing vibration. A small amount of misalignment can lead to harmful levels of vibration, causing the seal faces to open, premature seal failure and downtime. Additionally, where two pumps are linked by pipework, or sit alongside each other on a mezzanine, vibration in one pump may transfer to the other and cause a seal failure in both pieces of equipment.

By: Chris Dean of AESSEAL plc In any pump, there will usually be four main sealing areas to consider – • • • •

Suction flange Discharge flange Back cover or casing gasket Mechanical seal

Dry-running, when the pump runs out of fluid due to closed suction or delivery valves, a blockage in pipework, or simply an empty tank. This results in the seal faces overheating due to a lack of lubrication and premature failure.

With pump flanges, which are relatively large in diameter and held in place by multiple bolts, a wide surface area seals a high hydrostatic force. Casing gaskets are narrower and again secured by a large number of bolts, providing the necessary closing force. By comparison, mechanical seals have a small cross-sectional surface (about 3mm), see the same fluid, temperature, and pressure, but are the only dynamic components within the equipment. This coupled with the narrow sealing area means that any fault in the system will result in a leak at the mechanical seal. So, while the seal is not necessarily the cause of system failure, it is the first place that the symptoms will occur – a fuse in the system. When maintaining equipment, this is not always taken into account and the seal is simply replaced without investigating the cause of failure, and consequently the problem almost inevitably reoccurs. Whereas if a fuse in a plug repeatedly blew, the electrical equipment itself would be examined to determine the cause. The mechanical seal should therefore be treated as the fuse in the system, an alarm bell that alerts maintenance engineers to possible failure elsewhere.

How can seals be protected?

By using a dual seal system, where two sets of seal faces are installed as an enclosed unit. This unit contains its own circulating fluid, with the lubricant inside the dual seal often at a higher pressure than the fluid in the seal chamber. This means contaminated fluid cannot leak into the seal, leaving only cool, clean and compatible lubricant passing between and protecting the seal faces.

To function effectively, seals prefer to be lubricated with a clean, cool fluid, but this can be compromised by faults anywhere in the system. All seals must be permitted to leak a small amount, and this small amount of leakage, allows a “fluid film” of lubricant to pass between the seal faces keeping the seal faces cool and ensuring long life. However, around 99 per cent of failed seals never “wear-out” and have therefore failed for some other reason demonstrating the need to monitor the whole system.

With dual seals, periodic vibration poses reduced concern as even if the space between the seal faces begins to increase, only clean fluid can pass between them. Similarly, seal faces can open when pumps run away from their best efficiency point and using dual seals eliminates any risk of contamination as the cool lubricant is contained in a separate vessel. The fact that dual seals are self-contained also negates the problems caused by pumps running dry, as the supply of lubrication is uninterrupted.

Why do seals fail?

Seals only ever fail for one of two reasons – the seal faces have worn out, or the seal has suffered damage. If the former, replacing the seal is the logical course of action but if the latter, it’s likely that the rest of the system will need to be investigated in order to diagnose the true cause of damage.

A common cause of seal failure is the use of oversized pumps which are too big for the needs of the system. Excessive flow is compensated with partially-closed discharge valves or “throttling back”. This results in changes to the velocity and pressure of the fluid and therefore hydraulic balance of the equipment by operating away from the best efficiency point. Restricting flow can raise the temperature inside the pump due to the unused energy, affecting seal function and the performance of the lubricant. Throttling back can also damage the seal as the recirculating liquid will follow the path of least resistance and return to the point of suction rather than flowing through correctly, causing a vortex and non-laminar flow at the impeller, instability in the pump shaft and

The benefits of a dual seal system over a single seal arrangement are easily demonstrated when looking at the use of water. In single seal systems, water used to clean or cool the seal faces can reach levels over two gallons per minute, which over a year can exceed one million gallons. This can incur not only significant costs with regard water usage and effluent treatment, but can lead to evaporation costs if the water enters the product. A dual seal system frequently uses less than a gallon a month offering significant cost savings and has a positive impact on the environment.

Meeting new regulations and maximising energy efficiency Meeting new regulations and maximising energy efficiency By: Marek Lukaszczyk of WEG Electric Motors (UK) Ltd

Energy efficiency has never been more important and is high on the industrial agenda. The introduction of the 2005/32/EC Ecodesign Directive has already gone a long way towards reducing carbon footprints, but, with the next phase of the regulations coming into effect in January 2015, there is more to do, and for pump manufacturers to take note. Marek Lukaszczyk, European Marketing Manager at WEG, looks at the new regulations that are due to come into force next year and how pump manufacturers can increase the energy efficiency of their systems.

torque applications like pumps. Therefore, varying the speed of the drive by installing a VSD can help users save energy and money by controlling the speed of the process and adjusting it to the specific load at any time, compared with other techniques for flow control.

The 2005/32/EC Ecodesign Directive regulations were introduced in June 2011 to establish minimum efficiency requirements for electric motors (see the box out for a definition of motor). This Directive is based on the IEC 60034-30:2008 harmonized efficiency levels standards IE1 (Standard Efficiency), IE2 (High Efficiency) and IE3 (Premium Efficiency). The European Ecodesign is also the first Directive that extends beyond the electric motor, including also the utilization of variable speed drives.

Traditionally, physical barriers are used to control the speed of flow, for example, valves are used in pump applications and dampers are used in fan. However, on variable torque applications, such as a fan for airflow control, normally the motor always operates at a fixed speed: for example 1500 rpm for a four-pole motor, and all the while the motor is running at a constant speed, so energy is being used.

Of the 65% of electricity consumption for driving motors, an estimated 20% is wasted in throttling mechanisms that are used to regulate the flow of air and liquids. Therefore, if the system requires varied flow, then installing a variable-speed drive can save a lot of energy, which is key to productivity and it is far more efficient to control the speed of the motor. There are many considerations to take when determining which VSD and drive solution will offer the most energy savings, for example, when and how long will the motor be running for, what is the application and how much does energy cost? ■ From June 2011 until now, the regulations stipulated that motors shall not be less efficient than the IE2. However, the new regulations take it one step further, stipulating that from January 1, 2015 motors with a rated output of 7,5-375 kW shall not be less efficient than the IE3 or meet the IE2 efficiency and be equipped with a variable speed drive (VSD).

Definition of a motor: - electric single speed, three-phase 50 Hz or 50/60 Hz, squirrel cage induction motor - 2, 4 and 6 poles - Rated voltage of Un up to 1000 V - Rated output Pn between 0,75 kW and 375 kW - Rated on the basis of continuous duty operation

If they haven’t already done so, now is the time for pump manufacturers to put in place strategies to meet these regulations.

Motors account for as much as 70% of industry’s energy usage and are responsible for over 40% of total global energy consumption. It’s clear to see that increasing their efficiency will have a massive impact on reducing energy consumption worldwide, and no wonder that much is being done to increase their efficiencies. Selecting motors that have been designed with energy efficiency as a priority and that comply with the latest regulations are the first step in conforming.

