2014 EUROPUMP

Europump visited Scotland in 2014 for its Annual Meeting

Sponsored by WEG Electric Motors, BPMA hosted the 2014Europump Annual Meeting at St Andrews over the period 22-24 May 2014 at the Fairmont St Andrews Resort. Some 150attended the event which provided updates on all technical,marketing and commercial matters currently pertinent toEuropean and American pump companies.

A fantastic partner programme was arranged, including lunchat the famous St Andrews Seafood Restaurant, a visit to theHill of Tarvit and a Falconry display.

Additionally, following the meetings, many of the delegatestook the opportunity to participate in a WEG Electric Motorssponsored golf competition on one of the resort’schampionship courses.

The whole event was marked on the final evening by a GalaDinner at the Fairmont �

Europump Guideline on Pump Vibration publishedin Autumn 2013

For some time there has been confusion about whichvibration standard should be used and when forrotodynamic pumps. The purpose of the guideline wasto present, in one document, the essential points ofeach standard and then to subsequently explain whereeach standard tends to be used.

The guideline is not an alternative to studying the full contentof any of the standards identified with which compliance isalso required, and because it is a summary it does notcontain all the conditional statements and explanations whichwill be within the standard.

John Bower of Flowserve UK produced most of thebackground work for this publication and BPMA wish to thankJohn for his time, patience and efforts. �


Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)

The Department of Energy and Climate Changepublished in July 2013 its ESOS consultation documentwhich sought views on the Government’s approach toimplementing Article 8 of the EU Energy EfficiencyDirective, which was agreed by Member States on 25October 2012 and came into force on 14 November 2012

Background1. Article 8 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (‘the

Directive’) requires all Member States to introduce aprogramme of regular energy audits for ‘large enterprises’.Audits must be undertaken by 5 December 2015, and thenat least every four years from the date of the previousaudit. Government believes that this programme offers asignificant opportunity for the UK. It will help drive thetake-up of cost- effective energy efficiency measures byparticipants, benefiting their competitiveness andcontributing to the wider growth agenda.

2. The ‘Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme’ (ESOS) is theGovernment’s proposed approach to implementing thisrequirement. Under the scheme, approved assessors willcarry out Article 8 compliant ESOS assessments to identifyenergy saving recommendations. While the Directiveprescribes many of the key features that ESOS mustinclude, there is some limited scope for flexibility andinterpretation. This consultation document seeks views ona range of detailed issues around the implementation ofESOS.

3. Following this consultation, the Government will analyseconsultation responses and then develop secondarylegislation, setting out the legal framework for theoperation of ESOS. The Government also proposes todevelop good practice guidance to support organisationsand ESOS assessors in conducting ESOS assessments.

4. The Government’s guiding principles for implementingESOS are to:• ensure that ESOS provides high quality and well-targeted

advice to large enterprises on cost-effective energyefficiency opportunities, driving significant net costsavings;

• ensure a proportionate approach to implementation istaken, minimising the administrative burdens placed onUK businesses;

• ensure ESOS fits with and is complementary to thelandscape of existing energy efficiency and climatechange policy instruments; and

• ensure our implementation of Article 8 avoids ‘goldplating’ that disadvantages UK businesses relative totheir European competitors.

5. The Government’s Energy Efficiency Strategy set out thesubstantial, untapped and cost effective energy efficiencypotential which exists in the UK economy. Through theright action we can unlock more of this cost-effectivepotential, and help to reduce energy bills at a time ofincreasing gas and electricity prices, balance the UK’sfuture energy demand and supply needs, and cut ourcarbon emissions.

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

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

other UK organisations outside the public sector, if largeenough).

8. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will not be requiredto participate, unless they are part of a large corporategroup enterprise. SMEs will be able to carry out ESOSassessments on a voluntary basis and the Governmentencourages SMEs to consider such voluntary action.

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

10. The scheme does not extend to public bodies.

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

BPMA PUBLISHES A GREEN DEAL GUIDELINE ONCIRCULATING PUMP REPLACEMENT

IntroductionThe purpose of this guideline was to present, in onedocument, the essential points that will be required toidentify a less efficient pump installed in a domestic propertyand whether it should be upgraded to a more efficient one.

ScopeWas to give adequate information to the assessor to easilyidentify if an installed stand alone circulating pump is of theold technology where its replacement with a product thatcomplies with the Energy Related Product legislationdisplaying an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) will afford thehouseholder energy savings that meet the Green Dealguidelines.

IdentificationThe easiest way to identify if a circulating pump is post 2013legislation is to check the main body of the pump for aEnergy Efficiency Index (EEI). Legislation came into force onJanuary 1st 2013 and required all manufacturers to identifythat all stand alone pumps are at least 0.27 EEI or lower. �

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

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM)

The Europump Standards Commission agreed toestablish a Building Information Modelling (BIM)working group and sought interested experts.

The BPMA agreed to provide the secretariat of a new WG andnominated a volunteer to be Chairman. The proposedChairman was Mr Wayne Rose of Armstrong Fluid Technologyand his position was sanctioned at the Standards Commissionmeeting held in Zurich on 18th September 2013.

It is understood that many members of Europump alreadywork internally on BIM and BPMA’s goal is to identify anacceptable way forward for the pump industry and otherparties involved.

To explain further , Level 1 BIM has been used across Europefor some time. It involves 3-D modelling, often termed 3-DCAD. We believe the construction industry now faces Level 2BIM. Level 2 promises to transform the design, constructionand operation of buildings by involving all participants in a‘complete’ digital model of a building.

What this actually means to the pump industry still needs tobe defined and hopefully addressed so we have a mutualapproach across Europump. Accordingly, a meeting wasconvened in Brussels in November 2013 to:

• Define what is currently happening across Europe• Identify what has already been done• Identify an acceptable way forward for Europump and theconstruction industry• Identify a work program and timescales �

Market Surveillance – a BPMA view published inJanuary 2014

Market Surveillance is a key element of a fair andefficient EU internal market:

• It should ensure that products placed on the communitymarket comply with EU regulations and do not pose anysafety and environmental threats for users and the public atlarge

• It should ensure a level playing field/fair competition on themarket

• It should safeguard the coherence of the Europeanregulatory framework, the consistency of which depends oneffective enforcement

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

For such reasons the following are considered to be the keyelements of an effective market surveillance strategy that cansafeguard the competitiveness and interests of such as thepump sector;

1. Allocation of sufficient resources (both financial and staff)to market surveillance authorities so they can activelycontrol compliance of machinery entering the Europeanmarket.

2. The setting up of a common Commission- Member Statesco-operation platform under Regulation 765/2008/EC, withan industry advisory forum for preparing Europe widetargeted campaigns focusing on certain products orproduct categories with a view to achieving maximumeffectiveness with limited resources. The decision on theareas to be selected would be made after consultation withstakeholders, including the industry affected by non-compliant products

3. A better coordination of market surveillance andharmonisation of enforcement practices (e.g. a commonapproach to risk assessment) with colleagues in other EUMember States: it is of the utmost importance to enhancemutual confidence, avoid double checks and maximise theuse of human resources for multiple and intelligent marketsurveillance activities.

4. The establishment of close relations between marketsurveillance and custom authorities: all customs officialsshould receive training to help them identify potentiallynon-compliant products (e.g. by making use of themanufacturer’s declaration of conformity, as requested forall harmonised products

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

6. Setting up an agreement between the EU Member Statesto meet a set of essential requirements for efficient Europewide market surveillance. This requires deterrent sanctionsagainst rogue traders (e.g. fines, destruction of noncompliant goods at the responsible market operator’sexpenses).Sanctions should be considered also againstconformity assessment bodies (e.g. economic or related toaccreditation), if necessary.

7. The Commission to finance, e.g. within the framework ofthe European Structural funds, assistance to Member

States whose geographic or economic conditions placethem in a weaker position to fight against illegal tradeand unlawful imports from abroad. This is especially truefor countries with maritime ports, where 90% of thegoods imported into the EU transit every day.

8. Cooperation with colleagues outside the European Union:close cooperation between all authorities involved incustoms controls and market surveillance from the mainEU trade partners, and in particular EU neighbours, isnecessary to ensure that most imported machines arecompliant.

9. Internal coordination at national level across the variousauthorities involved in the enforcement of different legalrequirements (health and safety, environment, energyefficiency…) because machinery often has to comply withvarious types of regulatory requirements.

10. Increased awareness among market operators about theworking methods and actions through a Europeanawareness campaign (including awareness about theobligations related to the affixing of the CE marking andabout sanctions in case of non-compliance), Economicplayers should be encouraged to inform authorities aboutnon-compliance. �

Pumps and Energy – did you know?

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

In businesses, buildings, households and industries, pumpsexist - in some form or another. They are key componentsin maintaining comfort levels in buildings. They deliver anddistribute clean drinking water from water treatment plantsthroughout cities, while at the same time removingwastewater. And, they are highly present within a widerange of industries. The world depends on them, but manypumps are also serious energy wasters, leaving behind asignificant carbon footprint. This is because today’s pumpsaccount for no less than 10% of the world’s electricityconsumption and because the majority of electricity is stillproduced using fossil fuels.

Pumps and the world’s electricity consumption

• Two third of all pumps use up to 60% too much energy.• If every business switched to a high efficiency pump

system there could be global savings of 4% of the totalelectricity consumption- comparable with the residentialelectricity consumption of 1 billion people.

The surprising truth about pumps

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

There is no doubt that pumps are important, but they arealso a major source of energy wastage. However, withoptimised pump technology available today, it is possibleto reduce their electricity consumption immediately andstart to reduce this figure NOW.

• You cannot go through a day without using pumps

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


7


temperature in office buildings and transportingwastewater to sewage plants. All of these routinesrequire pumps.

• Switching to energy efficient pumps could make savingsequivalent to the residential electricity consumption ofone billion people

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

• 2 out of 3 pumps are wasting energy

In two thirds of pumps and pump systems currentlyinstalled, it is possible to save up to 60% energy byswitching to pumps with high-efficiency motors andvariable frequency drives.

• In the chemical industry there are more pumps installedthan there are employees

A chemical industry study conducted in Germanyrevealed that for every employee, chemical companieshad an average of 1.25 pumps installed.

• Buildings today account for 40% of the world’s energyuse

This means that the resulting carbon emissions aregreater than those from flights, trains, buses and cars

Pumps and Energy - did you know? (continued)

SOLUTIONS INIT

combined. By optimising current pump installations inbuildings this number can be significantly reduced.

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

Needless to say, switching to energy efficient pumpsystems involves certain investment costs. However, asthe payback time is remarkably low, you will experienceconsiderable savings for many years to come.

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

• Most pumps waste energy 95% of the time

In many pump installations, the motors run at topspeed, regardless of actual requirements. This meansthe pumps are needlessly inefficient. In fact, most pumpmotors only need to run at full speed for 5% of thetime.

So What Should You Do????

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

BPMA High Efficiency Circulating Pumps ALERT!!!

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

You may recall that the EU Commission estimates thatinefficient heating system small circulators alone areresponsible for about a 20% share of household energy billsand removing them and replacing them with intelligentcirculators could save several billion euros by 2020 across the27 European member states – equivalent to the total annualelectricity consumption of Ireland.

The British Pump Manufacturers Association Ltd (BPMA) andits Council members including some of the top pumpmanufacturers such as Wilo, Grundfos, Xylem and Armstrongmet with the National Measurement Office (NMO) in October2013 to discuss how they could help to monitor the productsthat do not comply with the ErP regulations. The NMO are theUK Market Surveillance Authority in respect of Products inscope of the Energy Related Products Directive.

The new ErP Directive states that old uncontrolled pumpswould need to cease being manufactured from the end ofDecember 2012 and thereafter only the new high efficiencyproducts would be distributed by all pump manufacturers., incompliance with the ErP regulations.

However the BPMA and its members have seen a number ofnon-high efficiency pumps on the market and they arebecoming increasingly concerned about the influx of non-Erpproducts imported from countries such as China. They areconcerned that these pumps, although cosmetically lookinglike the new high efficiency models, in some cases, do notmeet the requirements of the ErP regulations.

