BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 Index (EEI) of not more than 0.27 are allowed on the EU market and only glandless circulators integrated into products (eg boilers) with an EEI of not more than 0.23 will be allowed on the EU market from August 2015.

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Pump System Audits The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) Regulations 2014 came into force on 17 July 2014 and are a mandatory energy assessment and energy saving identification scheme for large undertakings (and their corporate groups). The scheme applies throughout the UK. ESOS Energy Audits have the potential to increase businesses profitability and competitiveness by identifying cost-effective savings which, if implemented, will improve energy efficiency. The scheme is estimated to lead to £1.6bn net benefits to the UK, with the majority of these being directly felt by businesses as a result of energy savings.

A Europump guideline is available and BPMA continues to work with the National Measurements Office (the UK EU Market Surveillance Authority in regard to the ErP Directive) in regard to non-compliant products appearing on the UK market.

Water Pumps Remember as of January 2013, only clean water pumps in scope of the ErP Directive with a Mean Efficiency Index (MEI) of 0.4 (minimum) are allowed on the EU market. Guideline available from BPMA.

ESOS is the UK Government's approach to transposition of Article 8(4) of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, which requires all large (non-SME) enterprises to undertake energy audits by 5 December 2015 and every 4 years thereafter. The scheme's regulations are published on the government's legislation website http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1643/contents/made

Extended Product Approach The current ErP Directive requirements for clean water pumps identified above will provide the EU with some 3-5 TWh of energy savings. Europump and the EU have agreed that via an Extended Product Approach (EPA) ie pump, motor and VSD (when applied) to be implemented via a review of the ErP Directive in 2016/17 savings of up to 35 TWh will be achievable.

More information about the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme can be found on the ESOS webpage https://www.gov.uk/energy-savings-opportunity-scheme-esos Guidance has also been published to help potential participants in the scheme understand their obligations and on page 43 of the full ESOS guidance document you will see that the ISO/14414-Pump System Energy Assessment standard is referenced as an auditing methodology that can be accepted by “Lead Assessors” approved by the Environment Agency. Accordingly it is hoped BPMA CPSA accredited persons (who are trained according to the IS0 14414 standard) will be recommended by Lead Assessors to undertake the pumping system elements of company energy audits.

BPMA, through Europump is heavily involved in developing this approach and appropriate standards. Details are available from BPMA.

Booster/Multiple Pump Sets Investigations are ongoing within Europump to identify an Energy Efficiency Index of assemblies incorporating multiple pumps – details from BPMA.

Wastewater Pumps

And bear in mind:•

Pumps are the largest consumers of global motive power

•

Pumping System improvements can deliver up to 40% reduction in energy costs – and therefore improve user bottom line P&L account performance

•

The fact that BPMA’s CPSA scheme has been designed to help by equipping people with the skills to conduct a Pumping System Audit in accordance with ISO/14414

The EU has recognised that a possible ErP Directive requirement at the product level would only yield minimal energy savings. Accordingly, the matter to be further considered as part of the ErP review in2016/17 assuming an EPA for wastewater pumps could be established and demonstrate higher energy savings potential. Again, BPMA heavily involved in this process and details available from BPMA.

ISO 14414 – Pump System Assessment Standard

So when considering auditing your pumping systems, remember the BPMA Certified Pump System Auditor Scheme (http://www.bpma-cpsa.co.uk) has established BPMA as THE body to train and certify personnel who undertake “Pumping System Assessments” as referenced in UK Government Energy Strategy documents

This standard should be followed when carrying out a pump system energy audit and was published on 1 April 2015.

Drinking Water Directive – 99/83/EC In December 2014 the European Commission made an unofficial statement to the industry that the Drinking Water Directive will be revised and Article 10 (Quality assurance of treatment, equipment and materials) might be removed. Secondly, it is highly probable that the European Commission will withdraw standardisation mandate M136 (materials and chemicals in contact with drinking water, mostly handled by TC 164) within a few months, to be replaced with a new mandate. Europump has almost completed its work on a Position paper and also a Guideline to assist members in selling their product on drinking water across all member states, however Draft copies are available from BPMA.

Technical Activity Highlights as of April 2015 A lot going on – “keep in touch with BPMA” In April 2015 BPMA reminded its members that it was important to “keep in touch “ with BPMA to “keep up to date“ with the myriad of technically related matters that could affect their business – an ever changing scene for which BPMA continues to provide a unique service viz...

WEEE Directive Pumps are currently excluded from the WEEE Directive and BPMA are engaged in determining whether or not they will become in scope in August 2018 as part of the revised Directive – noting that a product that is not able to function by itself will not be in scope. Details from BPMA.

Circulators Remember the ErP Directive requires that from January 2013, only glandless standalone circulators with an Energy Efficiency

Technical Activity Highlights as of April 2015 continued from page 4

BPMA and Albany Engineering One of BPMA’s longest standing members – Albany Engineering Co Ltd located in Lydney, Gloucestershire – for nearly 70 years has become employee owned.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Remember, BPMA through Europump have produced a “pump template” for use by pump companies offering level 2 BIM to contractors – details from BPMA.

Currently employing 70+ people in Lydney and 10 at its other factory in Bradford, West Yorkshire, the company has manufactured rotary gear pumps for over 100 yrs. Today it also produces specialist twin-screw and lobe pumps.

Offshore Applications Currently offshore activities are excluded from the Machinery, ATEX and Pressure Equipment Directive. However the European Commission are considering changing the law in this respect and developments are awaited.

ATEX Directive Remember the new ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) will be applicable from 20 April 2016. Until then the previous version (94/9/EC) is to be used.

Construction Products Regulation No. 305/2011 Europump position paper available confirming that pumps and pump units “in general” are out of scope of this regulation as they do not fit in to the definition of construction products

ROHS 2 A Europump positon paper is available from BPMA. Mr Martyn Swaffield, Managing Director since 1967, when he took over the reins from his mother specifically wished to safeguard the future of the company with continued employment for his long-serving employees in both Lydney and Bradford. He has formed a trust company to ensure

EN ISO 20361 “liquid pumps and pump units – noise test code” – grades 2 and 3 of accuracy ISO/TC115 – Pumps has approved the revision of this standard – details from BPMA. ■

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 further decades of employment for local people. 13 current employees have worked at Albany Engineering for over 40 years and 2 gentlemen have over 50 years’ service.

Pump Training E-Learning

Employee ownership is now recognized by governments and customers around the world as being a stable environment, free from takeover threat and with strong work ethic from employee owners. Within British industry employee owned companies will shortly represent up to 10% GDP. It is believed that Albany Engineering is the first company in the British pump industry to benefit from the advantages of employee ownership.

This year has seen encouraging growth in the number of people participating in our pump technology e-learning courses. Currently offering two courses, the “Introduction” course aimed at those with limited knowledge of pumps, providing a comprehensive grounding in all aspects associated with pumping and the “Essentials” course, a challenging course for those personnel who manage or are involved in, designing, specifying, selling, sourcing, installing, servicing and maintaining pumping equipment. The growth experienced is partly due to the re-launch of the product through the upgraded accreditation now awarded by the National Open College Network (NOCN) which has led to the Essentials course now being recognised as equivalent to HNC level Both courses are independently accredited and quality controlled by the NOCN and the courses are offered in accordance with the UK Qualifications and Credit Framework and approved by Ofqal. Entry to both of these courses is by a simple on-line registration and payment process and offers the learner the opportunity to work at their own pace from any computer.

The BPMA were in attendance on Thursday 9 April 2015 when the new managing director, Philip Dykes, congratulated the new partners on over 1200 years’ service to Albany between them. The new employee owners made a presentation to Mr Swaffield and his wife Anne of a picture and plaque that will be placed in the company reception as recognition of this historic occasion together with a garden seat for Mr Swaffield and his wife Ann. ■

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 •

As a result, 37 models of circulator were purchased across the EU and assessed in laboratories in Denmark and Hungary. All of the products purchased based on risk modelling and information provided by industry including BPMA.

•

We are pleased to be able to say that a significant number of the products tested were able to demonstrate the sort of energy efficiency demanded by users and the legislation. We identified a number of products currently available in the UK which are not within the scope of the Ecodesign legislation and in some cases the level of compliance was such that further legal investigation is necessary and we are unable to comment further on these cases.

•

The reasons for this are partly because criminal investigations are subject to judicial process and partly so that we are able to deploy the full range of potential sanctions in order to achieve an effective and proportionate outcome in each case.

•

However, at this stage we are able to share an indicative compliance rate of 91% with the Ecodesign of Circulators Regulation (No 641/2009). Such a high compliance rate is extremely pleasing to see and represents what we believe to be an industry fully engaged with legislative obligations.