(Mechanical seals – a fuse in the system - continued from page 32)

Summary

The secret to long seal life is to lubricate them with cool, clean and stable fluid. However, their narrow cross-section and dynamic nature makes them the fuse in the system – the first thing to fail if something is wrong elsewhere. Vibration, oversized pumps, pump misuse, miss-installation and dry running can all cause a seal to fail, often well in advance of its faces wearing out at the end of its natural life. Using a dual seal system encapsulates the seals in a controlled environment, allows close regulation of the temperature and cleanliness of the lubricant, and ultimately protects the seal from disturbances or failures elsewhere in the system. ■

However, there is another step to take in achieving the most energy efficient set up throughout the drive chain and meeting the regulations, and that is the control of the motors. By optimising the motor using a VSD or invertor enables energy savings of between typically 40% and 60% to be realised.

VSD describes equipment used to control the speed of motordriven machinery. Typically applications do not run at full load 100% of the time, and this is specifically true for variable

Gas separation in industrial processes Additional benefits offered by component recovery by membranes

By: Shaun Hampson of Sterling-SIHI Solvent recovery in the chemical industry as well as circle gas treatment for high-density polyethylene production (HDPE) and vapour recovery units (VRU) for vapour petrol handling in tank farms are some of the membrane processes in industrial gas separation applications. A combination consisting of a membrane process and adsorption is also possible.

Vacuum pump

Compressor or vacuum pump

Compressor and vacuum pump

Condensation with membranes

An advantage of the membrane in contrast to pure condensation is the fact that the membrane process can be carried out at higher coolant temperatures. A condensation temperature of –50 °C is, for example, required for the condensation of toluene from air in order to achieve emission levels of 1 g of toluene/Nm³ of air.

A value of 1 g of toluene/Nm³ of air is already achieved for a condensation temperature of +20 °C if the exhaust gas is initially directed onto a membrane and the permeate, which has been highly enriched with toluene, is subsequently passed through a condenser. A membrane and a vacuum pump, which realises a permeate pressure of 100 mbar, are required in addition to the condenser for the test set-up with membrane. The higher procurement costs are already offset after a short time due to the savings in relation to the operating costs.

Gas separation membranes

The membranes used for exhaust air purification are dense membranes. They have no pores in their surface structure. The substance transport of the molecules through a dense membrane is described by the solution/diffusion model. The component to be separated will be solved in the polymer on the feed side of the membrane, diffuses through the membrane and desorbs again in the gas phase on the permeate side of the membrane.

This principle will be clarified using the example of the vinyl chloride (VCM) recovery process. The VCM loaded exhaust gas, which mainly consists of the monomer, is routed via a compressor and a multistage condensation process. The remaining gas stream is fed to a combustion process. The condensation temperatures decrease from the first to the last stage. The first stage works with normal coolant temperatures, while the final stage works with outlet temperatures, which are significantly under the freezing point. Membrane stages are, in the meanwhile, used worldwide for VCM recovery. In this connection, it is irrelevant whether an existing production system is being converted or a new production system is being equipped, right from the start, with membranes. The compressor, which provides the necessary driving force for the membrane, is already available. The membrane replaces the condensation stages and thus reduces the production operating costs. Inspections [2] have shown payoff periods of less than one year in the case of converted production systems. In the case of a new installation, the condensation, membrane and compressor can be co-ordinated with each other in advance. The payoff period, in this case, is approximately six months.

The driving force for this process is the partial pressure difference of the components. This is ensured, in general, by realising a general pressure difference, which is sufficiently large to ensure a partial pressure differential for a component. It must be taken into account, in this connection, that the component concentration to be separated “moves” through the membrane. If we take the example of a mixture of air and 10 % toluene by volume, the partial pressure of the toluene is approximately 1 bar, if the overall pressure is 10 bar. In the case of an ideal separation through the membrane, the toluene concentration on the low-pressure side is 100 %. The partial pressure is also 1 bar where the pressure is 1 bar. In this case, there would be no driving force available for the toluene in spite of the pressure difference of 9 bar. The driving force needed to economically operate a membrane process depends, in this connection, on the application and required cleaning performance.

Membrane applications

Technologies for gas separation can be subdivided into destructive technologies such as combustion or oxidation and non-destructive technologies. Non-destructive technologies are to be preferred from an economic and ecological perspective, as they allow for organic component recovery. Non-destructive technologies thus offer two process steps in one: The gas separation or exhaust air purification and recovery and thus a possible return of the organic components into the production process.

The importance of delivering fit for purpose sewage pumping stations software. Whilst VSD has a significant value and place in the markets, there is a need to be careful and selective in where and how they are applied on sewage pumping stations. Otherwise they can cost you a lot more than any theoretically savings. 3. Increasing the height of a stop level to reduce static head and work load on a pump to save energy. This one is a disaster and results in such a large build-up of floating, suspended and settled solids that pumps can end up blocking every day. The pumping station turns into a solids detention tank. This can also happen when a VSD is used to control flows to an inlet works on modulating level control, replacing natural sump cleaning through batch flow pumping. 4. Impeller selections – most closed impeller designs have a high efficiency but also a higher probability of blockage. Care needs to be taken applying some of these designs to raw unscreened sewage applications. Any theoretical paper gains in efficiency will soon be wiped out by higher reactive operational costs to unblock pumps.

The Importance of Delivering Fit For Purpose Sewage Pumping Stations By: Andy Wilson of Hidrostal Ltd

The best waste water pumps in the world will still fail and cost you dearly if they are installed into poor systems.

There are many factors which can cause a sewage pumps to block and fail. When considering the whole life cost for probably 80% of sewage pumping stations, there is some conflict between what is good for energy saving and what is good for reliability within the pumping station. So what is best practise and where is the cross over? Many of the things that can save energy in a sewage pumping stations also reduce the chances of the pumps from blocking and should be considered as overall best practice, namely:

Tough decisions and challenges face us at design stage, like the cost of pulling rags out of pumps daily, compared to a little process inconvenience or loss in any theoretical energy savings. Remember the biggest energy savings are possible by ensuring the pumps do not block.

1. Maintaining NRV’s to ensure they do not allow recirculation back in to the wet well. This reduces pumping time, saving energy. The also means pumps should draw levels down to a stop position more frequently, flushing out the wet well and reducing the chances of blockage. 2. Maintaining NRV’s to avoid restriction to forward flow prevents additional line losses and the associated additional energy to overcome these, the same applies to old isolation valves which may close on their own through vibration. Additional restrictions generated from a partially closed NRV or isolation valve will increase back pressure on the pump. This forces the pump more left hand side of curve, where lower velocity, increased recirculation and backflow within the pump will attract blockage. 3. A sealed wet well that does not allow ground water to infiltrate will pump less and save energy. The pump also draws down to stop level more frequently, flushing out the wet well and reducing the chances of blockage. 4. A rising main that does not leak will save energy by pumping less. A rising main with leaks will develop air pockets which create additional back pressure. This forces the pump to operate more left hand side of curve, where lower velocity, increased recirculation and backflow within the pump will attract blockage. 5. Maintain a tight tolerance between the impeller and casing. When tolerance on a wear ring or adjustable liner has been allowed to open up too much, the pump will experience gap leakage and recirculating flows. This characteristic will increase both pump energy consumption and probability of blockage.

Prerostal Self Cleaning - 40 Years of Proven Fit For Purpose Waste Water Handling

Waste water pumping stations seldom achieve a fit for purpose, sustainable operating cost outcome unless all the influences on the pump within the system are considered.