In their discussions with NMO the BPMA presented a numberof products which they deemed to be non-compliant. The NMOare responsible for enforcing the Energy Related ProductsDirective within the UK. They operate direct enforcement andthis can be in the form of the education of the manufacturerthrough to court action if they believe that any company areignoring the clear guidelines set out in the ErP Directive.

The NMO confirmed that they were aware of concerns inregard to Circulators and informed the BPMA that they willinitially be testing 20 circulators across 3 member statesincluding the UK and also 10 water pumps across 2 memberstates again including the UK, to ensure that all regulationsare being complied with. Accordingly, BPMA will continue towork with the NMO to monitor the situation. �

European Directives

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

“New strategy for the single market” -On 9 May 2010 Professor Mario Monti (formerlyCommissioner for the Internal Market and for Competition)presented to the European Commission a report on a newstrategy for the Single Market, which should be the basis fora Commission initiative to re-launch the Single Market.While analysing the shortcomings of (and reasons behind) afull completion of the EU single market, the report alsocontains a series of proposals (mainly legislative) to fill thegaps in nine identified areas:• Make the single market work for citizens, consumers and

SMEs, speed up implementation of the Small Business Actand adopt the Statute for a European Private Company

• Shape Europe’s digital single market, create a regulatoryframework for electronic communication and for e-commerce (for both consumers and providers) and adoptan EU copyright law

• In the areas of energy, climate change and environment,establish new EU regulatory frameworks for the large-scaledeployment of renewable sources, smart metering, smartgrids and transparent wholesale energy markets, set up asingle market for green products (EU-wide standards formeasuring and auditing carbon footprints and for energyefficient products, including trade certificates for renewableenergy products); step up targeted EU funding for energyinfrastructure

• On the single market for goods, review the EU standardsetting system (striking the right balance between EU andnational levels); adopt the EU patent and a single patentjurisdiction as a matter of urgency

Advance the physical infrastructure of the single market:facilitate the combination of public-private partnerships withthe use of structural funds; examine whether an ad hocEuropean regulatory framework would be needed toencourage long term investors’ focus on infrastructureprojects; provide maximum legal security as regardscompetition policy in the area of infrastructure investmentand financing.The report also recommends completing the Servicesdirective in the area of industrial services, making recognitionof professional qualifications faster and easier andencouraging mobility of researchers and highly mobileindividuals by coordinating social security systems.

INTERNAL MARKET

MACHINERY DIRECTIVEOld (98/37/EC) New 2006/42/ECThe European Commission and JRC are carrying out a two-year study on the impact of potential amendments to theMachinery Directive 2006/42/EC (MD), as well as the ATEXDirective 94/9/EC and Pressure Equipment Directive97/23/EC (PED). The study’s kick-off meeting took place atthe end of January 2014. The aim is to examine theeconomic, social and environmental impact of extending thescope of these directives to include equipment installed andused on mobile offshore units

Machinery Directive / Outdoor Noise Directive –possible mergerA stakeholder workshop is scheduled for 11 March 2014 todiscuss the CEPS study on the merger. The consultant incharge of the study on a possible merger of the OutdoorNoise Directive 2000/14/EC (OND) and the MachineryDirective 2006/42/EC (MD) will present the final report andpolicy recommendations.

On the basis of this report and the consultation withstakeholders and Member States, the Commission is likely tolaunch a formal impact assessment as the next step. If themerger goes ahead, it will probably happen during therevision of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (over theperiod 2015–2017).A meeting of the Noise Working Group of the EuropeanCommission will take place in the afternoon of 11 March 2014to discuss the results of this study and most certainly noiselimitsThe new Directive 2006/42/EC came into effect as from 29December 2009. The BPMA have now issued usefulinformation on the requirements of the New MachineryDirective and also captive screws for guards. To comply fullywith the new directive members should work to the revisedtext of standard EN 809 1998 +A1:2009 which was publishedby BSi February 2010. A preliminary version of the proposedrevision of the existing Europump Guideline has now beenCirculated ( 3 pages ) . This ensures that the pump industryfully understand its obligations.The Regulatory Committee on Machinery endorsed the secondedition of the guide on the Machinery directive on 2 June2010. This second edition covers all annexes and is availablein English on the Commission website. It will be translatedinto all EU languages and these translations should be madeavailable by the end of 2010.CEN TC 197 Previously issued a Resolution C3/2007 whichconcerns the result of a questionnaires on drafts andstandards under the New Machinery Directive.The Standards which required work are EN 809, EN13951 ,EN12162 , EN ISO 20361, EN13386, EN1829-1 and 2. Thiswork is now completed.

Europump Guideline• In line with 2006/42/EC• Highlights the specifics of pumps• Interpretation of partly completed machinery vs. Complete

machinery• Definition – Pump without motor is machinery• Fasteners for guards (differences between a guard and a

protective device)• Will be available on the Europump website in June 2011

PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE97/23/EC (no significant change since last Directivesupdate)

Europump Position paper have now been modified to insertthe new Machinery Directive and Atex numbers and areavailable on the Europump websitehttp://www.europump.org/

The 5th annual meeting of the EU-China working group onpressure equipment took place in November in Brussels. Themain objective of this EU-China Regulatory Dialogue is toensure regulatory convergence between the EU and China inthe long term, with a view to eliminating obstacles to tradeand investment.Points of discussion included the follow-up of the exchange oflegislation and supporting documents agreed in previousmeetings (Licensing guide; Office CSEI in Europe;Comparison of standards); an introduction of regulatorydevelopments (EU side: TPED, new legislative frameworkpackage,…China side: WTO matters (boilers:BT/WTO/CHN/407); an exchange of view on marketsurveillance/export control; cooperation at ISO level; energyefficiency (Boiler); and a working plan for 2009. As pumpsare excluded within Europe the BPMA through Europump andOrgalime will attempt to ensure the same position is taken inChina .PED Directive 97/23/EC, and reorganisation of the workinggroup and its chairmanship. The PED is expected to berevised during 2012, so the preparation of the revision shouldstart in 2009. This potential revision has been subject todiscussions and consultations by the Commission over thepast few months. There will therefore be no integration of the


12


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

ATEX (EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES) 94/9/EC ATEXDirective 94/09/ECOn 5 February, the European Parliament’s legislativeresolution (first reading) on the proposal for a Directive onequipment and protective systems intended for use inpotentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) under the “NLFalignment package” was adopted in plenaryThe alignment of the Directive on equipment and protectivesystems for potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX94/9/EC) with the New Legislative Framework (Regulation765/2008) calls for an update of the guidelines on themeasures manufacturers should take in the event ofpublication of a new edition of a harmonised standardrelevant to their products. These are not legally bindingguidelines, but merely assist manufacturers in adapting tothe principles of the New Legislative FrameworkTo reiterateon the 5th March 2012 Orgalime issued a position paper onthe Commission proposals package for the alignment of nineDirectives with the New Legislative Framework which containsspecific comments relating to the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.These comments relate to the inconsistency in the definitionsof “component” and “equipment” with the general meaning of“products”; the absence of an obligation to carry out sampletesting of marketed products; the difference in the order ofmarkings; language requirement of the documents fornotified bodies; and supporting evidence for adequacy of thetechnical design solution. The package is being discussed inthe European Parliament and Council, and final adoption isforeseen at the beginning of 2013.The Europump Atex Guideline is currently being updated toreflect any changes .To reiterate the document has now been split into two parts .

• Part 1 being the background to the directive and will beuseful to companies moving into Atex applications.

• Part 2 will be more specific to particular areas that haveaffected the pump industry since the Directive came intoforce in July 2003. Modifications are ongoing to thisguideline in particular to certain wording in part 7(mechanical seals) and new directive number references.

The European Guidelines on the application of Directive94/9/EC –are available .Finally, new references of harmonized standards (consolidatedlist) under the ATEX Directive have been published in theOfficial Journal. These are available on the Commissionwebsite.The Lisbon Treaty and New Legislative Framework will causesubstantial changes to manufacturers in the future.Due to the Lisbon Treaty Articles will change from 95 to 114for manufacturers and 137 to 153 for end users.The New legislative framework will affect the declaration ofconformity, documentation and the marking of products. Themarking of electric products will change mid 2012 and are aresult of new IEC standards being produced in particular IEC60079 which introduces equipment in Group III valid forelectrical equipment to be used in dust explosive areas. Alsointroduces classes of dust. For now it is believed there will beno change in marking of mechanical equipment. Membersshould start checking that electrical suppliers are working toIEC 60079.There are also discussions taking place regarding thedevelopment of future international standards to ensuremechanical equipment can be operated around the world inexplosive environments, however the consequence of such a

standard could be 3 party inspection of manufacturedmechanical goods.Other changes to standards include ;EN13463 to IEC 80079EN13463-1 to IEC 80079-36EN 13463 (others) to IEC 80079-37

LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE2006 /95/ ECOn 5 February, the European Parliament’s legislativeresolution (first reading) on the Low Voltage Directive (LVD)under the “NLF alignment package” was adopted in plenary.An updated list of harmonised standards relating to the Low

Voltage directive was published in the Official Journal of theEU on 4 September 2013. The list contains new series ofstandards for the safety of electrical equipment of machines(EN 60204 series) and the safety of electric and opticalcables (EN 60811 series).On the alignment of the LVD 2006/95/EEC with the NewLegislative Framework (NLF), the final text under negotiationin trialogue between the European Parliament, Council andCommission will most probably be adopted in July 2013.Transposition into national law will then last 2 years beforeapplication. Due to the change of the directive numberthrough this recast process, the Commission is currentlydrafting a mandate for the harmonised standards revision.

The European Commission has now published the updatedguidance document on the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/ECThe amendments to the current guide deal with thecodification of the previous Directive 73/23/EEC and theinterface with the “new” Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Theguidance document highlights the editorial corrigendum toDirective 1993/68/EC that clarifies Article 10 (1) regardingthe placing of the CE marking and also touches on theinterface with the General Product Safety Directive2001/95/EC, reflecting guidance issued by EC DG Health &Consumer Protection.To reconfirm that any reference to the LOW VOLTAGEDIRECTIVE should be to – 2006/95/EC no reference to theold numbers should made.New references of harmonised standards for low voltage werepublished in the Official Journal of the European Union inJune 2008 (OJ C144 of 2008-06-10).

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility DIRECTIVE)89/336/EEC2004/108/ECOn 5 February 2014, the European Parliament’s legislativeresolution (first reading) on the Electromagnetic CompatibilityDirective (EMCD) under the “NLF alignment package” wasadopted in plenary.On the alignment of the EMCD 2004/108/EC with the NewLegislative Framework,. Transposition into national law willthen last 2 years before application.On the directive’s applications, Eurelectric and ESMIG haverecently raised concerns on the negative impact of IECrecommendations on the communication of smart meters. Adraft Application guide to European Standard EN 50160 on“voltage characteristics of electricity supplied by publicdistribution systems” is currently being adopted by CENELEC.Because new technologies and equipment introduce new andmore severe disturbances in the environments in which theyare used, ESMIG (smart meters), EURELECTRIC (electricityproducers, suppliers, traders and distributors), ORGALIME,CEN and CENELEC organised a joint workshop on EMCdisturbances in the frequency range 2-150 kHz on 12September 2013 in Brussels. The aim of this workshop was todiscuss EMC disturbances from various industrial perspectivesand design possible solutions. A CENELEC Study Report

published in May 2013 on “Electromagnetic Interferencebetween Electrical Equipment/Systems in the frequency rangebelow 150 kHz” confirms that much electrical equipmentwhich shows high emissions in this frequency range canpotentially cause electromagnetic interference with otherelectrical equipment. Active Infeed Converters (AICs) are anexample of such equipment with high emissions. The StudyReport indicates that the increasing application oftechnologies and systems with EMI potential requires ageneral solution, and industry agrees that a horizontaldiscussion is needed.

As a reminder 9 Directives with the New LegislativeFramework which contains specific comments relating to theEMCD 2004/108/EC are ongoing.In view of the specific objective of the Directive (to guaranteethe electromagnetic compatibility of electrical apparatus andinstallations by imitating disturbances, not protecting thehealth and safety of users), the concepts of “risk” and“serious risk” will be clarified. The language of the safeguardclause has been adapted to fit the specific objective of theDirective. A full alignment with the provisions on notifiedbodies is envisaged, but the existing version of the modulesshould be kept.An updated list of harmonised standards was published in theOJEU

The European Commission has finally published theimplementation guidelines of the EMC Directive 2004/108/ECon its website.No reference to the old number should be made incorrespondence , paperwork and certification.