•

This figure does not make us complacent and we have engaged with a number of BPMA members, regarding compliant product, as part of a programme of business support. This combined approach (physical testing alongside business support) has been received positively. ■

MAINTEC BPMA took a stand at the Maintec show held at the NEC, Birmingham on the 24-26 March 2015. Having just celebrated its 40th year, Maintec 2015 is the UK's leading show for maintenance, plant and asset management and this year included a pumps and valves sector. Maintec continues to be THE industry event for visitors to see the latest technology providing costcutting solutions, increasing productivity and higher ROI for their business. BPMA staff met with some useful contacts covering many areas of BPMA’s activities. ■

Market Surveillance Developments BPMA maintained its dialogue with the National Measurement Office (NMO) who are the UK Market Surveillance Authority in regard to the Energy Related Products Directive.

The “Blue Guide” 2014

In fact NMO wrote to BPMA in October 2014 summarising their activities with BPMA regarding our concerns about noncompliant circulators being placed on the UK/EU market.

In October 2014 BPMA provided members with a copy of the “Blue Guide” on implementation of EU Product Rules published by the European Commission

Extracts from this letter follow: •

NMO hosted meeting to discuss general and specific BPMA concerns on 17 October 2013

•

NMO provided comments on BPMA documents in November 2013

•

NMO purchased 15 models for testing in December 2013

•

NMO sent models for testing in Denmark in February 2014

•

NMO received results of testing in March 2014

•

NMO purchased additional units for testing in line with statutory legislative procedure in April 2014

•

Ministerial correspondence (x3) initiated by BPMA members received between 28 January 2014 and 11 April 2014

•

BPMA hosted meeting with NMO in order to update current situation on 29 May 2014

•

NMO provided BPMA with summary update of testing indicative results in June 2014

•

Additional units sent for testing in Denmark in July 2014

•

NMO received email from BPMA advising that the board and council members would again raise issues with ministers in August 2014

•

In order to avoid duplication of activities, and maximise impact, NMO have been cooperating with 10 member state market surveillance authorities regarding the testing of circulators for compliance with the Ecodesign regulations as part of the Ecopliant project.

The Guide to the implementation of directives based on the New Approach and the Global Approach (the “Blue Guide”) was published in 2000. Since then, it has become one of the main reference documents explaining how to implement the legislation based on the New Approach, now covered by the New Legislative Framework. Much of the 2000 edition of the “Blue Guide” is still valid but it requires updating to cover new developments and to ensure the broadest possible common understanding on implementation of the New Legislative Framework (NLF) for the marketing of products. It is also necessary to take account of the changes introduced by the Lisbon Treaty (in force since 1st December 2009) with regard to the legal references and terminology applicable to EUrelated documents, procedures, etc. This new version of the Guide will therefore build on the past edition, but include new chapters, for example on the obligations of economic operators or accreditation, or completely revised chapters such as those on standardisation or market surveillance. The Guide has also been given a new title reflecting the fact that the New Legislative Framework is likely to be used, at least in part, by all types of Union harmonisation legislation and not only by the so-called “New Approach” directives. ■

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 • Overall support for shale gas production: 57% support the production of natural gas from shale in the UK, compared with 16% who oppose and 27% who are undecided.

BPMA meets with UKOOG BPMA met with the United Kingdom Onshore Operators Group (UKOOG) in Summer 2014 to discuss the pump supply chain associated with potential UK shale gas developments.

• Reducing reliance on gas imports: 67% agree that Britain needs to produce its own energy so it isn’t reliant on gas from other countries, compared with just 1% who disagree. National Grid has forecast that without natural gas from shale production, Britain will import up to 91% of its gas by 2035.

A new UKOOG commissioned survey shows 57% of Britons support natural gas from shale. • 57% of Britons think shale gas production should go ahead; only 16% are opposed.

• Support for shale gas development alongside renewable energy: 59% would be willing to see natural gas from shale production go ahead as long as it forms part of a mix that includes renewable energy sources, with only 12% disagreeing.

• Two thirds believe Britain should be less reliant on gas from other countries. • Planned changes to underground land access supported by 42% of the public, with only 16% opposed.

• New infrastructure needed: 47% agree that the UK needs to invest in a whole range of new infrastructure, including housing, roads and railways, airport capacity and new energy sources, with only 5% disagreeing.

A new public opinion poll reveals that natural gas production from shale enjoys widespread backing across the country, with more than three times as many supporting production than opposing. The Populus survey of 4,000 adults, commissioned by UK Onshore Oil and Gas (UKOOG), also finds overwhelming support for reducing Britain’s reliance on gas imports from overseas, which are rising rapidly as North Sea production declines.

• Underground land access: 42% agree with the Government’s planned changes to underground land access, compared with 16% who disagree. The changes are designed to bring oil and gas and geothermal energy production into line with other essential services that have rights of underground access, including water and sewage pipelines and coal mines. ■

This survey is one of the largest polls on the issue. The key findings of the research include:

Cold Water Booster Sets

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

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.

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

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.

A new list of harmonised standards in view of the implementation of directive 2006/42/EC was published in the EU Official Journal on 13 February 2015 (OJEU 13.02.2015 C 54/1). As regards the study on possible amendments of the Machinery, ATEX and Pressure Equipment Directives for equipment intended for use in the offshore oil and gas, the revised version of the interim report was published by the Joint Research Centre in December 2015, following a call for stakeholder comments on the initial draft. This document is available from the secretariat.

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 Simple Pressure Vessels Directive 87/404/EEC (SPVD), the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED) and the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive 99/36/EC (TPED) at this point in time, as previously foreseen by the Commission

The next Machinery Committee and WG meetings have been confirmed to take place on 23 and 24 March 2015 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.

ATEX (EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES) old 94/9/EC new 2014/34/EU (After 2016) The EC ATEX Working Group meeting took place on 17 February 2015. In the framework of the new ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, the Commission reported on the ongoing development of new ATEX guidelines which should be completed before the implementation of the directive as aligned with the New Legislative Framework (i.e. 18 April 2016). An NLF workshop focused on the new ATEX Directive is planned to be held on 30 September 2015. The next meeting of the ATEX Working Group is scheduled for 1 October 2015.

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.

Directive 2014/34/EU on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX), as aligned with the New Legislative Framework (NLF), was published in the EU Official Journal on 29 March 2014.

The Standards which required work are EN 809, EN13951, EN12162, EN ISO 20361, EN13386, EN1829-1 and 2. This work is now completed.

Member States need to transpose this directive into national legislation by 19 April 2016. On 14 March 2014, a new list of harmonised standards in the framework of the implementation of the ATEX Directive was published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU 14.03.2014 C76/30).

Europump Guideline In line with 2006/42/EC •

The New ATEX Directive will be applicable as by 2016-0420. From this Date BPMA Members must use the new number on all associated paperwork and labels.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE Old 2006 /95/ EC new 2014 /35/EU after 2016

continued from previous page

You will find the text in the language version of the member states at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legalcontent/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2014.096.01.0309.01.ENG and more information can be found in the following days at: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/mechanical/atex/index _en.htm

Directive 2014/35/EU on electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (LVD) as aligned with the New Legislative Framework (NLF) was published in the EU Official Journal on 29 March 2014. The Member States need to transpose the new directive into national legislation by 19 April 2016. The Commission decided to tackle the NLF horizontal issues during a future horizontal workshop: one of these issues is the request for clarification of the interpretation of ‘making available”/“placing on the market” in the Blue Guide which seems to also be relevant when simple offers are made. At the LVD workshop, the Commission provided further explanation on the following issues: instructions for products sold in bulk and their content (the instructions accompanying the product may apply to the main package or each product part, depending on the initial “intended” use of the product; a full manual is not always necessary, but this depends on the compliant use and operation of the product); obligation of importers and distributors to ensure conformity assessment/that the technical file is accessible to market surveillance authorities; list of harmonised standards for the directive (existing standards which reflect the state of the art will provide the presumption of conformity of the new directive until the new list of harmonised standards has been published in the Official Journal); information to be included in the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) (the information foreseen in the template for the DoC is deemed sufficient); formal noncompliance (the EC will decide on a common period for Member States to take the appropriate measures to restrict or forbid electrical equipment found as non-compliant from being made available on the market).

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 Framework The Europump Atex Guideline is available reflects recent changes. To reiterate the document has now been split into two parts. •

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.

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 standard could be 3 party inspection of manufactured mechanical goods. Other changes to standards include; •

EN13463 to IEC 80079

•

EN13463-1 to IEC 80079-36

•

EN 13463 (others) to IEC 80079-37

BPMA members who wish to receive copies of the Europump revised Guideline should contact S Schofield at the BPMA

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 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.

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.

An updated list of harmonised standards was published in the OJEU The European Commission has finally published the implementation guidelines of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC on its website.