The cost to unblocking sewage pumps is one of the largest contributory factors to unscheduled pump maintenance today. The pie chart illustrates how this impacts on the whole life cost when small sewage pumps block once a week. You can see unscheduled maintenance surpasses any arguments about energy saving quite significantly.

Where the paths start to diverge are:

1. Reducing the number of start stops to save energy. However, this also reduces the amount of surging, purging of air and self-cleaning to the pumps and rising mains, increasing the probability of blockage. 2. Variable Speed Drive (VSD) can save energy on process pumps but not on many raw sewage applications, particularly those with a high static head component to the duty, which is the majority of inlet and network pumping stations. The energy consumption operating on VSD here is higher. This is due to the poor pump efficiency on turndown and a lack of significantly lower friction head to offset this, unlike in low static head and closed loop pump systems. The probability to block sewage pumps through poor application of VSD technology is significant and probably one of the reasons why most major VSD manufacturers now host a whole suite of blockage prevention programs within their

True Life Cost of a 6 kW Sewage Pumping Station with 1 Blockage per Week

The physical cost of pulling rags out of sewage pumps in the UK is unknown but is estimated to exceed £100 million per year. The carbon footprint associated with this activity is also not insignificant, when you consider loss of energy

when a sewage pump is not free flowing and the vehicle emissions associated with vans and cranes frequently visiting sites. Talk of applying energy efficient white goods style labelling to sewage pumps does seem to be a little meaningless, when the systems these products are being installed into will seldom allow any theoretical energy benefit to be realized. Whilst labelling may give people a warm feeling inside it could serve to distract resources away from tackling the root cause of the major carbon consumption in this market sector – blockage. Only improved system engineering, approved signature solutions or new regulated standards for design can achieve this, engineers need to raise the bar here. ■

Membranes, absorption and adsorption Membranes can be used instead of an adsorption via activated carbon. The advantages are obvious where a simple adsorber is replaced by a membrane: The membrane separates the organic components and they can be returned to the production process. In the case of an adsorber, the components are adsorbed and disposed of after saturation. Furthermore, the activated carbon must be replaced at regular intervals.

GOULDS

An additional application area is gasoline vapour recovery in petrol depots. The proportion of petrol vapours in the exhaust air during the handling of petrols lies at approximately 600 up to 1500 g/Nm³. Intake and compression of the exhaust air, absorption of the petrol vapours in a gas scrubber and separation of the remaining hydrocarbons via membranes. The compression pressure for the gas scrubber and membrane lies between 3 and 6 bar if liquid ring machines are used in the system. This pressure is maintained until the exhaust air exits the membrane. On the one hand the gas scrubber, which is operated as an absorbing agent with petrol from the petrol depot, can clean the exhaust air to a satisfactory level. On the other hand, the membrane requires this overpressure in order to achieve the required purities. The membrane is, for this reason, also supported by a vacuum pump; the pressure lies between 50 and 150 mbar. Outlet concentrations of less than 5 g/Nm³ are achieved with these types of systems. The outlet concentrations, which can be achieved with membranes, depend on the selectivity of the membrane used. The driving force for the membrane is, as described above, the partial pressure difference of the component to be separated. This continuously decreases within the membrane over the course of the process due to depletion. For this reason, it is frequently not economical to achieve high purities with a single-stage membrane system. Highly selective membranes are now available; their flow is often very low and their use only meaningful if a corresponding pressure ratio can be realised across the membrane. A practical implementation must always take into account the procurement costs and operating costs with the specified outlet concentrations so that it has the possibility to become an established process. For this reason, it is meaningful to also consider combinations, which allow for a simple and economical solution. ■

Pump management – the way forward? The further ahead or more proactive you can become in this process, the more professional you appear.

Pump Management – The Way Forward?

• What customer relationship wouldn’t be strengthened by fault analysis that highlights the breakpoint where a new product would have a greater impact than a failing older unit? • Or how you may justify on-going investment using a reliable forecast prediction of repair spend, based on recorded trends?

By Gary Downes of Solutions in I.T Ltd It is largely recognised in the industry that the relationship between service centre and the majority of customers is a reactive one. If the customers have breakdowns or other repair problems, then you have lots of work to do, and conversely, if your customers have few problems, then your business is quiet. The peaks and troughs of your business are therefore expected, and you generally hope that you have more peaks and fewer troughs in order to make money and survive, and indeed most of you have done so successfully for many, many years.

Pump Management is at its heart a sales tool to ensure your business continues to operate profitably in all trading conditions, a way of differentiating the type of work you do and the service you offer with your competition. In technology terms, Pump Management is controlled by a central database that maintains and analyses every pump incident or service call. When this central database is an integrated module of job management, service delivery and stock control the true benefits are realised in the customer/supplier relationship.

Well, while this undoubtedly is a fact of your business, there is more that can be done to ensure that your level of business stays high and that your customer is kept both happy and loyal. Pump Management can certainly be part of this, as it encourages preventative maintenance as opposed to fixing failed machines – put simply, you maintain machines so that they don’t breakdown as often!

Whichever internal systems you use, whether business is conducted with an elaborate selection of spreadsheets, a disparate selection of software programmes delivering separate solutions in each department, a bespoke piece of software written especially for your application or an off-theshelf industry application, having access to centralised information is imperative. The moment your data is in one place you can allow the creative process to begin. With a list of every pump, its manufacturer and type, parts used and the response time you have achieved, if you choose to configure reports they will instantly show how your business is striving to reduce costs for the client and what measures you are taking to improve the situation. You may consider automated alerts in the form of on-screen pop-ups, directed emails or text messages sent directly to your customer keeping them informed and up-to-date.

Pump Management is a method of taking control, an approach that is prevention rather than a cure. In essence, you take control of your customer’s inventory by logging the technical details of each pump, its location, its on-site application, environmental information and of course, a photograph of the item in-situ. Having logged the details, you need to schedule maintenance visits with the customer to ensure that the pump will continue to run smoothly. Of course it is unlikely, if not impossible to eliminate breakdown completely by more efficient monitoring, so another vital part of pump management is ensuring that spare parts and replacement units are also available. The customer’s expectation and measurement of your performance will be based on your promises to reduce downtime, lost production and disruption in their business. With this preventative approach in place, your promises will be substantiated by measurable and sustainable service level agreements based on fact.

Of course, each of these features is another reason why the client will stay with you instead of considering the competition, sticky customers that continue to play a part in your success. ■

You would expect a Pump Management system to deliver: • A schedule of maintenance work against each pump • Track and report on faults, recurring equipment issues • Provide evidence on spares and replacement units held against active supported units • The amount of downtime experienced by the customer against your own response rates

The truth is, in life no one likes surprises, especially when they come in the form of unexpected costs of an emergency repair or replacement. If you set the customers expectation ahead of time this leads to a happier, controlled situation.

Centrifugal pumps offer great potential savings Centrifugal pumps offer great potential savings By: Christoph P. Pauly of KSB Pump systems are a key technology for numerous applications in diverse industries. They account for a major share of all electricity consumed for industrial purposes. That is why users are now much more concerned about their equipment’s power consumption than they were only a few years ago. Depending on the scope of analysis, the potential savings on energy in current industrial systems range between 30 percent and 40 percent. In concrete terms, the German Energy Agency (dena) has calculated that pump system operators in Germany could save as much as 14 billion kWh per year. That would translate into annual savings of 1.12 billion Euros for the operators themselves and a drop of 7.7 million tonnes in CO2 emissions.

