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.

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.

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 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.

COMPACT SUBMERSIBLE GREY WATER PUMPS
THE KSB GROUP HAS LAUNCHED a new generation of its time-tested submersible grey water pumps.
The AmaDrainer 3 type series is available in four sizes and is the company’s response to customer requests for a design that is more compact and easy to handle.
The compact pumps feature an integrated float switch and a maximum diameter of 155mm, making them suitable for narrow spaces such as light wells. The maximum head is 11.3m. All four sizes are designed for continuous duty at a fluid temperature of up to 70°C and for very short periods, even up to 90°C.
A new feature is the integrated low water level intake. The two smaller pump sizes can achieve residual water levels as low as 2mm by removing the suction strainer. The larger pump sizes are characterised by free passages of up to 35mm, so they can also transport coarse matter contained in the wastewater. For aggressive wastewater and other fluids handled, a special variant is available for all sizes.
All four pump sets feature a highquality plastic casing, making them lightweight and corrosion-resistant. A jacket-cooled motor permits operation even when the motor is not submerged. In addition, AmaDrainer 3 comes with integrated motor protection. Fitted with a 10m power cable as standard, the pump set allows for more flexible handling.
The versatile pump range can be used for draining shafts and cellar rooms and extracting water from reservoirs and rivers. In emergency situations, the pumps can be used for applications such as draining external basement stairwells and underground passages. The pump sets are supplied ready to be plugged in, enabling fast installation and commissioning.

HVAC circulator pumps never miss a beat
STUART TURNER HAS INTRODUCED a new range of commercial circulators for HVAC applications. The Pulse range features high-efficiency ErP compliant pumps in various sizes with both single and twin-head options for Rp1½ to DN80. The range also contains brass secondary hot water circulators.
The pumps are driven by highefficiency permanent magnet motors with EEI ratings as low as <0.20 and can self-modulate to only deliver what flow is required based on demand. This operating mode offers energy savings of up to 90% compared to old-style fixed speed pumps.
The range uses industry-standard port-to-port connections, meaning that Pulse can act as a quick and easy replacement with no pipework modification required in most cases. They feature a simple to install electrical connection with no need to remove any terminal box.

DRIVING VERTICAL LOW-SPEED CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
W60 VERTICAL LINE MOTORS FROM WEG are said to offer robust design and excellent performance in a wide variety of operating conditions.
The range offers the flexibility of electromagnetic and mechanical design, complying with several applications and segment requirements, such as solutions that demand motors to withstand external axial loads, which are suitable to operate in severe conditions and aggressive environments and allow different cooling configurations.
The optimised design of the motors qualifies them for applications in power generation, water and wastewater, oil and gas and other segments.