To reconfirm that any reference to the LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE should be to – 2006/95/EC no reference to the old numbers should made.

No reference to the old number should be made in correspondence, paperwork and certification.

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).

Electro Magnetic Fields Directive (EMFD) Directive 2013/35/EU (New Number)

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility DIRECTIVE) 89/336/EEC Old 2004/108/EC new 2014/30/EU after2016

As a reminder, Member States have until 1 July 2016 to transpose 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).

A new list of harmonised standards in the framework of the implementation of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC was published in the EU Official Journal on 16 January 2015 (OJEU 16.01.2015 C 14/1).

On 16 April the public consultation launched by the European Commission and the Scientific Committee on Emerging Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) on a preliminary opinion on “Potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF)” was closed. The Opinion aims at updating the previous documents issued by the SCENIHR in 2009. The public consultation was accompanied by a public hearing (on 27 March) and a workshop (on 28 March).

Following the new Electro Magnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU aligned with the NLF Decision 768/2008, Orgalime made a comparison between the old directive 2004/108/EC and the new one. The new directive makes reference to electromagnetic compatibility ‘apparatus’ instead of ‘product’ which was used in directive 2004/108/EC. No substantial changes to the technical provisions have been identified, but in the new text market surveillance procedures are both simplified and clearer.

As a reminder, Member States have until 1 July 2016 to implement the directive on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to electromagnetic fields (Directive 2013/35/EU of 26 June 2013).

Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility (EMCD) as aligned with the New Legislative Framework (NLF) was published in the EU Official Journal on 29 March 2014. Member States need to transpose the new directive into their national law by 19 April 2016

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).

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.

As a reminder, the new Directive covers all sectors but mainly concerns workers exposed to a level of risk. It incorporates 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.

A CENELEC Study Report 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.

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.

As a reminder 9 Directives with the New Legislative Framework which contains specific comments relating to the EMCD 2004/108/EC are ongoing.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 However members of Europump have now created position paper to assist the pump industry with exclusion to this directive, copies are available from SJS.

continued from previous page

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

In short, products covered by EN 1090-1 need to be CEmarked only if they satisfy the following requirements: they are defined as construction products in line with Article 2(1) of Regulation 305/2011, they are intended to be used in works (buildings, civil engineering works), they are permanently integrated in the building and fulfil a structural function together with the building, they are not covered by another harmonised standard. The affixing of the CE-marking on fabricated structural steelwork has been obligatory since 1 July 2014 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.

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.

Construction Products Regulation (CPR) – Revision

The British Construction Products’ Regulation Guide published by the British Association for Construction Products is available from S. Schofield.

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.

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.

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.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 obligations on Mandate M/136 rev2 with regards to writing test standards. This includes the Pump industry and CEN TC 197 (see report of meeting N549). The conclusion of this meeting in April 2014 was to request further information from the European Commission.

continued from previous page

The European Commission should now embark on the drafting of a guideline, and CEPMC (construction products association) will actively contribute to it.

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.

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.

DRINKING WATER DIRECTIVE 99/83/EC

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.

On 22 January 2015, CEIR hosted a meeting of an ad hoc industry consortium with the goal of influencing legislation and by-laws (i.e. national approvals) concerning materials in contact with drinking water. To be more specific, this consortium seeks the harmonisation of national technical requirements for materials in contact with drinking water, with one test and one certification, agreed and recognised by all European countries. In December 2014 DG GROWTH made an unofficial statement to the industry that the Drinking Water Directive will be revised and Article 10 (Quality assurance of treatment, equipment and materials) might be removed. Secondly, it is highly probable that the European Commission will withdraw standardisation mandate M136 (materials and chemicals in contact with drinking water, mostly handled by TC 164) within a few months, to be replaced with a new mandate. Europump has almost completed its work on a Position paper and also a Guideline to assist members in selling their product on drinking water across all member states. This should be available during March 2015, however Draft copies are available from S Schofield.

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

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.

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.

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.

Developments to date

This list will apparently be enforced in December 2014 in Germany and July 2013 in the Netherlands. It contains little new information. 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.

•

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.

On standards issues, DG Enterprise has sent guidance to CEN on regulatory aspects.

There are however disadvantages :

It has now been recognised within certain CEN Technical committees that there is not enough information to fulfil

•

It covers only national regulations

•

It does not cover all products

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 a single contact point either in the EU or outside), the ‘risk’ notion (‘acceptable risk’ on the basis of the state of art indicated in harmonised standards and how to determine unacceptable risk), place of manufacture (to be deleted), market surveillance authorities’ powers (in terms of the conditions under which they can have access to the private location of manufacturers without prior notification), CPR (horizontal aspects in the NLF may cover some construction products although the CPR is excluded from the Blue Guide) etc. Depending on the results of the upcoming implementation workshops, the Commission may consider amending some parts of the Blue Guide in January 2015. Copies of the Blue Guide are available from s.schofield@bpma.org.uk

•

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

On 29 March, the eight remaining directives in the NLF Alignment Package (including ATEX, LVD, SPVD, EMCD, MID) were published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU 29.03.2014 L96). These directives entered into force on 18 April 2014 and will apply as of 20 April 2016 (the deadline for transposition into national legislation is 19 April 2016). The Commission finally published the 2014 edition of the ‘Blue Guide’ on the implementation of EU product rules on 31 March. The Guide attempts to explain in detail the different aspects of the New Legislative Framework in order to facilitate a better understanding of EU product rules and ensure their application in a coherent and uniform manner across different sectors, so that the public interest (health and safety, environmental and public security) is effectively safeguarded. The Guide is addressed to Member States and stakeholders such as trade and consumer associations, standardisation bodies, manufacturers, importers, distributors, conformity assessment bodies and trade unions, who need to be aware of the provisions designed to ensure the free movement of products within the EU.

Mandate M136 and future CEN work A second revised draft of M136 was presented to SCC in Jan 2010 and accepted. Main changes were the withdrawal of Annex IV on Dangerous substances and Annex V on EAS. A new Annex IV is to be written to : •

Refer to WG3 work

•

Provide a general framework of regularity guidance to CEN harmonized standards.

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

Manufacturers of Reciprocating Pumps

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.

New Legislative Framework (NLF) (No further news) In view of the DG Enterprise workshops on the implementation of the new LVD, EMCD and RED, Orgalime submitted a new set of comments on the Blue Guide, focusing on the parts which are prone to misinterpretation or confusion. The clarifications requested are on the following issues: the concept of making available / placing on the market (a simple offer to purchase cannot be considered as ‘making available’), coverage of components, repair and spare parts, CE-marking obligation (also applicable when the manufacturer adapts or redesigns a machine for his own use in the production), single contact point (allowing the set-up of

The adapted directives will be re-numbered and will have to be transposed into national law within 2 years . Market Surveillance (No further news) The Council has decided to reopen the Consumer Product Safety Regulation (CPSR) at the working group level. As regards the Market Surveillance of Products Regulation (MSPR), the Council has requested the Commission to conduct a study on the pros and cons of CPSR Article 7 (marking of origin), and other related aspects, such as safety, traceability. Little progress on the negotiations is expected before the end of the year, even though the Package has been included in the Italian Presidency’s Programme, as one of the key policy priorities.

Dual-use items No further news The final text of the Dual-use items Regulation amending Regulation 428/2009 was adopted by the Parliament and the Council on 16 April. The Regulation is to be published in the EU Official Journal shortly. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

ENVIRONMENT WEEE AND ROHS DIRECTIVES 2012/19/EU & 2011/65/EU On RoHS, 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.

In theory, the GPSD covers market surveillance in the nonharmonised 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 this stage, the European Commission faces difficulties in defining the scope of and responsibilities for this package.

In view of the definition of ‘electrical and electronic equipment’ or ‘EEE’ in the Recast Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2), some pumps may be understood as EEE. After careful study of the Directive 2011/65/EU on RoHS, EUROPUMP and its members come to the conclusion that the following pumps and pump units may fall in scope of this Directive from 2nd of January 2013 on:

Within the BPMA the issue of non compliant circulator pumps being sold onto the UK market still continues. This issue has been raised with the National Measurements office in October 2013.

There will be no link to the RoHs directive This means that pumps which were not covered by Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS1) and thus may not comply with the substance restrictions prescribed, but which are now subject to Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2), can still be made available on the market until 22 July 2019.

NOTE: In view of the current wording of Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2), this also means that the distribution / rental channels and stocks will have to be clear of non-conforming pumps on 22 July 2019. However, in view of the serious economic and environmental impact of such clearance, Industry associations together with the European Commission and Member States authorities are trying to find a solution to mitigate such consequences.

Presenting alternative concepts and carrying out pilots, VDMA (Germany) and Profluid (France) looking into this.