Figure 2: Trimming an impeller to the exact operating point

Some service specialists are able to utilise special data loggers (Figure 3) to record relevant data over a representative period of time. These instruments measure the flow rates, pump suction and discharge pressures and electrical data such as momentary motor outputs. Pump bearing housing vibrations can also be measured. This data provides information on the wear state or condition of each pump, hence enabling identification of misalignment, shaft deflection, unbalance and imposed vibrations from the periphery. All these factors have major effects on pump availability and service life. Service specialists use the recorded data yielded to carry out a detailed analysis. They make suggestions on various cost-cutting measures and calculate the anticipated payback periods. Then, if an operator decides to implement one of the proposed measures, the service specialists will perform a second set of measurements on conclusion of the project in order to demonstrate and validate the measure’s success.

There are many reasons why much too much energy is still being wasted in connection with pump operation. In processing facilities and refineries, for example, maximum priority is attached to productivity and getting back on stream following repairs. Often, this is achieved at the expense of a hydraulically optimised system. Frequently, when piping systems have been rearranged for productionrelated reasons, the installed pump sizes are not subsequently adjusted to match. Oversized and undersized valves, inadequate pipe radii and incrusted pipe crosssections throttle the flow and contribute extensively to the waste of energy. Also, many large chemical facilities have their own power plants and therefore enjoy access to lower cost electricity.

Figure 3: Data loggers record all of a pump’s relevant data for weeks at a time.

In practice, a detailed analysis of a pump’s operating behaviour often reveals that it is not running at its optimal, energy-efficient operating point. A common cause for operating outside the design conditions is due either to system oversizing or to normal temporary variations in flow rate arising from system processes. If power input is not adjusted to demand via some form of system control, valuable energy is wasted. The pump’s power input can be matched to the precise requirements of the system by altering its speed. In the case of closed-circuit systems, energy savings of up to 60 percent can be achieved depending on the load profile. The industry offers a variety of technical options which allow energy consumption to be influenced via speed control.

Figure 1: Selection chart of the standardised chemical pump series MegaCPK for 2-pole motors running at 50 Hz / 2,900 rpm

For new installations, it is relatively easy to select a hydraulically optimal pump. As long as the requirements to be met by the pump are known, a very energy-efficient pump set can be chosen with great accuracy by way of pump selection programs which most manufacturers have on hand for their customers. It is, of course, essential that a large number of closely spaced pump sizes be available to the user (Figure 1), and that the impeller diameters (Figure 2) be trimmed to match the required operating point. It is also of elementary importance that no safety margins be added: even efficient pumps cannot run economically if they are used in the wrong operating mode.

These potential savings can be demonstrated using a practical example. An industrial pump transports water with Antifrogen for cooling purposes. The required head is 38 metres. The required cooling water flow rate depends on the process involved and ranges between 200 and 300 cubic metres per hour. During fixed speed operation, the pump consumes 215,467 kWh a year. Assuming a cost of 8 pence per kWh, this adds up to £17,785.56 per annum. However, if the same pump is equipped with a speed control unit with a simple differential pressure control setup keeping the discharge pressure constant, a saving of some £1,568.59 annually can be realised. These potential savings can be

If a system has been in service for a number of years, it is not quite so easy to determine its actual saving potential. The first step is to ascertain the pump’s present operating point and mode of operation since all other cost-cutting measures depend on them. Professional assistance can be quite useful in this connection.

Centrifugal pumps offer great potential savings expensive shielded cables would reduce the achievable savings and extend the payback period. Consequently, the job of tapping into the savings potentials that speed control has to offer for pumps in potentially explosive atmospheres is reserved for the operators’ own instrumentation & control departments.

exploited with almost any standard frequency inverter.

Potential savings are dependent on the system’s load profile. The most significant cost reductions are achievable if the pump in question frequently operates under low flow conditions. Speed control will not deliver cost savings on pumps where the total volume flow rate is required continuously.

In addition, the available range of off-the-shelf variable speed systems for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is still rather small. Indeed, the operators’ myriad different work standards make it nearly impossible for pump manufacturers to economically adapt their “motor-mounted” variable speed systems to the respective set of requirements and then get them certified. The same applies to the new high-efficiency drive motors. While they do generate less heat and would therefore be ideal for such applications, their working principle often makes them dependent on an accessory frequency inverter (FI).

Figure 4: Standardised chemical pumps like this MegaCPK have already achieved a level of efficiency that could hardly be further improved.

Modern centrifugal pumps (Figure 4) have already achieved a level of efficiency that can hardly be further improved. When they appear to be consuming more energy than necessary, it is very probably due to the fact that too little attention has been paid when the pump duty was specified. No pump can operate more economically than its surrounding system allows. ■

Of course, one option would be to install the FI outside of the potentially explosive atmosphere. That, however, is a rather unpopular choice, because it would involve extra cabling runs to bridge the longer distances between motor and frequency inverter. The additional cost of sine filters and

M a k e t h e m o s t o f t h e p u m p m a n u f a c t u r e r ’s engineering capabilities users with a skills set that may not otherwise be available from unrelated equipment suppliers. A single source of supply is becoming the norm rather than the exception. The skills in providing consultancy in specification, full design, procurement and fabrication in-house, field expertise upon plant commissioning, and after sales support for the full planned life of systems often resides with the pump manufacturer. There is also the added benefit to the customer of only having to deal with one supplier, and one invoice to pay.

Make the most of the pump manufacturer’s engineering capabilities Brian Hubbard of Cat Pumps (UK) Limited In any liquids processing system or package containing one or more pumps there may be several other components and technologies that will influence the pump’s performance, including tanks, valves, protection devices, pipework and filtration. It is possible for the installer and user to find themselves working with several disparate suppliers of individual parts which ultimately need to work together as a whole.

OEMs, pump resellers and end users, whether or not they have in-house engineering resources, are now looking for manufacturers and suppliers that have embraced the concept. It is the pump manufacturer who is often best able to provide their pumps that are fully assembled and tested as skid-mounted packages complete with correctlymatched electric motors, pressure detection devices and associated installation accessories such as pipework, valves, safety devices and instrumentation. In this way, the pump is designed and engineered for the final application, and given the best possible chance of fulfilling the end user’s requirements and long term expectations.

The pump may not operate correctly if the interaction of the components has not been fully understood, leading to loss of performance, lower efficiency and increased noise. Most importantly, this can add cost and delays when moving from the design and specification stages to final installation and commissioning. Then, over time, responsibility for maintenance and rectification costs as well as possible warranty claims will become blurred, as accusing fingers are pointed at the innocent pump and its blameless supplier. As more and more end-users shed whole tiers of their technical expertise and lose experience through retirements and cost saving plans, pump manufacturers and suppliers are being called upon to provide far more input than simply the supply of bare-shaft pumps.