Electro Magnetic Fields Directive (EMFD)Directive 2013/35/EU (New Number)On 4 February, the European Commission launched a publicconsultation on the preliminary opinion on potential healtheffects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) preparedby the Scientific Committee on Emerging and NewlyIdentified Health Risks (SCENIHR). The purpose of thisexercise is to update the two opinions delivered in 2009 bythe Committee and to provide more evidence in areas whereknowledge gaps have been identified. The report covershuman exposure issues, health effects from Terahertz (THz)technologies, radiofrequency (RF) fields, IntermediateFrequency (IF) fields, static magnetic fields, and combinedexposure (to EMF or EMF and other sources of stress).On 27 March 2014, the European Commission will organise apublic hearing preceding a workshop on “Electromagneticfields and health effects: from science to policy and publicawareness”, co-organised by the European Commission andthe Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC). This hearingaims to complement the public consultation to gather specificcomments, suggestions and contributions on the scientificbasis of the preliminary opinion referred above. The deadlinefor submitting comments to the preliminary opinion is 16April 2014

On 29 June, the new Directive 2013/35/EU on the minimumhealth and safety requirements regarding the exposure ofworkers to the risks arising from physical agents(electromagnetic fields) was published on the EU OfficialJournal (L179). It entered into force immediately, givingMember States until 1 July 2016 to transpose it into nationallaw. It repeals Directive 2004/40/EC (which never enteredinto force).As a reminder, the new Directive covers all sectors but mainlyconcerns workers exposed to a level of risk. It incorporates

new international exposure limits, based on guidelines of theInternational Commission on Non-Ionizing RadiationsProtection (ICNIRP). The legislation obliges employers toassess the risks of exposure to electromagnetic fields and totake the necessary measures to reduce them, for example byreplacing equipment or using interlocks or shieldingmechanisms.The new Directive addresses the short-term direct biophysicaleffects (e.g. tissue heating, stimulation of muscles, nerves orsensory organs) and indirect biophysical effects (e.g.interference with medical electronic equipment such ascardiac pacemakers).The adoption of the final text by the European Parliament’splenary is scheduled for May/June 2013. The agreed text willalso be formally adopted by the Council. The Directive shouldbe transposed into national law by all Member States by July2016 at the latest.The directive stipulates an obligation for employers to carryout risk assessments and, if necessary, measure or calculatethe levels of electromagnetic fields to which workers areexposed. Employers must ensure that the exposure ofworkers is compliant with a series of exposure limit valuesregarding thermal and non-thermal effects of electromagneticfields both on health and senses, take corrective measures ifsuch values are exceeded, and take measures aimed atavoiding or reducing risks to a minimum. Exposure limitvalues are indicated in the annexes to the directiveAs a reminder, and despite the lobbying efforts developed atthe time of discussion, this directive sets exposure limitvalues and action values, and defines employers’ obligationsto determine the exposure and assess the associated risks.The manufacturers and employers organisations insist thatmany working processes will be disturbed by the applicationof this physical agents directive, and it may even render theuse of some machines or processes impossible e.g. MagneticResonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, spot and seam welding.

Construction Products Regulation (CPR) – RevisionOn 1 July 2013, the Construction Products Regulation No305/2011 entered into force.It is the belief of the Pump Industry that pumps are excludedfrom this Directive as they need to comply to moreappropriate Directives such as Machinery , Atex , Low Voltageetc .Unfortunately the revision of a series of Standards EN 12050parts 1 to 4 has led to an Annex ZA being introduced whichSubsequently calls for the CE marking of pump products tothe CPR . Europump are now working on a position paper toassist the pump industry.As a reminder, regarding the Council of European Producersof Materials for Construction (CEPMC) guide on theConstruction Products Regulation No 305/2011 (CPR), ameeting took place on 9 May in the CEPMC premises in orderto comment and finally validate the draft CEPMC. AlthoughOrgalime participated in the elaboration of certain chapters,the general feeling in reading the guide led to an impressionof confusion (some chapters are too long, others are notrelevant to the manufacturers, some clear mistakes wereincluded). Therefore, Orgalime decided to draw up its ownguide of interpretation.The British Construction Products’ Regulation Guide publishedby the British Association for Construction Products isavailable from S. Schofield .The new Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011(repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC) was published inthe OJEU (all language versions) on 4 April 2011. It enteredinto force on 24 April 2011, and is directly applicable in theMember States. However, most of the provisions (Articles 3 to28, 36 to 38, 56 to 63, 65 and 66, and Annexes I, II, III andV) will apply from 1 July 2013, and transitional provisions areforeseen under article 66.The European Commission should now embark on the

drafting of a guideline, and CEPMC (construction productsassociation) will actively contribute to it.

As a reminder the Commission have proposed this new textto remove the existing Directive with regulation. This couldaffect the pump industry has it is currently believed withinEuropump that pumps are not part of the ConstructionProducts Directive. The BPMA and Europump will monitor thisposition closely , unfortunately for now the French havechose to work to the CPR whilst the UK, Germany and Italyare saying pumps are excluded.

DRINKING WATER DIRECTIVE99/83/ECAlthough the Construction Products Regulation entered intoforce on 1 July 2013, no construction product in contact withdrinking 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 “fitnessfor contact with drinking water” characteristic.There is still no activity in the European Commission on thistopic, but some Member States have made progress in theirdiscussions. In particular, Germany has issued a new draftcomposition list of approved metallic alloys. Interestingly, thislist has not been communicated by the 4MS.This list will apparently be enforced in December 2014 inGermany and July 2013 in the Netherlands. It contains littlenew information.Europump still see this issue as a huge barrier to trade acrossEurope and has now formed a working group to look into all ofthe current issues and to see if a position paper or guidelinecould be issued to help members sell their products acrossEurope. The next meeting will be held in Paris 30th April ,BPMA members interested in being involved should contact SSchofield .

Bill Harper the CEN rapporteur has chosen to step down fromthis role in March 2013 , this is mainly due to frustrations withregards to the lack of commitment and direction from theCommission. A copy of his final report is available fromS.Schofield BPMA

Also within the UK The BPMA held in September 2013 ameeting to review a Anglian Water technical/commercialdocument on regulation 31. Also discussed at this meeting wasWRas approval , WRas Pressure testing of pumps and theinconsistency across the water authorities in the UK.The BPMA have agreed to investigate this further and visit DWIin London. Minutes of this meeting are available from SSchofield.

The 4MS – soon to be 5MS with Portugal - published a newdocument on their website in the summer: a compilation of thepositive lists of substances used for organic materialsacceptance for contact with drinking water. This spreadsheet isnot yet a harmonised list, but clearly shows what is authorisedin France, Germany and the Netherlands (the UK does not usesuch positive lists). An update of the positive list of metallicalloys is still awaited.On standardisation issues, DG Enterprise has sent guidance toCEN on regulatory aspects. CEN should be able to formallyaccept Mandate M/136 early next year and consult eachconcerned TC/WG for the drafting of harmonised standards.With regards to the CE marking of construction products incontact with drinking water, the standardization process is stillongoing. Regulatory guidance to the Technical Committees isstill under progress and should be issued by the end of year,after consultation of national experts. In parallel, the 4MS haveissued a new document on their website (hosted by theGerman Federal Environment Agency, UBA): “Assessment ofCementitious Products in Contact with Drinking Water”. Thisdocument reflects the common view between UK, Germany,France and the Netherlands on the assessment of suchproducts. New documents are awaited concerning organic and

metallic materials, possibly this summer.

The 4MS (France, Germany, Netherlands, UK) public seminaron harmonisation of hygienic requirements for materials andproducts in contact with drinking water took place in Berlin on2 March 2011. The 4MS formalised their cooperation with adeclaration of intent to harmonise their national regulationsand at least adopt a common approach. They invited other EUcountries to join. On metals, they are expected to issue arevised version of their report on metallic materials, whichwould include accepted (assessed) composition lists for alloys(brass, gunmetal, stainless steel) and which would provide amethodology for acceptance of metallic products. On organicmaterials, they intend to align their national positive lists, butno results are expected before 2016 (with a possibleintermediary list in 2012). On non-metallic materials testing,they are looking at organoleptic parameters (taste & odour),colour & turbidity, microbial growth… As a reminder, the newConstruction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 does notforesee harmonisation of hygienic requirements for materialsand products in contact with drinking water, nor will theDrinking Water directive.In the meantime CEPMC (construction products association) iscollecting facts on the barriers and difficulties faced byindustry due to the lack of harmonisation in preparation for apossible action towards the European Commission

As a reminder, the task group aims at developing a note onthe current problems met by industry, collect cases ofproblems linked to the current situation of non-harmonisednational EAS schemes, prioritise the main problems, andpropose possible ways to make progress. Two main pointsshould be highlighted: the current systems constitute a barrierto free circulation of goods and they substantially limitinnovation for the products concerned. This “white paper” ismeant to be issued in the spring of 2011 and presented to theCommission with the objective of re-launching discussions atEU level.

Developments to date• In a letter of March 2009 the Commission stated that the

EAS had been cancelled.• The Commission confirmed that the EAS was not

proceeding. The CPD continued to offer a framework forharmonization of practice at the European level, butMandate M136 should be revised.

The use of the Provisions of the CPDThe construction products directive does not introduces newpractices , it simply identifies common elements such as testmethods to be used in conjunction with nationalarrangementsThere are however disadvantages :

• It covers only national regulations• It does not cover all products• It does not eliminate differences in national schemes and

acceptance levels are not laid down.The 4 MS InitiativeFaced with no EAS and limited benefits from the CPD the 4member states (D, F, NL, UK) committed themselves to try togain the advantages offered by the EAS by adopting commonpractices in their four countries. It is believed that this activitywill offer wider benefits. Other member states couldvoluntarily adopt the practice being developed. The commonpractices will be offered to the commission as a possible basisfor 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

Mandate M136 and future CEN workA second revised draft of M136 was presented to SCC in Jan2010 and accepted . Main changes were the withdrawal ofAnnex IV on Dangerous substances and Annex V on EAS. Anew Annex IV is to be written to:• Refer to WG3 work• Provide a general framework of regularity guidance to CEN

harmonized standards.

The GoalThe CPD harmonization and MS voluntary cooperation whilstproviding real benefits, will not themselves achieve commonpractice across Europe. Most stakeholders support theintroduction of a single scheme.During the recent Europump meetings in September 2011 itwas reported by Profluid (French Association) that the Goalwas to specify what test will be required so CE Marking couldbe placed on the products . The response from members ofthe group was they believed it would not be possible to CEproducts to the Drinking water directive and acceptance levelswould stay at national level . It was agreed to contact the CENRappoteur Bill Harper for clarification on this issue .Below please find the response from Bill HarperAs regards CE Marking, it is used with products to signifycompliance with notified national regulations – in this caseregulations covering the acceptance of products in contactwith drinking water. The CE Marking can be applied in thosecountries (the 4MS and a few others) that have suchregulations. It is not relevant in countries (the majority) thatdo not have (formal) regulations. The problem is that sincenational regulations vary, the CE Marking relevant to wherethe product is placed on the market is likely to be applicableonly to that single country. There will be some benefit fromthe use of common test methods (and the results shouldaccepted in different countries), but The CE Marking will notbe a “universal passport” across all MS.

New Legislative Framework (NLF)On 5 February 2014 the European Parliament adopted its firstreading position on the eight remaining directives (includingATEX, LVD, SPVD, EMCD, MID) which are part of the “NLFalignment package”, alongside the final amendments (LowVoltage, Simple pressure vessels, ATEX, Non-AutomaticWeighing Instruments, EMCD, Measuring instruments,Explosives for civil use, Lifts), approved by the Council andthe Commission during the trialogue negotiations. On each ofthese directives, the Council published information notesstating that it would adopt the final text in conformity withthe EP’s position. The formal adoption by the Council,publication in the OJEU and entry into force 20 days later areawaited in the coming weeks. Implementation will take placetwo years after entry into force (approximately first quarterof 2016).