No legal action will be taken until 15-08-2018 and whilst there is no known market surveillance high penalties for none compliance have been announced. The BPMA have now discussed the possibility of joining the Gambica scheme which is the largest WEEE scheme in the UK and the 3rd largest in Europe. A presentation on this scheme was given at the BPMA AGM 20th November 2014. Subsequently meetings have been carried out with B2B in the UK and it has been concluded that a product is not in scope if it is NOT ABLE TO FUNCTION BY ITSELF. Further clarity will now be requested from BIS & Environmental Agency. Responsibility lies with the Producer and this is defined as the organisation who imports the product into a member state and makes it available for sale. It has also been recognised that other Trade Bodies such as Feta (Fans) BEAMA (Motors) BCAS (Compressors) and Gambica (Drives) will be in a similar position so contact we be made with these associations.

A new Europump Position Paper is now finished and available for RoHs2 this is now available from SJS Before the Christmas break, the European Commission proposed to extend the list of restricted substances for use in EEE through an amendment of RoHS Annex II. The targeted substances are 4 phthalates, namely DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP. As regards next steps, the proposal will be adopted under the “new comitology” procedure. While its final adoption is expected in mid-2015, a transition period of 4 to 6 years is foreseen. Indeed, the new restriction will apply as of 22 July 2019 for all EEE, except for medical devices, monitoring and control instruments (categories 8-9: 22 July 2021). However, the Commission proposal does not include an exemption for spare parts containing the 4 phthalates. Although the REACH authorisation provisions apply from February 2015, manufacturers are still allowed to import equipment containing these substances and place on the market products manufactured before this date. Therefore, an exemption for spare parts is needed to repair EEE placed on the market before the new restriction enters into force (i.e. 2019 or 2021).

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 large and small equipment).

In early July 2014, the Öko-Institut released its final report on the review of the scope of RoHS2, entitled: Additional Input to the Commission Impact Assessment for a Review of the Scope Provisions of the RoHS Directive Pursuant to Article 24(1). Firstly, the report recommends reformulating Article 4.3 to ensure that the restriction applies to EEE covered by RoHS2 which was not included in the scope of RoHS1, as from 22 July 2019. Secondly, it suggests adding a new paragraph in Article 4.4 concerning the use of spare parts in EEE newly in scope. Article 4.4 should specify that cables and spare parts for EEE newly included in the scope, which are placed on the market before 22 July 2019, benefit from an exemption. Thirdly, the report proposes that the Commission considers adding a provision to limit the circulation of articles placed on the market “which have never been used”, in order to avoid intentional stocking of non-compliant products shortly before the compliance deadline

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.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 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).

CHEMICALS (REACH) Amendment of directives 67/548/EEC &199/45/EC On 17 December 2014, the Candidate List was updated with 6 new substances identified as substances of very high concern (SVHC), which now comprises 161 substances. The inclusion of substances on the Candidate List triggers immediate communication requirements for downstream users, and also notification requirements 6 months later.

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.

In addition, ECHA launched a public consultation on its draft 6th recommendation for the inclusion of further substances in REACH Annex XIV (authorisation list), which runs until 30 November 2014. ECHA selected 22 substances, broken down into: •

7 lead substances

•

7 phthalates

•

2 substances obtained from coal tar: Anthracene oil; Pitch, coal tar, high temp

•

4 boron substances

•

4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated

•

1-Bromopropane (n-propyl bromide

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).

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).

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15

REACH & CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures) regulations both apply on all substances, including nanomaterials.

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.

REACH is the best possible framework for the risk management of nanomaterials but more specific requirements within the framework have proven necessary.

Guidance documents can be found at REACH guidance documents (RIPs), and in particular the ECHA guidance on the requirements for substances in articles

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

EU INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL DIRECTIVE 96/61/EC Replaced by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) (No further news)

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).

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

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.

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).

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 companies based in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, France and Belgium. Precise figures are available on the ECHA website.

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. The transposition of the directive to the Members States should be completed by July 2012

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,

Europump proposal for Pumps and Pumps Systems which is expected to be incorporated.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 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 2015; the Annex I benchmark was set at 0.20 and the mention “putting into service” in article 1 (scope) was deleted as it would have meant that millions of circulators in wholesale stock would go to waste because they had already been placed on the market but not yet put into service at the time of implementation of the regulation.

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

Water Pumps Whilst the first phase was introduced January 1st 2013 unfortunately technical issues with the EN standard have meant that a transition paper has been required from the Commission. It is hoped that this will be replace by the standard during the summer of 2013

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. On January 1st 2015 Motors with a rated output of 7.5 – 375kW must meet either the IE3 efficiency or the IE2 level if fitted with a VSD. Thus cutting the annual energy consumption of these engines by around 135 terawatt hours.

Suppliers’ information obligations under article 4 provide for the display of the label, a technical fiche in application of the directive and implementing measure (including built-in or installed products).

Current status ; ENER Lot 28 & 29: At the Consultation forum 5th May 2014 the commission recognised the low energy savings within the two lots and agreed that no implementing measure would be put on these products at this moment. It was agreed to reinvestigate when the Extended Product Approach scheme was finished in 201516. Implementing measures would depend on energy savings from the EPA.

BPMA need to ascertain if this will affect the labelling of Circulator Pumps. Suppliers will also be obliged to establish technical documentation, design calculations, test reports... and may use documentation already established in accordance with relevant Community legislation (i.e. the Ecodesign Directive). http://ec.europa.eu/energy/demand/legislation/doc/2008_02_ 22/2008_consultation_energy_labelling_document_en.pdf

Directive on Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU The European Commission has launched a call for tender to perform a study on energy efficiency in enterprises, specifically on energy audits and energy management systems. The study is to contribute to the fulfilment of the provisions of Article 8 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) by the Member States, identifying good practices, exchange mechanisms, practical guidance and reference data that will help to achieve adequate implementation at national level. More specifically, the study will cover the following four areas:

The final scope of Lot 29 still needs to be agreed prior to hydraulic data collection of the agreed scope. Electric motors and VSD, ENER Lot 30: Further to the Consultation Forum meeting (29 September 2014), the Commission launched the Impact Assessment (done by VHK & Viegand Maagøe). As regards next steps, the impact Assessment Board is foreseen in March or April 2015, followed by inter-service Consultation (May / June 2015) with a view to final adoption at the end of the year. for transitional methods of measurement to be discussed at the meeting. In the UK we have now been advised that the National Measurements Office has been appointed as the market surveillance authority. Energy Labelling Directive No further news Directive 2010/30/EU The Commission has recently launched a study on the next Ecodesign Working Plan 2015-2017 implementing the Ecodesign Directive, with a view to developing a robust classification of product groups and setting up an indicative list of priority product groups (indicative number of 20) for Ecodesign (and Energy Labelling) legislation. The study is carried out by the Öko-Institut (project leader), together with BIO by Deloitte (formerly BIO Intelligence Service, framework contract leader) and ERA Technology.

The envisaged duration of the study is 12 months as of contract award.

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

Article 8 of the EED on Energy Audits and Energy Management Systems requires Member States to promote high-quality energy audits in their territories and ensure that their large enterprises are subject to regular energy audits at least every four years. Implementation of the recommendations resulting from these audits should be encouraged by the Member States The directive entered into force December 4th 2012 and member states need to transpose into national law by 5th June 2014.

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

The Commission has formally asked Bulgaria and Hungary to ensure the full transposition of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED, Directive 2012/27/EU). The Commission sent a reasoned opinion to both Member States asking them to notify all their transposition measures for the Directive, which had to be transposed into national law by 5 June 2014. If the Member States do not comply with their legal obligation within two months, the Commission may decide to refer them to the Court of Justice.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 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).

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

In addition, Member States are required to establish a longterm strategy for mobilising investment in the renovation of the national stock of residential and commercial buildings.

Under article 8 of the Directive enterprises that are non SME are â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;three years after entry into force of this Directive- and at least every four years from the date of the previous energy auditâ&#x20AC;?

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Both the Council and the European Parliament still have to formally endorse the agreement. Publication in the OJEU is expected for October 2012.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2014/15 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, highvoltage circuit breakers, ICT (data storage), ICT (UPS, Uninterrupted Power Supplies), refrigerators, toilets and washing machines.

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.

Since the last BPMA Technical Meeting Europump has decided to engage in this project. It is felt that if a product does not offer energy savings through the ERP directive it may produce savings from an environmental footprint index !!!

At the first Europump PEF meeting which BPMA staff and members attended it was noted that the consultant running the project would only accept type 3 approvals which would include 3rd party inspection. This has been debated at Europump and the goal of any pump related PEF would EXCLUDE 3rd Part inspection.