Many pump users are coming to realise that this knowledge and expertise adds significant value. At one time the pump manufacturer was somehow expected to provide free consultancy services in order to win an order. But more customers are now realising the benefits of paying for this valuable facility, either as an up-front design service or incorporated into the final purchased product price, as it more than pays for itself in operational savings over time. ■

It is a scenario that has increasingly been identified and resulted in certain companies providing engineering design services and complementary products alongside their core ranges of positive-displacement pumps. By their very nature, differing pump types have particular requirements of system design and correct choice of associated components. For example, with the global pump market being dominated by the roto-dynamic pumping principle it is not unusual for designers and specifiers to go down this route as their default choice. However, roto-dynamic pumps have limitations in respect of the pressure they can generate and their overall operating efficiency. When selecting and installing these products care must be taken in accurately calculating heads and losses to ensure the pump operates at the optimum point on its curve to avoid cavitation and greater inefficiencies.

Conversely, reciprocating positive-displacement (PD) pumps are far more forgiving of minor pressure variations as they deliver a known and predictable fixed flow rate at very high energy and volumetric efficiencies. However, this type of pump uses a very different technology and as a result, it requires the specifier and user to change their mindset when designing a pumping system. This is where the engineering consultancy capabilities of the manufacturer can prove invaluable. For instance, in the installation of any high pressure pumping system, safety needs to be given the highest priority as the pumping of liquids at high pressure brings its own considerations. A triplex PD pump will continue to pump liquid even when the outlet is restricted or completely closed off, so the flow ‘has to go somewhere’. For this reason it is recommended that a pressure regulator valve is fitted as a primary pressure protection control device. Also, design of pipe runs, instrumentation and pump positioning must also take account of the type of pump to be installed as these requirements differ according to the pumping principle employed. It is advice such as this which can make all the difference to the success of an installation and the functionality of the system. Having an assembly of matched fluid handling technologies within a single organisation provides end-

Talking turbine pumps –

1. They have straight differential head – flow curves. 2. Power increases with pressure not flow. 3. They can handle viscous liquids better while being good with thin liquids. 4. Their pump action is relatively low shear. 5. They can pump liquids with up to 20% entrained gases. 6. With no axial thrust loads they have lower NPSH requirements as much less damage is caused in such situations. 7. However, they are not so good with solids. 8. And they would not normally be used to deliver large volumes of liquid.

By: Malcolm Walker of AxFlow Ltd Malcolm Walker takes a practical look at turbine pumps, how they work, their pros, cons and what they offer the process engineer.

Of all the liquid pump types used in process and off shore applications, turbine pumps are perhaps the least well known. As a result of this general ignorance, turbine pumps present a vastly underutilised solution in the liquid engineering toolbox.

One of the main reasons for the general ignorance of turbine pumps is caused by the fact that they fall between two stalls; being something of a hybrid sharing characteristics akin to both centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. This definition difficulty has left them as outsiders in both the Centrifugal and Positive Displacement (PDP) camps - the “Billy No Mates” of the pump world. We cannot even agree on their name, variously describing them as turbine, peripheral turbine, regenerative turbine or even centrifugal.

There are number of applications where turbine pumps can be used and these applications stem from either their hydraulic characteristics or the range of bespoke constructions and materials.

As a consequence we do not use them because we do not understand them, which is a shame because they are in fact quite straightforward and have many advantages. The basic operational principle of the turbine pump is simple, working in a way that many of us believed a pump functioned before we were initiated into the mysteries of radial flow centrifugal pumps. Simply put; in the centre of the pump chamber is a turbine containing multiple buckets around its “periphery”. These buckets carry the liquid round the chamber until it has to leave the pump at the “shut-off” point, making the turbine pump not dissimilar to an enclosed water wheel. The only slight complication occurs as the result of the liquid recirculating within the buckets as the turbine rotates. This constant circular “regeneration” of velocity produces increasing pressures that far surpass that of a radial flow centrifugal pump impeller of the same diameter (Fig.1).

Low Flow – High Head

The main use for turbine pumps comes from their low flow high head capability (Fig.2) which compares a single stage ISO 2858 centrifugal curve with that of a turbine pump. The centrifugal pump is fitted with a 5.5 kW motor and the turbine a 2.2kW. It’s pretty clear where the turbine pump excels.

But what about multistage centrifugal pumps? Well, the truth is that if a mass produced multistage centrifugal pump can be used, then it will invariably be less expensive. However, if there is anything slightly unusual about the application, be it a chemically aggressive liquid, an ATEX zone or high liquid temperature then a turbine pump will be the better option.

Importantly, there is no contact between the turbine’s surfaces and the pump chamber because they are separated by a thin film of liquid on their faces and outer edge at the shut-off point. This means that the liquid is not completely trapped and therefore turbine pumps are deemed to be using kinetic energy to shift the liquid and not “displacing” a fixed volume. Of course the key word here is “completely” as a thin film of liquid is not very much of an interface and consequently nearly all of the pump’s characteristics are the same as those of a positive displacement pump.

Difficult Liquids

Taking magnetically driven turbine pumps (Fig.3) as an example, models available in polypropylene, PVDF, 316 SS and Hastelloy make them chemically resistant. However, it’s

Ta l k i n g t u r b i n e p u m p s pumps have been in use for decades. The most commonly encountered are vertical multi-stage pumps used in the municipal water and off shore sectors pumping water at very high heads. However, their use is much more widespread. They can be found cooling all manner of equipment from x-ray machines to VSD assemblies, CIP duties, transferring small flows over long distances, as tanker off-loading pumps, vapour recovery systems, for filter systems where higher pressures are encountered, spray bar applications, soda re-circulation in fast food outlets, shower booster pumps and LPG distribution to name just a few. The list of industries in which turbine pumps can be found includes petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food production and food dispensing, medical, laboratory, military, nuclear generation and general chemical.

(Talking turbine pumps - continued from page 42)

the low shear capabilities and similarity to PD pumps which delivers the greatest advantages. For instance, historically one of the biggest uses for turbine pumps was in pubs when thousands of them delivered beer from the cellars to the bar without thrashing it into undrinkable foam. This was decades before the advent of cheaper gas pumps. Turbine pumps will handle viscous liquids up to 150 cP, and in fact they are better suited to viscous liquids as they become more efficient. This makes them good for caustic solutions as fluctuations in the flow are a great deal less than a centrifugal pump, particularly if the caustic is subject to varying temperatures. Lastly, their ability to cope with 20% entrained gas makes then very useful in situations involving turbulent flows and they can even be used to mix separate streams of liquid and gas together.

To sum up, turbine pumps provide an extremely simple solution to a host of low-flow and challenging pumping applications. Their use should be more widespread and could be if engineers had a greater appreciation of the technology and were willing to look just outside their comfort zone more often. ■

Improving dry-run resistance of pump wear parts through optimized composite materials During the test several parameters are continuously recorded: The rotating speed (variable setting), the torque, the side load, the temperature based on a thermocouple placed inside the composite wear ring at a radial distance of 2 mm from the wear surface. The coefficient of friction is derived from the torque meter and rotating speed. The wear rate is obtained by measuring the weight loss after several test runs with different PV levels and testing durations (in figure 2, any data point is given by at least 3 tests).

Improving dry-run resistance of pump wear parts through optimized composite materials By: Eng. FrĂŠdĂŠric Perrottet - Greene, Tweed/Switzerland Nicolas Weibel, PhD - Greene, Tweed/Switzerland Alessandro Balvedi, PhD - Greene, Tweed/Germany

Test Results

Figure 2 shows the PV ranges over which the wear rate of each material is linear. This linear relationship demonstrates that the wear mechanism is similar over this PV range. At higher PV levels, the relationship is not linear anymore as the wear mechanism changes (often due to surface melting) leading to much higher wear rates and the destruction of the bearings.