As a reminder, the package includes the Following Directives,(Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC; ElectromagneticCompatibility Directive 2004/108/EC; Simple Pressure VesselsDirective 2009/105/EC; Measuring Instruments Directive2004/22/EC; Non-automatic Weighing Instruments Directive2009/23/EC; Civil Explosives Directive 93/15/EEC;Pyrotechnic Articles Directive 2007/23/EC; ATEX Directive94/9/EC on equipment and protective systems intended foruse in potentially explosive atmospheres; Lifts Directive95/16/EC).The adapted directives will be re-numbered and will have tobe transposed into national law within 2 years

Market SurveillanceThe trialogue negotiations on the Product Safety and MarketSurveillance Package continue to be blocked in the Council onthe controversial marking of origin issue (Article 7 in CPSR),despite repeated efforts by the Greek Presidency to get amandate to start negotiations with the Parliament on thePackage.The proposed Regulation on consumer product safety (CPSR)(COM(2013)78), further amendments to the Commissionproposal were published in mid-September 2013 (CPSR;MSPRIn its position on the draft report on the CPSR (consumerproduct safety regulation), Orgalime opposes unclearrequirements regarding consumer safety for manufacturersand market surveillance authorities, and requests clearerrules for assessing the safety of products and the avoidanceof administrative burdens which do not improve safety. Itopposes the addition of new markings which are ineffective,confusing and costly, referring in particular to theRapporteur’s suggestion for systematic third-partycertification, and the Commission proposal to mark allconsumer products with an indication of origin.

As a reminder, DG Enterprise and Industry (ENTR) and DGPublic Health and Consumers (SANCO) have embarked on thepreparation of a “Market Surveillance Package” with the aimto streamline all market surveillance-related requirementsand procedures from the New Legislative Framework and theGeneral Product Safety Directive 2000/139/EC. In theory, theGPSD covers market surveillance in the non-harmonised areafor consumer products, while the NLF covers marketsurveillance in harmonised areas for consumer and industrialproducts. In practice, there is an obvious overlap in coverage(some products can fall under both directives) andconsequently of procedures, which creates confusion forMember States authorities as well as economic actors.In theory, the GPSD covers market surveillance in the non-harmonised area for consumer products, while the NLF coversmarket surveillance in harmonised areas for consumer andindustrial products. In practice, there is an obvious overlap incoverage (some products can fall under both directives) andconsequently of procedures, which creates confusion for

Member States authorities as well as economic actors. At thisstage, the European Commission faces difficulties in definingthe scope of and responsibilities for this packageWithin the BPMA an issue was raised with circulator pumpsand supply of what was seen to be non compliant pumpsbeing sold onto the UK market . This issue has subsequentlybeen raised with the National Measurements office who saythey are investigating , however contact with the NMO wasApril 2013 and we are now in March 2014 with no furthernews . BPMA has subsequently chased the NMO on manyoccasions and now asked its council members to write totheir local MP to put further pressure on this governmentdepartment.

Dual-use itemsIn the context of the set-up of a Community regime for thecontrol of exports, transfers, brokering and transit of dual-useitems, on 7 February 2014 DG Trade published a documenton the common set of rules, key principles and parameters aswell as types of export authorisation that this regime wouldpresuppose. The export authorisations apply to dual-useitems as listed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 428/2009,non-listed items which may be controlled if their use isintended for biological, chemical or nuclear weapons orballistic missile weapons programmes and, in exceptionalcases, non-listed dual-use items to be controlled if their usegoes against public security or human rights values.

Following the 2011 Green Paper on the EU dual-use exportcontrol system, the European Commission is still preparingpolicy options proposals to rethink the patterns of the exportcontrols system, address the various implementation issues,and establish a system that could ensure equal requirementsof exporters at EU level.This Regulation set up a Community regime for the control ofexports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items. The2011 proposal updates the EU control list (Annex I), makesmodifications to the EU General Export Authorisations (AnnexII) and introduces delegated acts in order to allow theCommission to rapidly remove destinations and/or items fromthe scope of existing EU General Export Authorisations.

ENVIRONMENT

WEEE AND ROHS DIRECTIVES2012/19/EU & 2011/65/EU

On RoHS,A stakeholder consultation was launched by DG Environmenton 20 December 2013 (until 28 February 2014) on anexemption request under RoHS: “Lead and hexavalentchromium in reused spare parts, recovered from industrialmonitoring and control instruments placed on the globalmarket before 22 July 2017 and used in category 9equipment placed on the market before 22 July 2024,provided that use and reuse takes place in auditable closed-loop business-to-business return systems, and that the reuseof parts is notified to the consumer.The new RoHS directive came into force as of 2nd January .Monitoring and control equipment will be effective as of22/7/14. Industrial monitoring and control equipment as of22/7/17.New Standard now available for the assessment of electricalequipment EN 50581.

• Separate but more or less equal scope as WEEE Directive• 10 groups of equipment• Pumps not specificly mentioned• Pumps are out of scope• Editorial revision of the EUROPUMP Guideline

In particular, the position urges the Commission to align asmuch as possible the interpretation of NLF provisions in theFAQ on RoHS with the Blue Guide.

Recast RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU has been published in theOJEU on 01.07.2011. It will enter into force on 21 July 2011.It will then have to be transposed into national law and willbe applicable 18 months after entry into force, on 2 January2013. Equipment that was outside the scope of Directive2002/95/EC, but which would not comply with this Directive,may continue to be made available on the market until 22July 2019. The new RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU had nowbeen adopted by parliament. Swimming pool pumps will beincluded in scope other pumps are the same as the originalRoHS directive. Monitoring and Control instrumentation willbecome part of the scope 22/07/2014. Industrial monitoringequipment will be part of the scope 22/07/2017. No newsubstances are banned in the revised Directive.

On WEEE,The Commission recently received notifications from Bulgaria,Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Swedenregarding their full transposition of the revised WEEEdirective (WEEE2). Belgium, Estonia, Latvia, Austria and theUnited Kingdom have only partially transposed the directive,and the remaining 18 Member States are still expected toinform the Commission on their transposition status. Thedeadline for submission of these national WEEE notificationswas 14 February 2014.

The Recast WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU has finally beenpublished in the Official Journal of the European Union (L197/38 – 24.07.2012) on 24 July 2012 and entered into forceon 13 August. Member States will have to transpose theRecast WEEE Directive into national law by 14 February 2014at the latest.

A “Big issue” is potentially rising• As in RoHS there are ten product groups• An additional group will be added – valid by August 2018• A lot of pumps will be covered by August 2018• A strategy has to be drawn and presented to EUROPUMP“member companies”

o Options, solutions, costs other efforto Time scheduleo Working Group

Potentially this could mean that Europump may put in placethe structure for a collection scheme to be used a Nationallevel.

Also In the UK BEAMA have been approached by theEnvironmental Agency with regards to Shower pumps . TheEA believe shower pumps should be part of the scope ofWEEE. To date no contact has been made with the BPMA whowill dismiss this claim if approached on the basis of theexisting Europump Position paper. Members should contactthe BPMA if any issues should ariseAs a reminder and in summary, the Council agreed a closedscope for 6 years (Parliament agreed an open scope) afterentry into force of the recast directive, meaning that recastWEEE would apply only to the 10 existing categories for 6years. After 6 years, there will be an open scope including inprinciple “all EEE” with a possible shift to fewer productcategories (Parliament agreed 5 categories), but a greaternumber of products within these categories, also possibly inthe mechanical sector. Exclusions from the directive wouldinclude equipment designed to be sent into space or forresearch and development; large-scale stationary industrialtools; large-scale fixed installations; means of transport forpersons or goods, excluding electric two-wheel vehicles whichare not type-approved; non-road mobile machinery madeavailable exclusively for professional use; medical devices, invitro diagnostic medical devices and active implantablemedical devices. The Commission can propose changes to thescope after an impact assessment during 3 years after entryinto force (including the parameters to distinguish between

large and small equipment).

At the recent Europump meeting the discussion was againraised on would pumps be within scope of the reviseddirective . It is believed that the scope will be the same asthe original WEEE Directive until 2018 , i.e. pumps are not inscope. The scope will be extended to any electrical item after2018.

CHEMICALS (REACH)Amendment of directives 67/548/EEC &199/45/ECThe REACH Regulatory Committee approved the inclusion ofnine new substances in the REACH Authorisation List (AnnexXIV) on 20 February. The draft proposal and itsaccompanying annex are available from the secretariat. Thesesubstances will be subject to authorisation between 36 and53 months after the entry into force of the Regulation(according to the transition period specified for eachsubstance).ECHA also published a fifth recommendation for the inclusionof five Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in theAuthorisation list, namely: N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF),Diazene-1,2-dicarboxamide (C,C’-azodi(formamide))(ADCA),Aluminosilicate Refractory Ceramic Fibres (Al-RCF), ZirconiaAluminosilicate Refractory Ceramic Fibres (Zr-RCF), 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol, ethoxylated (4-tert-Octylphenol ethoxylates) (4-tert-OPnEO).As a result of this recommendation, the Commission is nowexpected to adopt a draft amendment to Annex IV which isforeseen to enter into force in February 2015.The use of Trichloroethylene (latest application date:21.10.2014, sunset date: 21.04.2016) and of Chromiumcompounds, including chromium trioxide (latest applicationdate: 21.03.2016, sunset date: 21.09.2017) will beprohibited if they have not been authorised for use after thesunset date.

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

REACH & CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging ofsubstances and mixtures) regulations both apply on allsubstances, including nanomaterials.REACH is the best possible framework for the riskmanagement of nanomaterials but more specificrequirements within the framework have proven necessary.It is essential to access transparent information onnanomaterials and products containing them, but there is noimmediate need to require information about all products inwhich nanomaterials are used.A main challenge is to establish validated methods andinstrumentation for detection, characterisation and analysis,completing information on the hazards of nanomaterials anddeveloping methods to assess exposure to them.The next regulatory review will take place in 2015 at thelatest.On the Candidate list, on 3 September, ECHA launched apublic consultation on 54 potential Substances of Very HighConcern (SVHC). The deadline for interested parties tosubmit comments is 18 October.ECHA has published an updated FAQ about REACH (see newQ&A in the chapter on information in the supply chain), aFAQ on the Implementation of Annex XVII to REACH onrestrictions and a Guideline on the interpretation of theconcept “which can be placed in the mouth” as laid down inthe entry 52 of Annex XVII.Four Commission Regulations amending Annex XVII REACH(restriction on the manufacture, placing on the market anduse of certain dangerous substances, preparations andarticles) have recently been published in the Official Journalof the EU (L.252/1 (cadmium), L252/4 (lead) - 19.09.2012 &L.253/1 (mercury), L253/5 (phenylmercury) - 20.09.2012).The Downstream Users of Chemicals Co-ordination group(DUCC) has published a report on experience gained with thedevelopment of Downstream User Chemical Safety (DUCSA) and DU Chemical Safety Report (DU CSR).On 20 June, ECHA launched a public consultation on its draftrecommendation of ten new priority substances to beincluded in the Authorisation List. The deadline forinterested parties to submit comments is 19 September2012.On registration, the first deadline expired on 30 November2010 for substances produced or imported in large volumesas well as certain volumes of carcinogenic, mutagenic andreprotoxic (CMR) substances and chemicals that are toxic tothe aquatic environment. Around 4900 substances wereestimated to be registered by the end of November but only3400 phase-in substances have been registered. 24,675registration dossiers have been submitted for 4300substances (including 3400 phase-in substances).Approximately 86% of registrations were made by largecompanies and 14% by SMEs. Representatives (companiesrepresenting non-EU manufacturers) made 19% ofregistrations. Most of the registrations were made by

companies based in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands,France and Belgium. Precise figures are available on theECHA website.On the Candidate list, the Member State Committee (MSC)meeting in early December agreed unanimously to add eightSubstances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) to the CandidateList. These substances include Chromium trioxide, acidsgenerated from chromium trioxide and their oligomers,cobalt(II)sulphate, cobalt(II)dinitrate, cobalt(II)carbonate,cobalt(II)diacetate, 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol,which are either carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic (CMR)substances. However the MSC unanimously agreed that thethree isomers of trichlorbenzene could not be identified as“PBT-like” substances under Article 57 (f) of REACH andshould not be added to the candidate list. These decisions willsoon be published on the ECHA website.