A new list of harmonised standards in the framework of the implementation of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC was published on 11 July in the EU Official Journal (OJEU 11.07.2014 C 220/1).

This project is currently proceeding and conclusions 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

The next meeting is scheduled on 8 September 2015. As regards next steps, a study will soon begin to assess the OND scope and noise limit values (Articles 12 & 13 equipment). The conclusions will be used as input for the impact assessment to be launched in 2016 or 2017. The Commission expects to table its proposal in 2018, with the new legislation being applicable as from 2020/2021.

Water European Innovation Partnership No further news

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

On 14 October 2013, the European Commission adopted the blueprint to Safeguard Europe's Water Resources (COM(2012)673). In the building sector, the Commission suggests setting up binding Ecodesign measures for water-related products, developing voluntary ecolabel and green public procurement criteria, better enforcement of the Water Framework Directive and especially a search for water pricing/cost-recovery, raising consumer/user awareness regarding water uses through footprinting, voluntary labelling and certification schemes, and encouraging water re-use from wastewater plants and industrial installations for irrigation and industrial processes, including a regulation establishing common standards. In the context of the 2012 water blueprint policy framework, DG Environment has launched a public consultation on policy options to optimise water reuse in the EU. The Commission has broadly followed the policy recommendations submitted by the Deloitte consultants in the spring of 2014. The consultants found that there are few incentives for water reuse in the Member States, mainly because of inadequate pricing and controls on freshwater abstraction. Moreover, the existing national standards on water reuse are considered too strict. Therefore, these problems could be addressed by developing non-binding guidelines to encourage water reuse and implement EU standards which can be used to issue permits for water reuse. The Commission estimates that a reuse of 3,222 cubic megameters of water per year in the EU can be achieved by 2025. This accounts for 1.4% of freshwater withdrawals, which is three times higher than the current levels of reused urban wastewater. The impact assessment which is underway will put emphasis on the reuse of appropriately treated water from sewage works and industry and cover a wide range of areas where water reuse can be applied: agricultural, urban, industrial, groundwater recharge etc. A legislative proposal may be adopted next year. ■

The European Commission proposal for a revision of Directive 2000/14/EC is not expected before 2012. Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) No further news The European Commission has referred Austria and Poland to the EU's Court of Justice for failing to fully implement the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and has proposed that the Court imposes a daily penalty of €39,592.80 on Austria and €96,720 on Poland until proper implementation. The deadline for transposition was 9 July 2012. 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 Environmental footprint initiative DG Environment closed the call for volunteers for the first phase of the environmental footprint pilot scheme on 26 July.

Energy Efficiency of Power Drive Systems from 0.12 kW -1000kW

IEC TC2 is drafting IEC 60034-30-2 which is the efficiency of motors with drives. It is 2 years away S Schofield from publication. (Note, IEC 60034-30-1 is the standard which defines the IE efficiency classes for line John Bower fed motors). – Experts required The IEC subcommittee TC 22 is covering drives. The principle is for the IEC standards to follow the CENELEC ones, i.e. EN50598 parts 1 and 2 becomes IEC 61800-9-1, 2, and 3, but with worldwide participation, new opinions arise. In the IEC standards it appears that the 3 duty points, essential for the Europump Semi Analytical Method, are retained. Within the last few day major issues have been raised on the proposed IEC 61800-9-2 which will affect Europumps EPA.

Further Atex Information ISO/DIS 80079-36ed2 and ISO/DIS 80079-37ed2 were circulated as 2nd CDVs for vote. Voting period ended 2014-10-24. Comments were discussed at the IEC SC 31 M meeting in Northbrook, USA on 2014-1027. Voting for both was overall positive, with mainly Austria, Finland and Sweden abstaining from voting on either -36 or -37 mainly due to unclear attention on how the new standards will comply with the ATEX Directive.

reflect the IEC marking methodology set in EN 60079-0 and other IEC 60079 series standards (unifying the IECEx methodology) from the established method set from the creation of the EN 13463 as mandate to support the ATEX Directive; ZA annexes state that marking to the standard is now to be supplemented by marking to the 94/9/EC (i.e. dual marked);

As a result of the positive vote the CDVs will move to be registered as an FDIS by 2015-02. Due to the progress through ISO and the IEC TC through CEN TC 305 comments towards the status of the accompanying EN transpositions at the above IEC SC 31 M meeting. The FprEN versions for both projects is in preparation. At the CEN/TC 305 20th Plenary Meeting (2014-11-20) it was reported that ISO is responsible for the availability of the European Annexes (ZA) for both parts under the Vienna agreement (with ISO lead) but only annexes for prEN 80079-37 were provided, though annexes for both were available. As of Feb 2015 Annexes for -36 and -37 have been circulated. European comments and votes on ISO/DIS 80079-36ed2 and ISO/DIS 80079-37ed2 were mirrored in the voting for possible acceptance for prEN ISO 80079-36 and prEN 80079-37 as a European Standards. For part -36; 20 voted Yes, 1 voted No and 10 abstained. For part -37; 20 voted Yes, 0 voted No and 11 abstained. Overall technical requirements of the standards haven’t changed from the previous EN 13463-1, EN 13463-5, EN 13463-6 and EN 13463-8. The main point of contention was the conformity marking change to

Where previous markings for the above may have been; II 2G IIB c T4 X or Ex II 2G IIB c T4 X ATEX 95 equipment groups and categories are now translated into the EN ISO/IEC 60079-0 Equipment Protection Levels (EPLs) and Groups to fit the corresponding Zones given in EN 60079-10-1 and EN 60079-10-2. Related information: CEN TC 305 WG 4: Proposed to accept the revision of EN ISO/IEC 80079-34 as proposed work item – decision was taken. IEC MT 8007934 explosive atmospheres – part 34; application of quality systems for equipment manufacture is working on the revision of the standard with the aim to work on the European annexes and to include these into the body of the international standard. CEN TC 305 WG 6: The FDIS version and prEN ISO/IEC 80079-38 Explosive atmospheres -- Part 38: Equipment and components in explosive atmospheres in underground mines will be prepared following the approval of ISO DIS 80079-36 and -37, with the intention to publish this family of standards all together.

Historical Market Size and Growth – Long-Run Trends 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.

The Importance of Exports and Imports Exports probably account for around 60% of sales, although measurement problems prevent a clear comparison of exports with the level of total sales. The pattern of exports by destination 2003-2014 (see table) shows some marked changes. Exports grew by 7.4% per year 2003-13, compared with 5.7% per year for imports. Exports fell by 4.4% in 2014, whereas imports grew by 8.1%.

Customer Relationship Management of their needs means that control cannot always be reliably applied.

Customer Relationship Management – meeting the needs of the client from initial concept, through a managed project and continued service.

Should my business collect and store every piece of information?

By Steve Ashman of Solutions In I.T. Limited

It’s a good question isn’t it? Do I really need to collect this much? It can certainly be a culture shock. Asking everyone in the business to make structured notes after each meeting, to enter the objective and outcome of a phone call or attaching each email to the customer CRM record can be seen more of a hindrance than a help.

When your company relies on the professional skills of your project team to close important deals, how much emphasis is focussed on the quality of your response, the documentation and the needs of the client in the bidding process?

Without visibility of our communication, we run the risk as businesses of creating an expectation that we cannot meet in reality. Take the scenario where your engineer is tasked with a project, he asks questions and installs the new equipment, by all accounts, a competent person doing a good job. But, what happened to all of the fine detail that had previously been discussed, the thoughts of the client from which their expectation has developed, where is that now? If that

No-one can deny that new customers are hard earned and don’t happen by accident. In fact, the life cycle of a business relationship can easily derail after poor communication or a series of unfortunate events. If a relationship falters, the competition can so easily be given an opportunity to upset the apple cart and build successful contact with your customer, where previously the door would have been closed. Do you have a strategy for looking after your existing customers? How do you measure that your service meets your own standards and the expectation of your customers? There are many layers of complexity in a service and repair style relationship. Starting with your own investigation into the types of companies you want to deal with and your own estimates of potential business, from the customer’s initial thoughts, to detailed requirements that continue to change as each project grows, sales quotations for each of the specified jobs and contracts, right through to order completion and aftersales service. In these scenarios, how many face-to-face meetings, phone calls, and emails have taken place between you and the client?

information isn’t accessible centrally and isn’t actioned, you run the risk of an unhappy customer that essentially delays payment. So what’s the answer? The answer to centralising and recording communication is CRM - Customer Relationship Management. But, the title can sell this approach short, as the customer is not the only person that is influenced by your communication or affected by its accuracy. As we know building relationships with the customer will often require the expertise of suppliers, the involvement of trade associations and be influenced by changes in legislation, all of which hold important information that will invariably be useful in the relationship.