Introduction

Over the last 20 years, the centrifugal pump and turbocompressor industries have validated the benefits of using internal wear parts, such as bearings, wear rings and labyrinth-seals, designed with high-performance composite materials. Particularly centrifugal pumps used in applications with risk of intermittent dry-run and/or precarious lubrication have found in high-performance composites a reliable solution to mitigate the collateral damages caused to other sensitive parts of the pump (shaft, impellers, mechanical seal etc) during upset conditions. The performance of a wear material operating in dry-run condition can be quantified by its wear rate as function of PV (pressure x velocity). Suppliers of wear parts strive to develop materials with high PV limits that are able to withstand occasional dry-run conditions. This article discusses the influence of the configuration of thermoplastic composite bearings on their dry-run capability. Tests indicate that by optimizing its configuration (like the orientation of the fibers and the polymer selection), a composite-made bearing can have its PV limit and dry-run capability more than doubled, therefore extending the operating condition envelope and increasing the reliability of centrifugal pumps.

Testing Equipment

Figure 2 - Wear rate of different materials as a function of PV. Graph shows the maximum PV levels for each material under dry-run conditions for 6 hours

To assess the tribological behavior in dry run conditions of different composite materials used as wear materials in centrifugal pumps, a testing jig has been created (see Figure 1). A 18 kW motor is driving a shaft coupled to a torque meter and an overhang sample holder placed in a housing that can apply a lateral load of up to 10 kN. The composite wear ring is stationary and slides against a rotating steel shaft whose surface is hardened to 55 HRC. With a shaft of Ă&#x2DC;68.5 mm, a rotating speed of 3600 rpm and wear ring length of 38.1 mm, a side load of 202 N leads to a PV @ 1 MPa*m/s.

Mat A is designed to have a high wear resistance in abrasive fluids. In this dry run test it performed the worst.

Mat B is designed for high differential pressures and temperatures. As long as the PV is kept below 0.45 MPa*m/s, very little wear is observed in this dry run test. Mat C, D are composites based on a high-performance thermoplastic matrix known for its excellent dry run capabilities. Nevertheless, Mat C from Supplier A showed more severe damage at a PV of 0.6MPa*m/s than Mat D (our own material) with a PV of 0.9MPa*m/s, even though the fibre architecture and constituents were identical. This difference in performance is likely due to differences in the manufacturing process of the materials. This shows that the wear resistance of a composite material depends not only on its architecture but also on its manufacturing process. Figure 1 - Testing jig for comparative dry run wear evaluation. The composite wear ring is hold stationary, while a rotating steel shaft is pressed against the ID of the ring

Mat E, is also based on the same thermoplastic matrix as Mat C and D. It has been engineered to ensure 3D reinforcement due to its braided fibre architecture.

Specialist Insurance Services for BPMA Members • What the organisation is doing—its type of risk operation; How it does it—its processes, controls and staffing

FREE Insurance Health Checks for BPMA Members

• Arrangements; What is being done to control its risk?

The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) has arranged an additional insurance service for its members insurance through its scheme provider “Blythin & Brown”.

• A review of the products manufactured to ensure everything is correctly insured. • Environmental risks are examined and any potential exposures identified.

Not only have members access to exclusive insurance products and competitive premiums through the arrangement, there is now available a FREE Insurance health check of their current insurance arrangements. This is to ensure members’ insurance policies meet the requirements of the business. “As businesses grow” says Richard Gibson the BPMA Scheme Director of Blythin & Brown. “it is very easy for their activities to fall out of the scope of their insurance policy. This could be devastating for a business and could leave to them being uninsured or underinsured if they have to make a claim.

• Consequential loss cover reviewed to ensure business continuity can be maintained in the event of a major loss.

The objective is to get inside your business, to find where the risks lie and then to classify them according to probability. We can then look to separate different types of risk with a view to either insuring them under specialist policies or agreeing to self insure where the risk is low. If a company for example has a high quality health and safety programme and low claims experience, why should it be pooled with all the poor risk firms in the sector?

The BPMA appreciate that some members may have been with their current insurance providers for many years and are perhaps not looking to change. So for these members this service is still of benefit to you! It will provide you with peace of mind that the service, premiums, cover and advice that you currently enjoy is the best available.

Stage Two—Design and Placement We discuss with our panel of specialist insurers to build an insurance policy that matches your business needs. We can also guarantee that where applicable:

Insurance health checks through the BPMA can be done at anytime during the year. In addition, for members that arrange an Insurance Health Check and then at the next renewal incept a commercial combined policy with Blythin & Brown, they will be entitled to the equivalent of a 10% discount of their BPMA membership fee on their insurance premium in the first year.

• Bespoke policy cover will be negotiated.

• Policy warranties will be kept to a minimum to ensure you can comply with the terms and conditions.

• Generous premium discounts negotiated where companies are proactive in their risk management and health & safety arrangements.

In the event of a potential ruinous event — perhaps a major fire at your premises or legal action against you for damages— insurance provides essential business protection to help the business not only survive but restore the business to a sound footing.

Book your Insurance Health Check today by contacting Richard Gibson on 07510 695335 or rgibson@blythinandbrown.co.uk. For more information please speak with the BPMA on 0121 601 6350.

This is why that we at the British Pump Manufacturers Association Ltd are pleased to make available comprehensive insurance that is designed to reflect the particular risks of our industry. The policy offered by our partner Blythin & Brown Insurance Brokers Ltd has the flexibility to meet most needs. But importantly we have negotiated a minimum standard of cover that will be included in their package.

(Improving dry run resistance - continued from page 47)

Compared to Mat C and D, the 3D fibre architecture of Mat E gives it a much higher mechanical support and limit, resulting in a much higher Max PV rating.

The BPMA guarantee to you is:

• Competitive Premiums - We ensure our premiums are always competitive each year. • Quality Policy Cover - We will always ensure that your policy is tailored to your requirements at the most competitive premium. • Insurers - We will only use quality insurers with a good financial strength. • Business Continuity - Policies automatically include a loss adjusting service to ensure in the event of a major loss your claim is actioned within 24 hours of the incident. • Expert Knowledge - You have access to a small dedicated broking team for BPMA. This consists of individuals who understand your industry and can offer the correct advice and support when needed.

Conclusions

Thermoplastic composite materials are a proven solution for wear parts in centrifugal pumps operating in harsh conditions such as intermittent dry-run or abrasive medium. In this paper it was shown that several factors affect the performance of a thermoplastic composite material running in dry-run condition, with consequent influence over the reliability and performance of the pump.

It was shown that, by optimizing the architectural configuration of a composite material, its dry-run capability (maximum PV value) can be doubled. This allows pump manufacturers to increase the reliability of their machines over a broader PV range.

The Insurance Review We provide a three stage approach which audits your business insurance exposures, risk management, credit risks and healthcare. Our comprehensive review consists of the following:

Results also demonstrated that two materials with identical matrix material and fibre architecture may have significant variations in performance due to different manufacturing process.