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

Chromium TrioxideThis is not law yet and the product can still be used! ECHArecommended that Chromates should be authorized, but it isup to the Commission to take the final decision. There aremany consortiums attempting to influence the Commission onthe use of Chromium Trioxide. The main consortium is anorganization called laxness. For now members who wish tocontinue using this substance they need to apply to continueusing Chromium Trioxide before November 2014 . If you missthis date you will not be able to use this substance after May2016

EU INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION ANDCONTROL DIRECTIVE 96/61/ECReplaced by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED)(No further news)On 11 July the European Commission’s Seville IPPC Bureaupublished the final draft BAT guidance for pulp and paperinstallations. On 5 July, the draft final BAT guidance for EU oiland gas refinery operations was also released. The first draftof the Best Available Techniques (BAT) reference documentfor large combustion plants was published in the last week ofJune 2013. The directive’s provisions will apply to largecombustion plants with a thermal input of over 50 MW in2016

As a next step, from 7 January 2014 IED will apply to allexisting installations previously subject to the sevenDirectives that IED replaces, including the IntegratedPollution Prevention & Control (IPPC) Directive, WasteIncineration Directive (WID), Solvent Emissions Directive(SED) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Directives (but not LargeCombustion Plants (LCPs).The European Commission is currently assessing thepossibility of extending the scope of the Industrial EmissionsDirective (IED) to small combustion installations below 50MW.According to the Commission’s proposal, the expectedbenefits of the revision will affect health and environment,with the inclusion of large combustion plants, reduction ofadministrative burden, unified application of BAT, and noimpact on competitiveness, Completion of first reading in theEuropean Parliament and Council is expected for January2009, while the end of the co-decision process andpublication of the directive is scheduled for December 2010.The transposition of the directive to the Members States

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

On 11 March 2009, the EcoDesign Regulatory Committeeapproved new eco-design rules setting efficiency standardsfor industrial electric motors. Motors will have to meetminimum efficiency standards from 2011. The first phase willbe introduced 16th June and motors must comply to IE2efficiency levels. Tougher standards will apply to large motorsfrom 2015 and all motors two years later, thus cutting theannual energy consumption of these engines by around 135terawatt hours.A guideline has now been developed by Europump forCirculators and Water pumps and is available from SSchofield upon request.CirculatorsThe first phase came into effect as of January 1st 2013.After sustained lobbying efforts, the European PumpManufacturers Association EUROPUMP succeeded innegotiating an acceptable text with some importantmodifications introduced at the last minute: the date of thesecond stage was set at 1 August 2015 instead of 1 January

2015; the Annex I benchmark was set at 0.20 instead of 0.18which was technically incorrect; and the mention “putting intoservice” in article 1 (scope) was deleted as it would havemeant that millions of circulators in wholesale stock would goto waste because they had already been placed on themarket but not yet put into service at the time ofimplementation of the regulation.Water PumpsWhilst the first phase was introduced January 1st 2013unfortunately technical issues with the EN standard havemeant that a transition paper has been required from theCommission . It is hoped that this will be replace by thestandard during the summer of 2013

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

The bench mark set by the commission is MEI of 0.7 (70%cut off).

Copies of the prEN 16480 standard on how to work out theMEI of a water pump and also the Europump guideline areavailable from S Schofield upon request.On 7 January 2014, Commission Regulation 4/2014 amendingRegulation 640/2009 on Ecodesign requirements for electricmotors was published in the EU Official Journal. Theamendment focuses on scope exclusions, entered into forceon 27 January 2014, but will apply six months later on 27July 2014.The final report of the VHK Omnibus study on water pumps isstill awaited. The review of tolerances used in themethodology for calculating energy efficiency with regard towater pumps was foreseen no later than 1 January 2014.

Energy Labelling DirectiveDirective 2010/30/EUThe revised ECOFYS draft interim report on the review of theEcodesign (ErP) and Energy Labelling (EL) Directives, theresults of the online survey (which closed on 31 January) anda report on Task 3 (detailed assessment of potential scopeexpansion through case studies) were published on 7February. The Commission’s deadline for comments is 4March. The final ECOFYS report is expected for release in June2014.The interim report consists of the first findings andrecommendations in order to achieve the Ecodesign andEnergy Labelling goals, mainly analysing the coherence withother EU policies, scope expansion, appropriateness of theenergy label, the rulemaking process, as well as the means tobetter address market surveillance and enforceability.On energy labelling in particular, the Commission alsopublished a non-paper on four label design options currentlyproposed for further testing, and an LSE/IPSOS interim report‘Study on the impact of the energy label on consumerunderstanding’. The latter document reports that sevenMember States find that the A-G scale used in the original EUenergy label remains the easiest to understand, which theECOFYS draft report also concluded

On the state of implementation of the directive, 9 energylabelling measures have been adopted and 6 implementingmeasures + 2 horizontal measures (online labels & use oftolerances) are under preparation. On the review of theDirective foreseen by 31 December 2014 (Article 14 Directive2010/30/EU), issues to be considered include theeffectiveness of the Directive and of its delegated acts, thecontribution of the “advertising provision”, the effectiveness ofthe “public procurement provision”, and the need foramending the design and content of the labelDirective 2010/30/EU The directive entered into force on 20May 2010, and will apply from 20 July 2011. Points (d), (g)and (h) of Article 5 (responsibilities of suppliers) will applyfrom 31 July 2011. Similarly to the Energy Performance ofBuildings Directive, the text of the directive comes from anagreement reached by the Council and European Parliamenton the Commission proposal for the recast of the EnergyLabelling Directive. As a reminder, the main aspects of theagreed text include an extension to energy-related productshaving direct or indirect impact on energy consumption orother essential resources during use, and the layout of thelabel to remain an A to G colour scale, with the creation ofthree additional efficiency classes (A+, A++ and A+++) witha limit of seven. A rescaling of classes must take place when asignificant proportion of products on the market achieve thetwo highest energy efficiency classes and when additionalsavings may be achieved by further differentiating products.The effectiveness of the Directive and the implementingmeasures must be reviewed by the end of 2014.

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

BPMA need to ascertain if this will affect the labelling ofCirculator Pumps. Suppliers will also be obliged to establishtechnical documentation, design calculations, test reports...and may use documentation already established in accordancewith relevant Community legislation (i.e. the EcodesignDirective).http://ec.europa.eu/energy/demand/legislation/doc/2008_02_22/2008_consultation_energy_labelling_document_en.pdf

Directive on Energy EfficiencyDirective 2012/27/EUThe Commission has released an EU strategy roadmap whichpaves the way for assessing the actual achievements in theimplementation of the EED against energy efficiencyobjectives, and for taking possible measures/reviewing theEED to guarantee that these objectives will be achieved.Under the EED, Member States had the legal obligation tosubmit their indicative targets by April 2013. The indicativetargets submitted indicate that about 17% of energy usereduction would be achieved by 2020, and not 20% as is thetarget. Progress has been achieved since 2010 when it wasestimated that the EU would achieve only about a 9%reduction. Nevertheless, a 3% gap appears to remain. Aplanned Impact Assessment (IA) and initiative should,therefore, provide assessment of the progress towards the2020 target and analyse whether further action is neededwithin the 2020 time-horizon.Following the release of the EU Strategy Roadmap, theEuropean Commission has launched a public consultation(running until 28 April, 2014) to seek the opinions of thegeneral public and all stakeholders on the issues related toenergy efficiency policies and measures for 2020 and 2030.The replies submitted to this consultation will provideimportant input to the review of progress towards the 2020energy efficiency target under Article 3(2) of the EnergyEfficiency Directive 2012/27/EU. The EED review will start inJune 2014.The directive entered into force December 4th 2012 andmember states need to transpose into national law by 5thJune 2014 .

The European Commission has started the preparation ofimplementation guidelines, with the objective to ensure atimely and correct implementation of the EED. Theseguidelines, currently developed in close cooperation withMember States through the EED Committee, are expectedto be finalised and published in the first half of 2013Under article 8 of the Directive enterprises that arenon SME are “subject to an energy audit carried outin an independent and cost-effective manner byqualified and/or accredited experts or implementedand supervised by independent authorities undernational legislation by –three years after entry intoforce of this Directive- and at least every four yearsfrom the date of the previous energy auditThe directive establishes a common framework of measuresfor the promotion of energy efficiency within the EU inorder to achieve the 20% energy efficiency target by 2020and contains provisions for further improvements beyondthat date.Each Member State will have to set an indicative nationalenergy efficiency target, based on, primary or final energyconsumption, primary or final energy savings or energyintensity.By 30 June 2014, the Commission will assess the progressachieved and decide whether the Union is likely to achieveenergy consumption of no more than 1474 Mtoe of primaryenergy and/or no more than 1078 Mtoe of final energyconsumption in 2020.In relation to public buildings, Member States will have toensure that as from 1 January 2014, 3 % of the total floorarea of heated and/or cooled buildings owned by theircentral government is renovated each year. The EuropeanParliament, the Council and the Commission agreed tosubmit themselves to a comparable voluntary undertaking(subject to budgetary and procurement rules).In addition, Member States are required to establish along-term strategy for mobilising investment in therenovation of the national stock of residential andcommercial buildings.Member State will set up an energy efficiency obligationscheme ensuring that, energy distributors and/or retailenergy sales companies, achieve a cumulative end-useenergy savings target of 1.5 % of the annual energy salesto final consumers (by the end of 2020), with someflexibility on how to achieve this target as long as these donot lead to a reduction of more than 25 % of the amountof the energy savings target.The directive also contains provisions on energy audits andenergy management systems, energy metering, billinginformation, and promotion of efficiency in heating andcooling, energy transformation, transmission anddistribution and energy services.The directive should result in a 17% improvement inenergy efficiency by 2020 compared to the 20% target,and will be completed by other measures.Both the Council and the European Parliament still have toformally endorse the agreement. Publication in the OJEU isexpected for October 2012.

The UK Government have chosen to introduce therequirements of the Directive through a Energy SavingOpportunity Scheme ( ESOS) . The ESOS schemeinformation has been circulated for consultation to allnecessary stakeholders. The BPMA responded to thisconsultation.The results of the ESOS consultation will be available bythe summer 2014. Also the UK government working withBSI have written a PAS ( Public Available Specification)51215 for the competency of a lead energy assessor. TheBPMA have also made relevant comments to this document,both are available from S. Schofield upon request.

INTERNAL MARKETOUTDOOR NOISE DIRECTIVEDirective 2000/14/EC (amended by the Directive2005/88/EC)(no significant change since last Directives update)The study on the inclusion of Directive 2000/14/EC onOutdoor Noise into the Machinery Directive was due to startsoon. However the European Commission is holding internaldiscussions and no revision of the Machinery Directive isforeseen in the next 2 years.It also confirmed that if a merger takes place, and the ONDis integrated into the MD, the latter will also be alignedwith the New Legislative Framework. A meeting to startdiscussions is still expected after the summer. No furtherdetails on such discussions are available to dateThe European Commission proposal for a revision ofDirective 2000/14/EC is not expected before 2012.

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

Assessing the effectiveness of the recast Energy Performanceof Buildings Directive (EPBD), the EU executive concludedthat there is a lack of harmonised data, and other significantbarriers to the uptake of energy efficient investments.As a reminder, during the implementation period of thedirective, the Commission authorised CEN, CENELEC andETSI, by means of Standardisation Mandate M/480, to adopta methodology that calculates the energy performance ofbuildings and promotes their energy efficiency.

Environmental footprint initiativeDG Environment closed the call for volunteers for the firstphase of the environmental footprint pilot scheme on 26July. Stakeholders who were willing to propose a productcategory for the development of Product EnvironmentalFootprint Category Rules (PEFCRs) or a sector for which todevelop Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules(OEFSRs) were invited to participate in this call. On the basisof the list of products and sectors proposed for the pilotscheme, applications were received for the construction ofelectricity transmission lines, lighting systems, batteries,metal sheets, water treatment, chemistry machinery, cookerhoods, high-voltage circuit breakers, ICT (data storage), ICT(UPS, Uninterrupted Power Supplies), refrigerators, toiletsand washing machines.