We may assume that few of your larger contracts come to fruition on the say so of a single person. By enabling a policy of tiered and multi-level communication with the client and satisfying the needs of not only the decision makers, but the influencers in the process you stand a better chance of closing sales.

How to tackle counterfeiters of pumps and pump parts the legitimate brand owner’s reputation can be unfairly damaged.

How to tackle counterfeiters of pumps and pump parts

What pump manufacturers can do about this?

By: Joe Cohen and Peter Pratt of Collyer Bristow LLP Solicitors

Various legal remedies and options are available to tackle counterfeiters. First, pump companies should be active in all the industry-led initiatives to tackle and minimise these problems.

The prevalence of counterfeit goods unfortunately impacts on all industries. However, in those industries where machinery is involved, counterfeits can often have the most serious effect from a health and safety perspective. The pump industry is one of those industries where counterfeit pumps or parts for pumps can potentially be very dangerous.

Secondly, Pump companies can take pro-active legal action where necessary. Both civil and criminal legal options are available. Civil court proceedings can be brought against the counterfeiters and injunctions granted to stop them from infringing any intellectual property rights, including trade marks, copyrights, design rights and patents. The court can make orders for damages (compensation) to be paid by the counterfeiter.

Counterfeiters have no moral or ethical issues to worry about. All they are interested in is whether they can make money by producing fake products and avoid being caught. A top-end accessories brand will be very active trying to stop cheap counterfeits being sold as they will perceive these often low quality goods from damaging and devaluing their brand. A toy manufacturer will want to stop the sale of cheap imported toys with their brand affixed to them for the same reasons and to avoid loss of revenue from sales. They will also be particularly concerned about quality and health and safety issues.

Counterfeiting is not just a civil offence, it is also a crime. It is quite often the case that criminal action is appropriate. Criminal action can be started in the UK by Trading Standards Officers, or by a private prosecution, which will have the effect of enforcing a pump company’s IP rights through the criminal courts. Thirdly, action can be taken to stop the counterfeits from being imported into the UK. It is a simple fact that the vast majority of counterfeits are manufactured in the Far East and then imported into the UK. It is possible for pump companies to take this action by registering an ‘Application for Action’ with HMRC. Following this registration, HMRC will notify all Border Agency officials (Customs) throughout the whole of the UK and the EU. Once this registration is in place, customs officials can detain the counterfeit goods at the border and can seize and destroy those counterfeit goods using a straightforward procedure. ■

All of the problems of brand damage and loss of revenue can, of course, affect the pump industry. An additional factor for the pump industry is European Union legislation which has to be complied with in respect of energy efficiency. If a genuine pump contains counterfeit parts which do not work as well as the genuine parts the efficiency targets (as well as performance generally) will not be met. In the pump industry, when the product goes wrong, a customer will unfairly associate the poor quality with the legitimate brand. Even worse, if the poorly manufactured product injures someone,

The recent collapse in oil prices has had a marked effect on investment in the North Sea. Another recent trend is the strong dollar appreciation, which can be expected to boost pump production in Europe relative to the USA. Although growth in China is slowing it is expected to remain above 6% a year. A collapse of the Euro has been averted, at least in the short-term, thanks to the quantitative easing by the European Central bank. However, It remains to be seen whether the Euro can survive in the longer term. 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. Gains by the Scottish National Party in the recent general election indicate that more transfer of fiscal affairs will be carried out, if not a move towards outright independence – but we have assumed the UK remains intact. 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 2019.

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 and some recovery is now underway. Housebuilding is expected to be a major growth area. 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, and financing is proving difficult. New gas-fired power plants may therefore prove to be essential in the short-term. ■

Extending Bearing Life Extending Bearing Life By: Dr Chris Carmody of AESSEAL The reliability of most rotating equipment is almost inevitably linked directly to bearing life, and it is estimated bearing failure is responsible for almost 21% of these equipment failures (Bloch, 2011). Research into bearing failures shows that just over half of these are a result of contamination of the bearing oil (Figure 1). Clearly it is therefore essential to ensure that contamination of the bearing lubricant is minimised and if possible eliminated if optimum bearing life is to be achieved thereby improving the equipment reliability (MTBF). Prevention of bearing lubricant contamination can be provided by use of commercially available bearing isolators (or “bearing protectors”) however before applying such devices it is advisable that the user ensures that the protection device used does not itself adversely impact on the equipment reliability.

Figure 3: As the equipment cools the oil / air mixture contracts sucking air from the atmosphere through the bearing seal into the housing.

Figure 4 below shows the effect of water contamination on a continuous digester that was originally fitted with inadequate bearing protection. The moisture contained in the atmosphere was able to penetrate into the bearing housing. This was enough to destroy the bearings. Independent research2,3, has shown that water contamination as low as 0.002% (20ppm) in some oils can reduce bearing life by as much as 48%. The challenge for maintenance and engineering professionals is to reduce this contamination and provide an effective method of sealing the space between the bearing housing and the drive shaft.

Here, Dr Chris Carmody [Special Products Manager] at AESSEAL® explains how through the use of labyrinth design bearing protection seals, bearing oil contamination can be eliminated.

52% of ALL bearing failures caused by contamination of the bearing oil 48% from particle contamination 4% from corrosion caused by liquid contamination

Figure 1 Causes of Bearing Failure1

One of the significant contributors to bearing oil contamination is the bearing enclosure breathing process required by rotating equipment. When equipment rotates the bearing housing heats up and the oil/air mixture inside expands and this is forced through the seal (Figure 2). The real problem arises when the equipment cools because the oil/air mixture cools and contracts sucking air from the external atmosphere through the bearing seal back into the housing (Figure 3). If bearing seals are to work effectively they must facilitate this ‘breathing cycle’ in order to extend bearing life.

Figure 4: Water contamination on a continuous digester prior to a LabTecta® 66 being installed.

Figure 5: Traditional lip seals cause damage to shafts

Figure 2: When the equipment rotates the bearing housing heats up and the oil / aid mixture inside heats up forcing air through the seal.

Extending Bearing Life When the equipment stops rotating the micro gap immediately closes forming a perfect seal (Figure 8). This prevents dust and moisture being sucked back into the bearing housing and eliminates bearing oil contamination.

continued from previous page

Early bearing protection design Historically the most common way of protecting bearings was to use a lip seal. Today however it is generally accepted that lip seals have limitations (due to inexpensive initial cost they continue to be widely applied). They also rely on surface contact between the seal lip and the shaft to form the seal. This surface contact often results in costly damage to the shaft itself (Figure 5). In addition, lip seals can’t fully protect the bearing from moisture or particle ingress, which ultimately results in bearing failure. Other factors to consider are that they have short service life4 compared to labyrinth seal designs, they cannot be used in API applications and they don’t prevent the loss of bearing oil and hence gradual loss of lubrication resulting in premature equipment failure. An alternative to lips seals are bearing protector seals. The design of bearing protectors varies significantly. Typically some of these bridge the gap between rotating and stationary components with an ‘O’ ring or wedge ring (Figure 6). These components often wear or don’t adequately effectively seal the bearing housing. As a consequence of this many of these designs are now viewed as out dated and ineffective.

Fig 8 When the equipment stops the micro gap immediately closes

So, in conclusion, it can be seen that contamination of the bearing oil can be prevented by upgrading to more advanced labyrinth bearing protection seals. With bearing oil contamination responsible for over 50% of bearing failures, minimising and ultimately eliminating such contamination will inevitably lead to improved equipment reliability. ■ 1 2

Figure 6: Two different “Generic” versions of bearing housing seals. Styles with contact between O ring and sharp edge grooves are vulnerable especially if rotors incorporate low clamping forces. Some styles have high drag force between the rotating and stationary components

Labyrinth design In recognition of these shortcomings, more advanced labyrinth bearing protection seals have been developed, which can offer dust tight protection against both solids and liquids and are also non-contacting in operation. One such seal incorporates patented dynamic lift technology to protect against the ‘breathing’ issues that contribute to 52% of all bearing failures5. This dynamic lift technology uses the centrifugal force of rotating equipment to open a temporary micro gap allowing expansion of the oil air mixture in the bearing housing, which consequently allows the equipment to breathe (Figure 7).

Drives and motors can help meet Ofwat outcomes ‘Sleep & boost’ is designed for clean water pumping systems, during night time when water consumption falls. It detects slow motor rotation and runs the pump at an increased speed to boost pressure prior to shut down. The pressure is continuously monitored and pumping restarts when the pressure falls below the minimum level set by the end user.

Drives and motors can help meet Ofwat outcomes By: Dave Hawley of ABB Limited Variable-speed drives and motors can help water companies take a total expenditure approach to meeting Ofwat’s goals

A perennial problem for wastewater pumping is ragging, where waste materials clog the pump impellers and pipes.