Stage One—Risk Profiling your business Rather than just seeking the cheapest price from other insurers on a “like for like basis” we look to change the underwriters perception of a company’s exposure by risk profiling. This means examining:

A high-performance composite material alone is not synonymous of improved wear resistance for a given pump wear part. The right selection of the composite recipe, architectural configuration of its fibres and manufacturing process are crucial in order to achieve the performance expected by pump manufacturers for these materials. ■

Ta k i n g o n t h e c o p y c a t s The pump industry in the UK have become aware of the growth and prevalence of these illegal imports and manufacturers such as Grundfos are playing their part along with other partners and the industry pressure group BPMA (British Pump Manufacturers’ Association) to raise awareness and help to protect the industry.

Taking on the copycats By: Linda Dingley of Grundfos Pumps Ltd Today pumps are involved in actively delivering many of the aspects of our daily lives that we all take for granted. Their roles are hugely variable and involve assisting in the fulfilment of simple everyday tasks on the one hand – like for example when we want take a shower, do the washing-up or enjoy the benefits of a pleasant ambient temperature in our homes and places of work.

Working in tandem with the NMO (National Measurement Office) - the nominated governmental body with overall responsibility to ensure the verification of goods in these instances - there has been an increasing intensity of dialogue between the parties to help to make them aware of the growing problems with illegal pump imports from countries including China.

Additionally, they are also involved in less obvious applications when pumps are vital where dealing with more complex applications such as performing at the heart of every industrial and production process; delivering clean water supplies to where they are required and transporting wastewater back to sewage plants for processing.

Copycat products are a serious issue in many different markets and the effect they can have in particular on highly designed and bespoke heavily engineered products, could have serious repercussions. Not least of all because badly constructed circulators, not only will be poorly engineered and expensive to run, but we know of instances where consumers are reporting they are running very hot, which means that these products could present a serious fire risk.

The importance of the role that pumps play is reflected in the fact that they actually account for 10% of the world’s electrical consumption. So, against this backdrop it is easy to see why the EU has been trying to enforce regulations surrounding the energy efficiency of circulator pumps. This is evident through the recent introduction of EuP/ErP legislation (01/01/13) that only allows the most efficient circulator pumps to be sold onto the market today, with increasingly stricter legislation that will govern more pump types and their motors scheduled.

Additionally these products will have a detrimental effect on the UK achieving our environmental goals as these products do not meet any energy legislative rating standards. This will also mean that their associated running costs - over their lifetime will be perhaps 10 times more expensive than a ‘legal’ version. We in the industry are doing what we can, but we all need to be collectively vigilant in order to protect ourselves from illegally imported pump products – after all we deserve to get what we pay for. ■

However, a by-product of these recent changes in legislation has however, exacerbated a problem that you might associate more closely with designer label type goods that frequently suffer from ‘knockoff’ copies being made available to the market.

Copycat or passing off? Sometimes copycat products today are not always perceived as being a bad thing. We have all seen the rise of more and more brands - especially in the food and health & beauty products arenas over recent years. Views have changed and consumers today have come to accept and indeed expect that products can visually look, and have names that are very similar to, what we would formally have perceived as being well known top-end high street names.

Some things work well together Warman® pumps and Gemex® belt tensioning

These products frequently create demand by cloning themselves as closely as possible to their higher cost, better known competitors. By doing this they can quickly establish themselves in a proven market without having to undertake a high value market launch. Whether this ‘passing off’ is ethical is a debate for another day, but consumers will only buy these products once, if they don’t think they are fit for purpose. This means that any tangible consumer risk is therefore minimal.

The world’s most widely used slurry pumps and the industry-standard belt tensioning system are now available in single, integrated for the complete Warman® range. Rapid belt replacement means reduced down-time, increased energy efficiency and maximum wear-life. The result? The lowest possible operating cost.

Excellent Minerals Solutions

This is however not the case when it comes to highly sophisticated heavily engineered products such as pumps, due the nature of the role they play, their long life expectancy and the fact that they sit at the very heart of our homes. Yet today, we are increasingly finding that pumps and domestic circulator pumps in particular have become a target for increasing numbers of copycat company’s.

Founded in 1981, UK-based Flotronic Pumps enjoys an international reputation for its unique ‘ONE-NUT’ air-operated double-diaphragm pump design which allows rapid disassembly for maintenance and parts replacement. The doublediaphragm design also provides compelling advantages over alternative pump types including ‘self-prime’, ‘dry-run’, ‘dead-head’ and solids handling capabilities.

Flowserve is the world’s premier supplier of industrial flow management services. The Company produces industrial and engineered pumps, precision mechanical seals, automated and manual quarter turn valves and actuators and provides a range of related flow management services, primarily for the process industries. We are one of the largest manufacturers in the world for the Petroleum, Chemical and Power Generation industries.

Flotronic’s success also comes from a willingness to be flexible and adaptable, qualities reflected in the company’s ability to accessorise and customise to a client’s precise specification. In fact, the Flotronic product range boasts as many as 60 million variations! There are also upgrades including leak protection, alarm systems, pulsation dampers, counter systems and two and four wheel support trolleys.

With 56 manufacturing and over 160 pump and seal service/repair facilities spanning over 50 countries, we sell our products and services across the globe. Our installed base exceeds 1,100,000 pumps worldwide. Flowserve, Newark is the UK’s largest manufacturer of industrial pumps. There are dedicated business units for the manufacture of end suction, double suction, electro-submersible and non-metallic pumps for the chemical, pharmaceutical, water, power and general industrial applications. Our Newark Facility is approved to ISO 9001 by LRQA (Lloyds Register Quality Assurance).

Flotronic has always been pioneering. The “H” Series and the recently patented Minichem pumps are great examples of the company’s appetite for innovation in the face of new challenges. The Minichem is machined from one solid block of PTFE, a unique concept based on the ‘ONE-NUT’ air-operated double diaphragm design. A key benefit of the ‘ONE-BLOCK’ design is that it avoids the need for separate manifolds. This means no manifold seals and therefore no potential leak paths. The Minichem is ideal for the chemical, pharmaceutical and similar industries, pilot plants (in sampling lines, for example) and as an emergency pump for hazardous chemical recovery.

Principal products include chemical process pumps e.g. Durco Mark 3 ISO, Durco Mark 3 ANSI, Polychem, split case end suction pumps such as LR, LNN, LN, overhung impeller, end suction pumps for water applications such as MEN. Other product ranges include D-Line, vertical in-line pumps and Pleuger submersible pumps. Flowserve supplies pumps in a wide range of materials including cast iron, ductile cast iron, bronze, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, alloy 20, stainless steel, ni-resist and high nickel alloys, Hastelloy, monel, titanium and zirconium. Also produced are high silicon iron, fiberglass reinforced, modified epoxy resin and fully PTFE lined pumps. Products are designed in accordance with ISO 2858, ISO 5199, ISO13709 (API 610), ISO 3661 and ANSI B73.1. Interchangeability leading to reduced spares stock and cost is incorporated into both the ISO and ANSI designs.