Europump at this stage chose not to get involved, howeverafter discussion it is now felt that the pump industry shouldengage in phase 2 which will start early in 2014 .The cost per company will be between 15,000-30,000 euros.The cost to any National Association involved will be around200,000 euros. It is not clear if Europump members will beallowed to join the project late.

The completed selection of the participants in the pilot willbe available at the end of September. The participatingstakeholders will then be able to contribute to the OEFSRs orPEFCRs which apply to them. The category or sector ruleswhich result from the pilot phase could become thelegitimate PEF product rules or OEF sector rules which allstakeholders in the sector, either in the EU or atinternational level, can use. For a better understanding ofthe process for developing these rules, testing verificationand communication vehicles, the Commission established aGuidance for the implementation of the EU ProductEnvironmental Footprint (PEF) and a Guidance for theimplementation of the EU Organisation EnvironmentalFootprint (OEF).The Commission plans to kickstart the first wave of thethree-year pilot phase in November 2013.A second call for volunteers for feed, food, drink and relatedproducts is currently open for the development of productenvironmental footprint sector rules (PEFSR) andorganisation environmental footprint sector rules (OEFSR).Applications could be submitted until 28 March 2014

Water BlueprintNo further news since last updateOn 14 October, the European Commission adopted theblueprint to Safeguard Europe’s Water Resources(COM(2012)673).In the building sector, the Commission suggests setting upbinding Ecodesign measures for water-related products,developing voluntary ecolabel and green public procurementcriteria, better enforcement of the Water FrameworkDirective and especially a search for water pricing/cost-recovery, raising consumer/user awareness regarding wateruses through foot-printing, voluntary labelling andcertification schemes, and encouraging water re-use fromwastewater plants and industrial installations for irrigationand industrial processes, including a regulation establishing

common standards.The second call for the EIP Water Action Group proposalsclosed on 31 January 2014. The Commission received 38expressions of commitment that will be analysed duringspring 2014, which will then allow the new Action Groups toemerge. Nine Action Groups have currently been set up. Tosupport the priority areas of the Water EIP under theFramework Programme 7 (FP7) Water Innovation andDemonstration call, 11 innovative demonstration projectswere selected at a kick-off meeting organised by DGResearch and Innovation on 24 January. These projects willreceive €50 million funds from the European research andinnovation 2013 budget

UK Pump Marke t Prospec ts 2014-2018

UK Pump Market Prospects 2014-2018

By Vivian Woodward of European IndustrialForecasting Ltd

Historical Market Size and Growth – Long-Run TrendsMarket size averages around $1.5 billion per year(around £975 million at 2010 exchange rates), withparts and repair accounting for almost 39% of thetotal. Overall market growth is relatively slow anddependent on replacement demand because theinstalled base is large in relation to the need forexpanded plant capacity. Replacement demand istherefore much more important than suggested byparts and repair, and may account for as much as 75%of the market.

Although overall market growth is slow, there can be shifts inthe structure of demand because of changes in the relativegrowth rates of different end uses. For example, public sectorconstruction resulted in a huge growth of demand since 1997owing to the election of a Labour government, but has nowbeen cut back. The rapid build-up of chemical plant capacityin the Middle East and Asia has adversely affected investmentin the UK chemical industry. Also, the rapid development ofshale gas/oil in the USA has resulted in a major gain in thecompetitiveness of USA chemicals relative to the UK and therest of Europe.

The Importance of Exports and ImportsExports probably account for around 60% of sales, althoughmeasurement problems prevent a clear comparison ofexports with the level of total sales. The pattern of exports bydestination 2003-2013 (see table) shows some markedchanges. Exports grew by 7.9% per year 2003-12, comparedwith 6.5% per year for imports. Exports grew by 3% in 2013,whereas import fell by 0.8%.

The re la t i ve per fo rmance of advanced compos i tewear components in pump & ro ta t ing equ ipment

The Relative Performance of Advanced CompositeWear Components in Pumps & Rotating Equipment

By: Jason Sedgwick of Lanson Polymers Limited

Continued advancements in materials technology, withregard to high performance thermoplastics andcomposites, have given rise to a far wider acceptanceand significantly increased specification for thesematerials, for use as bearings, wear rings and thrustplates in pumps and rotating equipment.

In recent years, there has been an explosion in the use ofcomposite materials across a whole range of industry sectors,from aerospace to power generation. The use of orientedcarbon fibres with a polymer matrix have given designers farmore flexibility to replace traditional metallic componentswith materials that offer specifically tailored properties alongwith benefits such as weight saving and greater resistance toenvironmental conditions.

In pumps and rotating equipment, more OEM’s and end usersare recognising the benefits that PEEK/Carbon Fibrecomposite wear components can offer over traditionalmaterials, such as metals or rubber.

Materials that have been specifically formulated for pumpbearing applications include ingredients such as carbon fibre,PEEK, PTFE and other nano-fillers to provide the optimumbalance of properties to cope with high loads, aggressiveenvironments and limited lubrication.

Furthermore, because these materials are non-galling / non-seizing, running clearances can be significantly reduced todramatically improve the efficiency of the pump. Also, in theevent of a failure they will act as the sacrificial part, avoidingcostly refurbishment of the impeller, shafts and casings.

Key benefits that are now being recognised are:– Better Corrosion Resistance in Aggressive Environments– Excellent Abrasion / Erosion Resistance– Reduced Running Clearances, leading to;

• Increased Bearing Efficiency• Vibration Reduction• Efficiency Gains• Reduced Power Consumption

The key to correct specification of carbon fibre / compositewear rings is down to a full understanding of the operatingparameters and correct specification of fibre orientation andpolymer matrix materials.

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

A recent study carried out by a major chemical company, whorefurbished an existing 20 year old cooling pump withcomposite wear rings and reduced clearances, concluded thatthe energy savings alone, due to increased efficiency andflow rate, equated to £27,500.00 per pump, per year.

Along with these direct cost savings, it was also observedthere were a number of indirect benefits resulting from theuse of composite bearings:

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

Additional features of PEEK / Carbon Fibre compositesmaterials include; Low Friction, Low Coefficient of Expansion,Impact Resistance and Thermal Shock Resistance.

The use of PEEK / Carbon Fibre composite materials is nowwidely accepted by various industry bodies.

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

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

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

However, with the correct analysis of application andperformance requirements, it is possible to specify advancedcomposite bearings that will offer significant benefits tousers. �

Er. . . i s E rP hav ing the des i red e f fec t?

Er….is ErP having the desired effect?

By: Gary Wheatley of Wilo UK

Back in January 2013 we were all waiting for the EU’sErP Directive to kick in and change the way pumpswere specified and installed for ever. But would it havethe desired effect? Would it make a huge dent inemissions across the Europe and help the UK and otherGovernments to reach their, in the main, optimistictargets for energy efficiency and emissions reductions?

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

One year on from the ErP Directive coming into force, it’sworth reflecting and seeing exactly what effect the changeshave had here in the UK and seeing whether there has beenany noticeable change in the way people think and act.

The situation is that the previously applicable A-G energyefficiency classes have been replaced by the EnergyEfficiency Index (EEI) specified on the pump. The currentlimit EEI value of glandless circulating pumps installedoutside the heat generator - external pumps – not thoseincorporated in combi or system boilers at this stage – isdefined as 0.27. The energy efficiency classes previouslyspecified are superfluous, because as a rule, pumps arebetter than the minimum requirements of the previouslyhighest rated A pump standard. From August 2015, the EEIlimit value will be reduced to 0.23. This will also apply toglandless circulation pumps, designed to operate in newlyinstalled heat generators or solar thermal systems(integrated pumps). In the last implementation stage, theregulations starting from 2020 will also apply to thereplacement of integrated pumps in existing heatgenerators. The regulations apply to all glandless circulatingpumps in heating and air conditioning applications with theexception of drinking water circulation pumps.

Many of the high-efficiency pumps available already fulfil allthe requirements of three EU regulations from the EuropeanErP (Eco-design) Directive. The regulations stipulate thelimit values previously mentioned that become increasinglystrict from 2011 to 2020 for the energy efficiency of electricmotors, circulation pumps and the hydraulic efficiency ofglanded pumps.

It’s worth remembering that high efficiency pumps wereactually here and available well before January 2013. Highefficiency pumps were there to choose and install if thespecifier, contractor or installer wanted to use them longbefore the ErP Directive arrived. But of course there was onemajor encumbrance – the cost. However worthy and ethicallycorrect it might have been to select and install high efficiencypumps from an energy use reduction or CO2 emissionreduction point of view prior to January 2013, most selectionswere made with a large degree of ‘cost awareness’ as part ofthat process.

Most manufacturers had developed new highly energyefficient pumps for a number of end uses, but they still hadstandard efficiency products in their product portfolios whichdid the job well, could often be cheaper than the highefficiency models and they were more often than not,specified because the capital cost was less and kept the costof the overall project in question down. Important if you aretendering for a contract where you know that price is anissue. Which it usually is.

However frustrating it was to have high quality, highefficiency pumps available for specification right up until theend of December 2012, as a manufacturer, you knew that itwas unlikely any of your new pumps were going to besupplied out of the factory and into projects around thecountry. Until legislation said the old standard pumps were nolonger allowed and the new high efficiency pumps must beused, those excellent new pumps would usually stay firmlyrooted to the shelves in the warehouse. It was a strange, butunderstandable example of common sense overcomingcommon sense!

It’s proof again, if proof is needed, that legislation is usuallyneeded to ensure that energy efficient measures areintroduced. So long as people have the choice of standard orhigh efficiency, there will always be people willing to buysolely on price! It’s human nature. Now merchants arerunning out of the very small existing stock of the olduncontrolled pumps, high efficiency pumps are becomingaccepted and installed in droves across the UK, includingsome housing associations undertaking pump replacementprogrammes to help reduce their tenants’ electricity bills. Butthis level of installation will have to continue for many yearsto see the huge number – simply millions - of old pumps, stilloperating in peoples’ homes, wasting huge amounts of energy.

From January 2013, Wilo and other pump manufacturersbegan to see the previously scorned models begin to sellwell. In new projects, there was no choice but to utilise thenew high efficiency models. 90% of the small circulatingpumps that had been available in 2009 for example, havenow disappeared. That’s quite a large proportion of therecognised market to go so quickly but highlights how poormany were when it came to energy consumption. Althoughthe concept of lifecycle costs were not new in January 2013and had been utilised for many years, it was a concept that

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

Demand from oil and gas in the North Sea, although in long-run decline, has been boosted recently by some major newprojects coupled with expansion of investment inrefurbishment. A recent assessment of shale gas prospectsindicates large potential, but this is not expected to lead toan early increase in gas supply - mineral rights are owned bythe state rather than individuals (unlike in the US), which is amajor disincentive.

The end use sectors hit hardest by recession were chemicalsand general industry. Within general industry, demand fromconstruction related sectors, such as building services andconstruction dewatering, were worst affected. Powergeneration is the only end use sector expected to growsignificantly relative to other sectors, owing to the urgentneed to replace existing coal and nuclear plant capacity.However, construction has only recently been authorised fornew nuclear power plants, a delay of over 10 years owing togovernment vacillation over energy policy. The UK iscommitted to the closure of coal fired power stations over thenext few years and power blackouts are a real possibility.Demand from new gas and nuclear plants is expected to growstrongly towards the end of the forecast period. �

suddenly became very important and the additional costs thatinevitably follow the development of exciting new technology– in this case the vastly improved electronics and the arrivalof electronically commutated motors (ECMs) - were justifiedat every turn by the life cycle costs of the new highefficiency, more expensive pumps and the huge savingspossible over a ten or fifteen year operational time span thatwould pay for the increased capital cost of the pump at theoutset many times over.

Again, these were arguments used extensively before January2013, but arguments that often bit the dust when it came todecision making when using the older standard pumps couldsave in some cases around 50% of the up-front cost of thepumps that were being recommended, even though theywould use vastly more energy and be responsible for farhigher levels of emissions.

The availability of a highly efficient and ErP compliant rangeof pumps provides enormous planning security and with theright software, the choice of the most suitable pump can bemade quickly and reliably.