With the pumping of fluids at its heart, the water sector is one of the biggest users of motor-driven pumps and systems in the UK, accounting for around 70 percent of their energy consumption. Yet, many of these pumping applications are ageing and rapidly heading towards the end of their useful life, with replacement being the only viable option. Updating motors and adding or replacing variable-speed drives can have a significant effect on costs, reducing energy use, cutting maintenance and maximising productive time.

This was a particular problem for Severn Trent Water, which was suffering low flow rates on its dry well flow pumps at its Wanlip Sewage Treatment Works. Flow rates were less than 400 litres per second against a design of 550 litres per second. This meant that under storm conditions the works was unable to achieve the rates specified under the Environment Agency’s consents, without the need for costly extra pumping. Variable-speed drives on all the pumps, each equipped with a special anti-jam routine as part of its on-board pump control software, solved the problem. As a bonus, the pumping requirement could now be achieved with only three pumps compared to the previous four, saving £100,000 a year on energy costs. Savings are also achieved by eliminating the labour and equipment costs traditionally incurred to manually unclog the pumps. Other pump control functions offered by some advanced drives include multi-pump control. Intended for applications where several parallel pumps are operated together and the required flow rate is variable, the function provides the most energy efficient way to operate parallel pumps. Level control can be used to control the filling or emptying of wastewater storage tanks. The function prevents sediment build-up on the tank walls by randomly varying the surface level within a range preset by the user, again cutting the need to shut down tanks for cleaning.

ABB variable-speed drives and motors paired on a typical water industry pumping application

The advent of Ofwat’s new approach to regulating water companies’ expenditure, based on a total expenditure or TOTEX approach, offers a good opportunity to look at these applications and see what improvements can be made.

Consider all costs Like all industrial organisations, water companies need to achieve the best return on investment. To achieve this, they need to apply a life cycle approach to their assets. The life cycle cost (LCC) is the total cost for purchasing, installing, operating, maintaining and disposing of an item of machinery.

Previously, Ofwat has focused on outputs, for example, replacing a certain number of pipes to prevent leakage. However, now the focus has shifted to outcomes, where companies have to prove they are reducing leakage with measurable data.

As well as new drive and pump installations, LCC should also be calculated for existing ones, as these provide much greater scope for efficiency improvements than new installations. Additionally, many existing pump installations can be greatly improved if the duty has changed since the system was installed.

This should encourage more innovation, with water companies seeking to involve the supply chain in helping them use resources more efficiently to achieve the desired overall outcomes. There may be fewer capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects and more emphasis on operational expenditure (OPEX) solutions.

Motor lifetime costs are also a major factor. The purchase cost will always be a relatively small part of the total LCC, with the motor efficiency ultimately determining the energy costs over the motor’s lifetime.

Innovations enhance productivity All water companies are already using variable-speed drives and high efficiency motors to cut their pumping costs considerably.

Of course, just because a motor has a high efficiency does not mean that it is the most reliable motor available. To maintain top reliability and ensure no unplanned outages, motors must be managed to ensure they give the greatest possible service over the longest possible life. Factors such as preventive maintenance, critical spares and total failure scheduling are vital, as is what to do when the motor suffers a catastrophic failure.

Beyond energy efficiency, drives and high efficiency motors can also contribute significant productivity benefits, such as lowering maintenance of associated equipment, reducing wastage and cutting costly downtime. Use of variable-speed drives also allows pump users to exploit smart benefits and solve age-old problems such as water hammer, cavitation and shaft shear at starting. Some of the most modern variable-speed drives come complete with specialised on board software for water and wastewater applications. A soft pipe filling routine can provide a pump with a soft-start, enabling a smooth build-up of flow in pipes resulting in increased the life time of the pipe work and pumping system.

Many water companies will wait until the motor has actually failed and then have it rewound. Although this can work, poor rewinds are always a risk, resulting in a motor that does not meet its advertised efficiency rating and susceptible to an increased failure rate. When a motor fails, this is actually an opportunity to look at all the options, particularly the economics of replacing it with (continued on page 41)

D o w e r e a l l y k n o w w h a t ’s h a p p e n i n g d o w n b e l o w ? Do we really know what’s happening down below? By:Andy Wade of Secure Meters (UK) Ltd formally AEMS A stitch in time saves £’s The pictures shown may not be unusual to many of us who deal with pumping however, what is surprising is this pump took next to no time to get to this state. This poses the question: what happens to a submersible pump once it is lowered and is out of sight? The rapid decline in performance of this pump, figure 1, was only recognised by monitoring its hydraulic performance regularly. An analysis of the results was instrumental in highlighting the need for immediate action before the total failure of the unit. This impeller is eroded by cavitation, pumping rag and grit and corroded by saline inclusion.

The monitoring equipment that helped to identify this problem is available (has been for over 5 years) and is based on technology which has been around for over 25 years, Despite this, there still seems to be a reticence to invest in the permanent monitoring of the one asset which contributes to a high percentage of their energy requirement.

This may be the case for certain installations but re-cooping investment is not always associated with refurbishment, as illustrated by the following schematic. There are many ways in which we can fine tune our pumping plant, but not without knowledge of its performance.

Pump optimisation probably presents the easiest way to make energy savings, after refurbishment. This is followed closely by running pumps at variable speeds and in many instances the two ways are interlinked. Running your pumps at the wrong speed can be as detrimental as running the wrong sequence of pumps. Experience has shown that putting fixed performance monitors on pumps, especially when they are running at variable speed, starting a dialogue with the operators who run them and producing a schedule for the various pump combinations across a range of flows, will contribute to reduced energy consumption.

Cavitation in the vane root has cut through the impeller, allowed rag to become snagged in the serrated edges. It is doubtful this impeller would have lasted without disintegrating completely.

Monitoring, the way forward? The main argument against fitting monitoring equipment to pumps boils down to cost, will it be cost effective? Let’s look at the pump in this article, a submersible sewage pump rated at 200kW with an annual cost of £120k to run, the efficiency of the pump dropped to 38%. At which time it was decided to pull the pump out of the shaft and replace it with a refurbished unit. The re-furbished unit had an efficiency of 64%, this improved performance equated to a monetary saving of around £38k (annual pumping costs) to pump the same amount of effluent. In this case the investment in monitoring is self-evident. However, when talking of pumps for clean water, the business case tends to focus on the fact clean water pumps wear less quickly. As a result, savings in energy through re-furbishment don’t cover the capital cost of installing the monitoring equipment. The chart above shows how high lift pumps were run at a (continued on page 41)

Is the pump industry ready to talk? What this means is that pumps, sensors, meters and pump controllers are connected to a datalogger. Data can then be accessed from an Internet PC, providing an overview of your system. If sensor thresholds are crossed or a pump or controller reports an alarm, a communication will instantly be dispatched to the person on duty.

Is the pump industry ready to talk? By: Linda Dingley of Grundfos Pumps Ltd Much has been written about the pace of technological change over the past 10/15 years. There was a period of time when it was believed that it would not be possible to sustain this acceleration and that the world would return to ‘normal’ at some point. However, it is now accepted that the pace will not slow down and in fact if anything, it will continue to quicken as this period of rapid technological transformation continues unabated into the future.

In this way changes in pump performance and energy consumption can be tracked and documented using automatically generated reports and trend graphs. These can also give an indication of wear or damage, and service and maintenance can be planned accordingly. To ensure that you will get the best system available, this is a checklist of things such systems should ideally be able to support:

Looking at the raft of developments we’ve seen over recent years, we all accept that these advances have, by and large, made the world a better place. Equally these developments have filtered away from the consumer demand for increasingly smart gadgets, into every strata of business – including within the pump industry.

•

achieve a range of fieldbus connectivity protocols that have the approval to the relevantly accredited marques

•

enable data communication via open and interoperable networks

A by-product of this has seen the opportunity to create an holistic intelligent design approach to integrate devices such as pumps, communication units, control and protection equipment, transmitters and drives within a pump solution to ensure that the system will operate to its maximum effectiveness and efficiency.

•

deliver a comprehensive range of feature and a range of documentation that will support specific demands

•

provide data transparency through motor protection/drives/sensors for total system optimisation

•

offer a robust additional mobile platform that gives access to data ‘on the go’

Ready to communicate One of the specific ways this has manifested itself is demonstrated with regard to many new communication platforms that today offer a wide range of important benefits. Some of the reasons behind these changes are because we are seeing demand moving away from a simple pump selection scenario into a much more integrated and systems driven approach that looks at the integration of an entire system. This now means all aspects of pump engineering are becoming much more synergised and the communication abilities ever more sophisticated.