Flotronic’s ‘H’ Series pumps are designed and manufactured to the specific license requirements of 3-A SSI, offering tremendous benefits for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries and any environment or process where maintaining product integrity is paramount. Versatility is key to Flotronic Pumps’ approach to design. The company’s products can be used in almost any application including pumping aggressive chemicals, transferring foodstuffs and providing constant liquid feeds. They are also able to transfer thin or viscous liquids including aggressive chemicals, adhesives, cosmetics, drinks, dyes, foodstuffs, paints, pharmaceuticals, solvents, slurry and water. Compliance-mindful customers will be reassured to know that any pump in the Flotronic range can be made ATEXcompliant for use in atmospheric groups IIA and IIB and also to the more demanding requirements of IIC. Reassurance is also provided in the company’s ISO 9001 certification, recognition of Flotronic’s commitment to high quality process management.

We have a dedicated UK sales and service operation, aimed at providing maximum customer support for the whole operating life of the pump unit. We install, commission, service and repair all pumping products, including non Flowserve manufacture. Strategically located service facilities in the UK and worldwide provide complete after sales support for all our products and customers.

Hardide advanced surface cobalt- and binder-free coatings give unparalleled protection to the internal and external surfaces of metal parts that are subject to wear, erosion, corrosion and chemical attack. Applied by low temperature gas-phase deposition of nano-particulate tungsten carbide/tungsten, the coatings offer a unique combination of abrasion, erosion and chemical resistant properties while being tough, ductile and impact resistant.

We are part of the Grundfos Group that employ 17,500 people in sales and production roles in 80 companies worldwide. Founded in Denmark in 1945, the Group now has an annual turnover of £2.6 billion and produces 16 million pumps per year.

These coatings can be applied to internal surfaces and complex geometries, giving a key advantage over conventional line-of-sight coatings and enabling design engineers to consider radical new-part design possibilities. The properties of the coating give rise to exceptional wear and erosion resistance in pump applications, and operational efficiency can be improved on positive displacement pumps, drilling mud pumps, reciprocating pumps, progressive cavity pumps, multi-stage centrifugal pumps, lobe pumps and vane pumps.

As only the second sales company to be set up outside of Denmark, we have been in the UK since 1964, and moved to our current premises in Leighton Buzzard in 1972. We employ 165+ staff who are engaged in supporting the sales and marketing effort and who geographically cover the UK and Northern Ireland. Our business head office is in Leighton Buzzard with regional sales offices located in Leigh, Birmingham and Livingston in Scotland.

Typical pump applications for Hardide coatings include impellers, housing, vanes, shafts, cylinders, plungers, neck/wear rings, rotors and sleeve bearings. In addition to hardness, wear and chemical resistance properties, the other key attributes for these uses are acid resistance, zero porosity, and antigalling.

We work very closely with other UK based subsidiary companies, Grundfos Manufacturing who are based in Sunderland, Grundfos Service, our national service provider and Grundfos Watermill who supply shower pumps.

Hardide offers a range of standard coatings and our technical and engineering teams can work in partnership with customers to develop custom coating solutions for the most challenging of erosion, wear, abrasion, corrosion, galling or fretting problems.

Hidrostal Ltd is the 100% Swiss owned subsidiary of the family run global business Hidrostal AG Switzerland, the inventors of the screw centrifugal pump in 1957. Since then we have been solely dedicated to its continual development and improvement.

Isolated Systems Ltd specialise in the design, manufacture and installation of industrial noise, vibration and thermal management products.

The impeller was originally designed to handle fish. These gentle handling characteristics combined with exceptionally large free passages led Hidrostal pumps to be applied on a much wider range of applications.

Established in 1970, ISL began manufacturing anti-vibration equipment and flexible duct connectors mainly for use within the HVAC industry, since then our product range has significantly evolved to include thermal expansion compensators, thermal insulation systems, acoustic enclosures, packaged skid units together with the expertise to deliver bespoke ‘turnkey’ acoustic solutions.

Low shear applications include the gentle handling of activated sludge, granular activated carbon, peas, potatoes, cranberries, bean sprouts, rag worms, crisps & chips to mention a few.

Exports now account for more than 50% of turnover and our products perform as a key component within the systems of many multi-national blue chip organisations, predominantly serving the Commercial Building Services, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical and Semi-Conductor markets. We support and strengthen our position in the supply chain with lean manufacturing, exceptional customer service and innovative product designs that will add value to our clients business.

The large free passage with excellent solids handling capability is derived from the unique impeller geometry. This makes our ability to pump raw unscreened sewage second to none. Unique self-cleaning sumps, as part of the Prerostal System, are able to deliver lowest whole life cost scenarios, through reducing costly reactive maintenance requirements. Prerostal is the ideal choice to ensure the removal of all emulsified oils, floating, settled and suspended solids.

More recently, we have extended our services to include global support of our products comprising comprehensive site surveys, full installation and commissioning of our systems from our qualified team of site engineers that extends to offshore facilities.

The Hidrostal pump is also able to comfortably handle sludges and slurries at the 8% dry solids content level. Our team of engineers allows us to operate as both a supplier, designer and installer of fit for purpose pumping solutions. We also offer workshop repair, site maintenance, hire and service to support our wide installed base of versatile products. The company now remains as one of the few dedicated and specialist waste water pumping businesses left in the UK.

A WORLD LEADER IN ENERGY SAVING FOR PUMP APPLICATIONS An industrial innovator, WEG supplies the widest range of energy efficient motors for the pump industry. Its energy saving motor-inverter packages and turnkey automation systems control some of the most prestigious pumping projects in the world: desalination plants, hydroelectric facilities, irrigation systems; water and waste treatment plants, cavity pumping applications, oil extraction and major testing facilities to name but a few. WEG supplies low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage motors – including ATEX compliant hazardous area motors and the new WMagnet IE5 Drive system available from August 2014, this motor-drive system achieves the highest efficiency rating in the market, exceeding the anticipated requirements of the impending IE5 Ultra Premium Efficiency classification across its output range.

Watson-Marlow Pumps Group is the world’s largest manufacturer of tube and hose pumps. Peristaltic pumps have no valves , seals or glands - the fluid contacts only the bore of the hose or tube. Simple to install, easy to use and quick to maintain, they are the world’s fastest-growing pump type. Following recent acquisitions, aseptic filling and capping systems specialist Flexicon, and sinusoidal pump company MasoSine, significantly strengthen the company’s offering to the process and packaging machinery industries.

WEG offer the W22 WIMES motor designed to meet the specific requirements of the Water Industry and is available as either IE3 or IE4 efficiency rated.

MasoSine pumps enable Watson-Marlow to increase its flow rate range and handle higher viscosities without shear or cavitation.

The operation of these energy saving motors is further improved by WEG’s inverter drives, which can save up to 50% in running costs in some pumping applications.

Watson-Marlow Flexicon bring aseptic liquid filling, plugging and crimp capping systems to users in pharmaceutical and diagnostics applications where high precision and efficiency are required.

The newly launched Pump Genius process control software enables engineers to optimise their pumping systems so that they can run more efficiently.The software is designed to reduce pumping system operation and maintenance costs whilst increasing process accuracy and protection. Used in conjunction with WEG’s CFW11 inverter drive, Pump Genius can be applied to any system that requires constant flow or pressure and can manage up to six pumps in a coordinated system.

The new pump portfolio will enhance end-user processes through reduced product damage, flow rates to 90 cubic metre/hr and pressures to 15 bar, and minimal maintenance downtime, thereby delivering savings on process and equipment running costs.

WEG is an ISO 14001 certified manufacturer, and has a global presence with representation on every continent.