The arrival of the EU ErP Directive has clearly begun to makesignificant inroads in the energy consumption figures, and asa result the emissions figures, but it seems fair to say, there’sa long way still to go to hit the targets being demanded. It’sa good first step in the right direction, but there are manymore steps to take.

The age of the energy efficient pump is very much here andhere to stay! �

Mechan ica l sea ls – a fuse in the sys tem

Mechanical seals – a fuse in the system

By: Chris Dean of AESSEAL plc

In any pump, there will usually be four main sealingareas to consider –

• Suction flange• Discharge flange• Back cover or casing gasket• Mechanical seal

With pump flanges, which are relatively large in diameter andheld in place by multiple bolts, a wide surface area seals a highhydrostatic force. Casing gaskets are narrower and againsecured by a large number of bolts, providing the necessaryclosing force. By comparison, mechanical seals have a smallcross-sectional surface (about 3mm), see the same fluid,temperature, and pressure, but are the only dynamiccomponents within the equipment. This coupled with thenarrow sealing area means that any fault in the system willresult in a leak at the mechanical seal. So, while the seal is notnecessarily the cause of system failure, it is the first place thatthe symptoms will occur – a fuse in the system.

When maintaining equipment, this is not always taken intoaccount and the seal is simply replaced without investigatingthe cause of failure, and consequently the problem almostinevitably reoccurs. Whereas if a fuse in a plug repeatedlyblew, the electrical equipment itself would be examined todetermine the cause. The mechanical seal should therefore betreated as the fuse in the system, an alarm bell that alertsmaintenance engineers to possible failure elsewhere.

To function effectively, seals prefer to be lubricated with aclean, cool fluid, but this can be compromised by faultsanywhere in the system. All seals must be permitted to leak asmall amount, and this small amount of leakage, allows a “fluidfilm” of lubricant to pass between the seal faces keeping theseal faces cool and ensuring long life. However, around 99 percent of failed seals never “wear-out” and have therefore failedfor some other reason demonstrating the need to monitor thewhole system.

Why do seals fail?Seals only ever fail for one of two reasons – the seal faceshave worn out, or the seal has suffered damage. If the former,replacing the seal is the logical course of action but if thelatter, it’s likely that the rest of the system will need to beinvestigated in order to diagnose the true cause of damage.

A common cause of seal failure is the use of oversized pumpswhich are too big for the needs of the system. Excessive flowis compensated with partially-closed discharge valves or“throttling back”. This results in changes to the velocity andpressure of the fluid and therefore hydraulic balance of theequipment by operating away from the best efficiency point.Restricting flow can raise the temperature inside the pump dueto the unused energy, affecting seal function and theperformance of the lubricant. Throttling back can also damagethe seal as the recirculating liquid will follow the path of leastresistance and return to the point of suction rather thanflowing through correctly, causing a vortex and non-laminarflow at the impeller, instability in the pump shaft and

negatively impacting the fluid’s capacity to lubricate themechanical seal.

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

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

How can seals be protected?By using a dual seal system, where two sets of seal faces areinstalled as an enclosed unit. This unit contains its owncirculating fluid, with the lubricant inside the dual seal often ata higher pressure than the fluid in the seal chamber. Thismeans contaminated fluid cannot leak into the seal, leavingonly cool, clean and compatible lubricant passing between andprotecting the seal faces.

With dual seals, periodic vibration poses reduced concern aseven if the space between the seal faces begins to increase,only clean fluid can pass between them. Similarly, seal facescan open when pumps run away from their best efficiencypoint and using dual seals eliminates any risk of contaminationas the cool lubricant is contained in a separate vessel. The factthat dual seals are self-contained also negates the problemscaused by pumps running dry, as the supply of lubrication isuninterrupted.

The benefits of a dual seal system over a single sealarrangement are easily demonstrated when looking at the useof water. In single seal systems, water used to clean or coolthe seal faces can reach levels over two gallons per minute,which over a year can exceed one million gallons. This canincur not only significant costs with regard water usage andeffluent treatment, but can lead to evaporation costs if thewater enters the product. A dual seal system frequently usesless than a gallon a month offering significant cost savings andhas a positive impact on the environment.

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

SummaryThe secret to long seal life is to lubricate them with cool,clean and stable fluid. However, their narrow cross-sectionand dynamic nature makes them the fuse in the system – thefirst thing to fail if something is wrong elsewhere. Vibration,oversized pumps, pump misuse, miss-installation and dryrunning can all cause a seal to fail, often well in advance ofits faces wearing out at the end of its natural life. Using adual seal system encapsulates the seals in a controlledenvironment, allows close regulation of the temperature andcleanliness of the lubricant, and ultimately protects the sealfrom disturbances or failures elsewhere in the system. �

Meet ing new regu la t ions and max im is ingenergy e f f i c iency

Meeting new regulations and maximising energyefficiency

By: Marek Lukaszczyk ofWEG Electric Motors (UK) Ltd

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

The 2005/32/EC Ecodesign Directive regulations wereintroduced in June 2011 to establish minimum efficiencyrequirements for electric motors (see the box out for adefinition of motor). This Directive is based on the IEC60034-30:2008 harmonized efficiency levels standards IE1(Standard Efficiency), IE2 (High Efficiency) and IE3 (PremiumEfficiency). The European Ecodesign is also the first Directivethat extends beyond the electric motor, including also theutilization of variable speed drives.

From June 2011 until now, the regulations stipulated thatmotors shall not be less efficient than the IE2. However, thenew regulations take it one step further, stipulating that fromJanuary 1, 2015 motors with a rated output of 7,5-375 kWshall not be less efficient than the IE3 or meet the IE2efficiency and be equipped with a variable speed drive (VSD).

If they haven’t already done so, now is the time for pumpmanufacturers to put in place strategies to meet theseregulations.

Motors account for as much as 70% of industry’s energyusage and are responsible for over 40% of total globalenergy consumption. It’s clear to see that increasing theirefficiency will have a massive impact on reducing energyconsumption worldwide, and no wonder that much is beingdone to increase their efficiencies. Selecting motors thathave been designed with energy efficiency as a priority andthat comply with the latest regulations are the first step inconforming.

However, there is another step to take in achieving the mostenergy efficient set up throughout the drive chain andmeeting the regulations, and that is the control of themotors. By optimising the motor using a VSD or invertorenables energy savings of between typically 40% and 60% tobe realised.

VSD describes equipment used to control the speed of motor-driven machinery. Typically applications do not run at full load100% of the time, and this is specifically true for variable

torque applications like pumps. Therefore, varying the speedof the drive by installing a VSD can help users save energyand money by controlling the speed of the process andadjusting it to the specific load at any time, compared withother techniques for flow control.

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

Of the 65% of electricity consumption for driving motors, anestimated 20% is wasted in throttling mechanisms that areused to regulate the flow of air and liquids. Therefore, if thesystem requires varied flow, then installing a variable-speeddrive can save a lot of energy, which is key to productivityand it is far more efficient to control the speed of the motor.

There are many considerations to take when determiningwhich VSD and drive solution will offer the most energysavings, for example, when and how long will the motor berunning for, what is the application and how much doesenergy cost? �

Gas separa t ion in indus t r i a l p rocesses

Gas separation in industrial processesAdditional benefits offered by component recovery by membranes

By: Shaun Hampson of Sterling-SIHI

Solvent recovery in the chemical industry as well ascircle gas treatment for high-density polyethyleneproduction (HDPE) and vapour recovery units (VRU) forvapour petrol handling in tank farms are some of themembrane processes in industrial gas separationapplications. A combination consisting of a membraneprocess and adsorption is also possible.

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

The driving force for this process is the partial pressuredifference of the components. This is ensured, in general, byrealising a general pressure difference, which is sufficientlylarge to ensure a partial pressure differential for acomponent. It must be taken into account, in this connection,that the component concentration to be separated “moves”through the membrane. If we take the example of a mixtureof air and 10 % toluene by volume, the partial pressure ofthe toluene is approximately 1 bar, if the overall pressure is10 bar. In the case of an ideal separation through themembrane, the toluene concentration on the low-pressureside is 100 %. The partial pressure is also 1 bar where thepressure is 1 bar. In this case, there would be no drivingforce available for the toluene in spite of the pressuredifference of 9 bar. The driving force needed to economicallyoperate a membrane process depends, in this connection, onthe application and required cleaning performance.

Membrane applicationsTechnologies for gas separation can be subdivided intodestructive technologies such as combustion or oxidation andnon-destructive technologies. Non-destructive technologiesare to be preferred from an economic and ecologicalperspective, as they allow for organic component recovery.Non-destructive technologies thus offer two process steps inone: The gas separation or exhaust air purification andrecovery and thus a possible return of the organiccomponents into the production process.

Non-destructive technologies are:• Condensation• Adsorption• Absorption• Membrane separation

Condensation with membranesAn advantage of the membrane in contrast to purecondensation is the fact that the membrane process can becarried out at higher coolant temperatures. A condensationtemperature of –50 °C is, for example, required for thecondensation of toluene from air in order to achieve emissionlevels of 1 g of toluene/Nm³ of air.

A value of 1 g of toluene/Nm³ of air is already achieved for acondensation temperature of +20 °C if the exhaust gas isinitially directed onto a membrane and the permeate, whichhas been highly enriched with toluene, is subsequently passedthrough a condenser. A membrane and a vacuum pump, whichrealises a permeate pressure of 100 mbar, are required inaddition to the condenser for the test set-up with membrane.The higher procurement costs are already offset after a shorttime due to the savings in relation to the operating costs.

This principle will be clarified using the example of the vinylchloride (VCM) recovery process. The VCM loaded exhaustgas, which mainly consists of the monomer, is routed via acompressor and a multistage condensation process. Theremaining gas stream is fed to a combustion process. Thecondensation temperatures decrease from the first to the laststage. The first stage works with normal coolanttemperatures, while the final stage works with outlettemperatures, which are significantly under the freezingpoint. Membrane stages are, in the meanwhile, used world-wide for VCM recovery. In this connection, it is irrelevantwhether an existing production system is being converted ora new production system is being equipped, right from thestart, with membranes. The compressor, which provides thenecessary driving force for the membrane, is alreadyavailable. The membrane replaces the condensation stagesand thus reduces the production operating costs. Inspections[2] have shown payoff periods of less than one year in thecase of converted production systems. In the case of a newinstallation, the condensation, membrane and compressor canbe co-ordinated with each other in advance. The payoffperiod, in this case, is approximately six months.

The Importance of Delivering Fit For PurposeSewage Pumping Stations

By: Andy Wilson of Hidrostal LtdThe best waste water pumps in the world will still failand cost you dearly if they are installed into poorsystems.

There are many factors which can cause a sewage pumps toblock and fail.

When considering the whole life cost for probably 80% ofsewage pumping stations, there is some conflict betweenwhat is good for energy saving and what is good forreliability within the pumping station. So what is bestpractise and where is the cross over?

Many of the things that can save energy in a sewagepumping stations also reduce the chances of the pumpsfrom blocking and should be considered as overall bestpractice, namely:

1. Maintaining NRV’s to ensure they do not allowrecirculation back in to the wet well. This reducespumping time, saving energy. The also means pumpsshould draw levels down to a stop position morefrequently, flushing out the wet well and reducing thechances of blockage.

2. Maintaining NRV’s to avoid restriction to forward flowprevents additional line losses and the associatedadditional energy to overcome these, the same applies toold isolation valves which may close on their own throughvibration. Additional restrictions generated from apartially closed NRV or isolation valve will increase backpressure on the pump. This forces the pump more lefthand side of curve, where lower velocity, increasedrecirculation and backflow within the pump will attractblockage.

3. A sealed wet well that does not allow ground water toinfiltrate will pump less and save energy. The pump alsodraws down to stop level more frequently, flushing outthe wet well and reducing the chances of blockage.

4. A rising main that does not leak will save energy bypumping less. A rising main with leaks will develop airpockets which create additional back pressure. Thisforces the pump to operate more left hand side of curve,where lower velocity, increased recirculation and backflowwithin the pump will attract blockage.

5. Maintain a tight tolerance between the impeller andcasing. When tolerance on a wear ring or adjustableliner has been allowed to open up too much, the pumpwill experience gap leakage and recirculating flows. Thischaracteristic will increase both pump energyconsumption and probability of blockage.