•

removes need for additional panels

Remote monitoring Remote monitoring and control refers to a field of industrial automation that is entering a new era with the development of wireless sensing devices. This was initially limited to SCADA systems, remote monitoring and control and refers to the (continued on page 41)

This is in effect quite a sea-change for the industry as the previous focus had been on maximising the inherent engineering to deliver the best energy efficiency on an individual pump basis. Of course the economies of scale offered by being able to interrogate the system better, mean that a focus on energy is certainly an important spin-off of improved communications. Flexible data communication The more technically advanced pump companies are now able to offer a wider and more sophisticated approach. This can be seen for example in remote management systems which are already available on a secure, internet-based platform. Such systems can monitor and manage pump installations in a wide range of applications including: commercial buildings, industrial processes, water supply networks and wastewater plants.

Is the pump industry ready to talk? continued from previous page

Do we really know what’s happening down below? continued from page 39

measurement of disparate devices from a network operations center or control room and the ability to change the operation of these devices from that central office.

water treatment works prior to the installation of fixed pump monitors.

Today there are other remote monitoring solution management options that offer an efficient and cost effective alternative that can be used in standalone solutions - for example in retro-fit applications; as complimentary to; or in partnership SCADA systems. This route will often deliver a more cost effective outcome. Once again in order to ensure that you will get a system that is suited to your needs, below is a checklist of things such systems should ideally be able to support: •

capable of monitoring a range of conditions

•

instant SMS text alarm messages to relevant personnel when needed

•

minimal initial investment and fixed operating costs

•

data security and system reliability

•

reduced need for onsite inspection work

•

monitoring of pump and system performance

•

an overview of energy consumption

•

simplified integration

•

proactive scheduling of maintenance.

After initial monitoring, a new operating schedule was recommended and implemented; this resulted in an initial improvement of 12% in pump performance. The schedule was further refined with the help of the station operators and the savings (energy consumed) were increased to 17.5%.

Such systems have become more accessible with the introduction of cloud based remote monitoring systems.

Over the Horizon We spend thousands of pounds on vehicles which have central CPU’s supplying control and diagnostics, Rolls Royce supply aero engines which are monitored 24/7. Pump users spend thousands on purchasing, re-furbishing and replacing parts over the lifetime of their pumps but, apart from the standard vibration package, very few pumps are supplied with a comprehensive monitoring package. The cost of monitoring equipment for new pumping installations would form a very small percentage of the overall expenditure. The benefits to the customer would be many and varied, especially when the new ESOS regulations (requires businesses to provide comprehensive figures on energy usage) come into force. The author recommends that permanent monitoring is the way forward and with the present technology it should be considered by anyone installing pumping plant. ■

Pump engineering will continue to improve but in stage steps rather than any radical new developments. This will mean that bigger wins will need to be achieved in other areas – such as improved overall systems design and fully integrated solutions. The answers are out there – you just need to ask the right people the questions. ■

Drives and motors can help meet Ofwat outcomes continued from page 38

a new one. An old motor can be up to 5 per cent lower in efficiency compared to a new premium efficiency model. For continuously running motors, a user could achieve a typical payback of between 2-3 years by scrapping the motor before it fails, eliminating the cost and disruption of unplanned maintenance and process downtime. The lower cost of a modern energy efficient motor, especially variants below 37 kW output, now makes repairing existing motors in this power range uneconomical.

Offsite Manufacturing

Offsite Manufacturing Packaged Pumping Plant By: Andy Wilson of Hidrostal Ltd Factory assembled pumping plant saves on design, installation and commissioning cost for end users. This in turn ensures a lower overall project delivery cost. Where there is a program of similar works required, off site manufacture can enable easier standardisation and few interfaces. The concept of obtaining all the necessary design and build items such as pump, pipework, valves, brackets, supports and controls, all packaged from the pump manufacturer is not Hidrostal’s HidroMix range of prenew. You only have to look at assembled tank mixers is a good pressure boosting sets to example of offsite manufacture illustrate this.

Repeatability & Traceability

Offsite manufacturing is about moving site construction towards pre-assembly of modular units that fit together quickly and easily on site to deliver an entire process line or substantial part of a treatment works. Some examples of the types of offsite manufactured packages that are possible and available today would include but not be limited to the following: Pre-cast chambers for inlet pumping stations, chemical dosing rigs, pressure booster sets, above ground waste water pumping stations, sludge tank mixing systems and access steelwork.

The benefits to the end user of procuring packaged plant from a pump manufacturer include •

•

The further development of offsite manufacturing within the market place requires a more open minded approach to project delivery with greater collaboration between all the stakeholders that currently deliver schemes into Industry. Only then can the double digit percentage savings be unlocked for the end user. ■

Innovative Motor Is Smaller and Lighter AC motor whilst employing the electrical power efficiencies of the servo motor.

Innovative Motor Is Smaller and Lighter - 400% increase of power input over similar frame size motors By: Nigel Evenett of Lafert Electric Motors Ltd Pumps are frequently required to operate continuously. Consequently, for companies running them, energy efficiency becomes a key concern with a focus on their bottom line, and pump manufacturers offering the more efficient products have a distinct advantage over alternatives. A mandatory impetus to achieving higher efficiency is the increasingly demanding EU Directives governing electric motor efficiencies. Currently, as from January 1st, 2015 either IE3 compliant motors or IE2 motors with a VSD must be employed for 7.5kW-375kW applications. This requirement will also cover down to 0.75kW from January 2017. Beyond these existing EU requirements there are planned future energy efficiency requirements of IE4 and the proposed IE5.

An 11kW Permanent Magnet (left) and a standard 11kW motor illustrating the size and weigh advantage of the permanent magnet motor.

There are already options from various motor manufacturers to meet these current and future efficiencies, which if designed in now will avoid re-designs of equipment and machinery. Most of these are primarily based upon conventional motor technology but there are some that employ an innovative approach.

The resulting higher efficiencies this innovative approach achieves results in significant benefits in size and weight over conventional AC induction motors. Typically, the hybrid motor offers a size reduction of up to two frame sizes, whilst also cutting weight by more than a half. For example, a standard 5.5kW 112 frame IEC motor might weigh 34kg whilst a comparable hybrid 5.5kW motor comes in a 90 frame and weighs 16kg. Again, a standard 7.5kW unit comes as a 132 frame and weighs 53kg while the alternative hybrid comes as a 112 frame and weighs 26kg.

One such example is a design that combines synchronous motor and brushless servo motor technologies. This design achieves all the above energy efficiencies but in a smaller and lighter package. It draws upon the mechanical structure of the

Innovative Motor Is Smaller and Lighter

Innovative Motor Is Smaller and Lighter continued from previous page

Hence pumps could be made lighter and more compact. This in turn could mean machinery might be made smaller and demand less engineered support structure. Further, the replacing of an IEC standard motor with such an alternative would significantly up-rate the pump’s performance. For example, by replacing a standard 132 frame 7.5kW motor with a 30kW similar frame size hybrid permanent magnet alternative a pump could benefit from an increase of power input of up to 400%. Another benefit from adopting these new higher efficiency motors is their ability to potentially upgrade the efficiency of pump system packages to a point that no other modification being required in order to meet ErP demands.

A stand-alone permanent magnet motor and one with an integrated drive.

A significant benefit of the new ferrite rare-earth magnets is a guarantee of supply and more stable pricing compared to Samarium and Neodymium materials, ensuring a good continuity of supply.

In addition, there are options for the rare earth magnets employed because specially developed ferrite rare-earth magnets and interior magnet motor design can be used instead of the usual Samarium and Neodymium materials format. The choice of which material and magnet configuration specified will depend very much upon the particular demands of the application concerned.

So it is possible to build in future proofing motors now that will enable pump manufacturers be compliant with efficiency requirements to anticipated EU standards right up to 2017, in smaller and lighter packages whilst upgrading their products performances. ■

Fluid Performance Solutions Limited (FPS) delivers Standard Pump Energy Auditing and Performance Optimization into the Water and Waste Water Industry throughout the UK. FPS conducts Energy Auditing to ISO 14,414, an industry standard for independently auditing pumping stations specifically introduced to comply with legislation. Establishing pumping efficiencies and understanding the pipe system gives the best opportunities to optimise the pumping stations and helps to develop recommendations for high maintenance and energy usage stations where costs are significant. Understanding energy usage is sometimes very difficult but with the right equipment and data analysis, energy consumption can be quantified and used to monitor pumping performance. Identifying failures before pumps trip and become damaged beyond repair is critical to reducing unplanned maintenance costs. FPS delivers a cost effective solution to enhance pumping station performance and reduce life cycle costs.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. The Hidrostal pump is also able to comfortably handle sludges and slurries at the 8% dry solids content level. All of these versatile characteristics are also available inside the SuperBetsy mobile range of self-priming diesel or electric driven pumpsets. 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.
