BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS OPTIMISED FOR IMO WATERS DESMI HAS DEVELOPED TWO NEW Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS) covering bulker solutions, and ships sailing in International Maritime Organization (IMO) waters only or primarily. The CompactClean Bulker and CompactClean OptIMO systems join the DESMI portfolio of BWMS alongside its CompactClean BWMS. Not all ships are engaged in global trade but rather in regional or domestic trade, and as such, a significant part of the world fleet will never, or only rarely, enter US waters. Such vessels can benefit from a BWMS solution optimised to IMO requirements and not US Coast Guard requirements, and this is how DESMI has developed its new CompactClean OptIMO BWMS.
This BWMS has lower power consumption and fewer UV lamps, so it provides both CAPEX and OPEX savings and a small footprint. Moreover, it meets the USCG requirements and can be operated in a US compliance mode when needed. The CompactClean OptIMO BWMS DESMI provides customers with an opportunity to select a BWMS that is optimised to the vessel’s needs and operation. If max flowrate treatment is required globally, including US waters, then the CompactClean BWMS, the only UV system available that does not employ special flow
reduction when operated in US compliance mode, is the right choice. desmioceanguard.com
SEALLESS PUMP TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES SITE SAFETY THE CONTAINMENT SHELL OF A MAGNETIC DRIVE PUMP provides a complete mechanical barrier, preventing leaks, escapes and emissions of the product being handled. There is no reliance on any internal or external seal system or method of prevention. When it comes to applications that involve toxic, fine, corrosive, aggressive and valuable liquids, HMD’s new CSA (ASME) / CSI (ISO) magnetic drive pumps for chemical and industrial processes deliver ultra-safe and reliable performance. In challenging applications, compliance with stringent
standards calls for a secondary control or containment option to be available to eliminate any possibility of a leak of pumped product, in the highly unlikely event of a containment shell failure. With its CSA / CSI product line, HMD has taken the secondary control/containment options further by ensuring both options are available on separately mounted pumps and close-coupled units. It is believed that this is unique to the HMD Kontro CSA (ASME) / CSI (ISO) sealless pump range. hmdkontro.com
EXTENDED RANGE OF PACKAGE PUMPING STATIONS THE PLANET RANGE OF package pumping stations from TT Pumps has been upgraded to meet the demand for robust and reliable sewage/drainage pumping solutions. Upgrades to the Venus and Mercury models include a new style access cover to meet the requirements of the world and European markets. In addition, a new extension neck is available for both the Venus and Mercury pumping stations, allowing them to be installed at least 1m deeper below surface level without impairment to the structural Quarter 2 2021
strength of the pumping chamber. Fully approved by the BBA, the Planet Range of package pumping stations includes several different models suitable
for small and large applications across domestic, commercial and industrial environments. The Mercury single/dual pump is suited for smaller flows where excavation depth is limited, while the Venus model is suited to use in single dwellings, toilet blocks and small office applications. Larger Saturn and Jupiter dual pumps are also available, along with larger capacities available to order. The range also offers ease of installation and is fully recyclable. www.ttpumps.com www.bpma.org.uk