Where the paths start to diverge are:

1. Reducing the number of start stops to save energy.However, this also reduces the amount of surging,purging of air and self-cleaning to the pumps and risingmains, increasing the probability of blockage.

2. Variable Speed Drive (VSD) can save energy on processpumps but not on many raw sewage applications,particularly those with a high static head component tothe duty, which is the majority of inlet and networkpumping stations. The energy consumption operating onVSD here is higher. This is due to the poor pumpefficiency on turndown and a lack of significantly lowerfriction head to offset this, unlike in low static head andclosed loop pump systems. The probability to blocksewage pumps through poor application of VSDtechnology is significant and probably one of the reasonswhy most major VSD manufacturers now host a wholesuite of blockage prevention programs within their

software. Whilst VSD has a significant value and place inthe markets, there is a need to be careful and selectivein where and how they are applied on sewage pumpingstations. Otherwise they can cost you a lot more thanany theoretically savings.

3. Increasing the height of a stop level to reduce static headand work load on a pump to save energy. This one is adisaster and results in such a large build-up of floating,suspended and settled solids that pumps can end upblocking every day. The pumping station turns into asolids detention tank. This can also happen when a VSDis used to control flows to an inlet works on modulatinglevel control, replacing natural sump cleaning throughbatch flow pumping.

4. Impeller selections – most closed impeller designs have ahigh efficiency but also a higher probability of blockage.Care needs to be taken applying some of these designsto raw unscreened sewage applications. Any theoreticalpaper gains in efficiency will soon be wiped out by higherreactive operational costs to unblock pumps.

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

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

The cost to unblocking sewage pumps is one of the largestcontributory factors to unscheduled pump maintenancetoday. The pie chart illustrates how this impacts on thewhole life cost when small sewage pumps block once aweek. You can see unscheduled maintenance surpasses anyarguments about energy saving quite significantly.

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

Membranes, absorption and adsorptionMembranes can be used instead of an adsorption viaactivated carbon. The advantages are obvious where a simpleadsorber is replaced by a membrane: The membraneseparates the organic components and they can be returnedto the production process. In the case of an adsorber, thecomponents are adsorbed and disposed of after saturation.Furthermore, the activated carbon must be replaced atregular intervals.

An additional application area is gasoline vapour recovery inpetrol depots. The proportion of petrol vapours in the exhaustair during the handling of petrols lies at approximately 600up to 1500 g/Nm³.

Intake and compression of the exhaust air, absorption of thepetrol vapours in a gas scrubber and separation of theremaining hydrocarbons via membranes. The compressionpressure for the gas scrubber and membrane lies between 3and 6 bar if liquid ring machines are used in the system. Thispressure is maintained until the exhaust air exits themembrane. On the one hand the gas scrubber, which isoperated as an absorbing agent with petrol from the petroldepot, can clean the exhaust air to a satisfactory level. Onthe other hand, the membrane requires this overpressure inorder to achieve the required purities. The membrane is, forthis reason, also supported by a vacuum pump; the pressurelies between 50 and 150 mbar. Outlet concentrations of lessthan 5 g/Nm³ are achieved with these types of systems.

The outlet concentrations, which can be achieved withmembranes, depend on the selectivity of the membraneused. The driving force for the membrane is, as describedabove, the partial pressure difference of the component to beseparated. This continuously decreases within the membraneover the course of the process due to depletion. For thisreason, it is frequently not economical to achieve highpurities with a single-stage membrane system. Highlyselective membranes are now available; their flow is oftenvery low and their use only meaningful if a correspondingpressure ratio can be realised across the membrane. Apractical implementation must always take into account theprocurement costs and operating costs with the specifiedoutlet concentrations so that it has the possibility to becomean established process. For this reason, it is meaningful toalso consider combinations, which allow for a simple andeconomical solution. �

Pump management – the way fo rward?

Pump Management – The Way Forward?

By Gary Downes of Solutions in I.T Ltd

It is largely recognised in the industry that therelationship between service centre and the majority ofcustomers is a reactive one. If the customers havebreakdowns or other repair problems, then you havelots of work to do, and conversely, if your customershave few problems, then your business is quiet. Thepeaks and troughs of your business are thereforeexpected, and you generally hope that you have morepeaks and fewer troughs in order to make money andsurvive, and indeed most of you have done sosuccessfully for many, many years.

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

Pump Management is a method of taking control, anapproach that is prevention rather than a cure. In essence,you take control of your customer’s inventory by logging thetechnical details of each pump, its location, its on-siteapplication, environmental information and of course, aphotograph of the item in-situ. Having logged the details, youneed to schedule maintenance visits with the customer toensure that the pump will continue to run smoothly.

Of course it is unlikely, if not impossible to eliminatebreakdown completely by more efficient monitoring, soanother vital part of pump management is ensuring thatspare parts and replacement units are also available. Thecustomer’s expectation and measurement of yourperformance will be based on your promises to reducedowntime, lost production and disruption in their business.With this preventative approach in place, your promises willbe substantiated by measurable and sustainable service levelagreements based on fact.

You would expect a Pump Management system to deliver:

• A schedule of maintenance work against each pump• Track and report on faults, recurring equipment issues• Provide evidence on spares and replacement units held

against active supported units• The amount of downtime experienced by the customer

against your own response rates

The truth is, in life no one likes surprises, especially whenthey come in the form of unexpected costs of an emergencyrepair or replacement. If you set the customers expectationahead of time this leads to a happier, controlled situation.

The further ahead or more proactive you can become in thisprocess, the more professional you appear.

• What customer relationship wouldn’t be strengthened byfault analysis that highlights the breakpoint where a newproduct would have a greater impact than a failing olderunit?

• Or how you may justify on-going investment using areliable forecast prediction of repair spend, based onrecorded trends?

Pump Management is at its heart a sales tool to ensure yourbusiness continues to operate profitably in all tradingconditions, a way of differentiating the type of work you doand the service you offer with your competition. Intechnology terms, Pump Management is controlled by acentral database that maintains and analyses every pumpincident or service call. When this central database is anintegrated module of job management, service delivery andstock control the true benefits are realised in thecustomer/supplier relationship.

Whichever internal systems you use, whether business isconducted with an elaborate selection of spreadsheets, adisparate selection of software programmes deliveringseparate solutions in each department, a bespoke piece ofsoftware written especially for your application or an off-the-shelf industry application, having access to centralisedinformation is imperative. The moment your data is in oneplace you can allow the creative process to begin. With a listof every pump, its manufacturer and type, parts used and theresponse time you have achieved, if you choose to configurereports they will instantly show how your business is strivingto reduce costs for the client and what measures you aretaking to improve the situation. You may consider automatedalerts in the form of on-screen pop-ups, directed emails ortext messages sent directly to your customer keeping theminformed and up-to-date.

Of course, each of these features is another reason why theclient will stay with you instead of considering thecompetition, sticky customers that continue to play a part inyour success. �

Cent r i fuga l pumps of fe r g rea t po ten t ia l sav ings

Centrifugal pumps offer great potential savings

By: Christoph P. Pauly of KSB

Pump systems are a key technology for numerousapplications in diverse industries. They account for amajor share of all electricity consumed for industrialpurposes. That is why users are now much moreconcerned about their equipment’s power consumptionthan they were only a few years ago.

Depending on the scope of analysis, the potential savings onenergy in current industrial systems range between 30percent and 40 percent. In concrete terms, the GermanEnergy Agency (dena) has calculated that pump systemoperators in Germany could save as much as 14 billion kWhper year. That would translate into annual savings of 1.12billion Euros for the operators themselves and a drop of 7.7million tonnes in CO2 emissions.

There are many reasons why much too much energy is stillbeing wasted in connection with pump operation. Inprocessing facilities and refineries, for example, maximumpriority is attached to productivity and getting back onstream following repairs. Often, this is achieved at theexpense of a hydraulically optimised system. Frequently,when piping systems have been rearranged for production-related reasons, the installed pump sizes are notsubsequently adjusted to match. Oversized and undersizedvalves, inadequate pipe radii and incrusted pipe cross-sections throttle the flow and contribute extensively to thewaste of energy. Also, many large chemical facilities havetheir own power plants and therefore enjoy access to lowercost electricity.

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

If a system has been in service for a number of years, it isnot quite so easy to determine its actual saving potential. Thefirst step is to ascertain the pump’s present operating pointand mode of operation since all other cost-cutting measuresdepend on them. Professional assistance can be quite usefulin this connection.

Some service specialists are able to utilise special dataloggers (Figure 3) to record relevant data over arepresentative period of time. These instruments measure theflow rates, pump suction and discharge pressures andelectrical data such as momentary motor outputs. Pumpbearing housing vibrations can also be measured. This dataprovides information on the wear state or condition of eachpump, hence enabling identification of misalignment, shaftdeflection, unbalance and imposed vibrations from theperiphery. All these factors have major effects on pumpavailability and service life. Service specialists use therecorded data yielded to carry out a detailed analysis. Theymake suggestions on various cost-cutting measures andcalculate the anticipated payback periods. Then, if anoperator decides to implement one of the proposedmeasures, the service specialists will perform a second set ofmeasurements on conclusion of the project in order todemonstrate and validate the measure’s success.

In practice, a detailed analysis of a pump’s operatingbehaviour often reveals that it is not running at its optimal,energy-efficient operating point. A common cause foroperating outside the design conditions is due either tosystem oversizing or to normal temporary variations in flowrate arising from system processes. If power input is notadjusted to demand via some form of system control,valuable energy is wasted. The pump’s power input can bematched to the precise requirements of the system byaltering its speed. In the case of closed-circuit systems,energy savings of up to 60 percent can be achieveddepending on the load profile. The industry offers a varietyof technical options which allow energy consumption to beinfluenced via speed control.

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

exploited with almost any standard frequency inverter.

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

In addition, the available range of off-the-shelf variablespeed systems for use in potentially explosive atmospheresis still rather small. Indeed, the operators’ myriad differentwork standards make it nearly impossible for pumpmanufacturers to economically adapt their “motor-mounted”variable speed systems to the respective set of requirementsand then get them certified. The same applies to the newhigh-efficiency drive motors. While they do generate lessheat and would therefore be ideal for such applications, theirworking principle often makes them dependent on anaccessory frequency inverter (FI).

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

expensive shielded cables would reduce the achievablesavings and extend the payback period. Consequently, thejob of tapping into the savings potentials that speed controlhas to offer for pumps in potentially explosive atmospheresis reserved for the operators’ own instrumentation & controldepartments.

Modern centrifugal pumps (Figure 4) have already achieveda level of efficiency that can hardly be further improved.When they appear to be consuming more energy thannecessary, it is very probably due to the fact that too littleattention has been paid when the pump duty was specified.No pump can operate more economically than itssurrounding system allows. �

Make the most o f the pump manufac tu re r ’seng ineer ing capab i l i t i es

Make the most of the pump manufacturer’sengineering capabilities

Brian Hubbard of Cat Pumps (UK) Limited

In any liquids processing system or packagecontaining one or more pumps there may be severalother components and technologies that willinfluence the pump’s performance, including tanks,valves, protection devices, pipework and filtration. Itis possible for the installer and user to findthemselves working with several disparate suppliersof individual parts which ultimately need to worktogether as a whole.

The pump may not operate correctly if the interaction ofthe components has not been fully understood, leading toloss of performance, lower efficiency and increased noise.Most importantly, this can add cost and delays whenmoving from the design and specification stages to finalinstallation and commissioning. Then, over time,responsibility for maintenance and rectification costs aswell as possible warranty claims will become blurred, asaccusing fingers are pointed at the innocent pump and itsblameless supplier. As more and more end-users shedwhole tiers of their technical expertise and lose experiencethrough retirements and cost saving plans, pumpmanufacturers and suppliers are being called upon toprovide far more input than simply the supply of bare-shaftpumps.

It is a scenario that has increasingly been identified andresulted in certain companies providing engineering designservices and complementary products alongside their coreranges of positive-displacement pumps. By their verynature, differing pump types have particular requirementsof system design and correct choice of associatedcomponents. For example, with the global pump marketbeing dominated by the roto-dynamic pumping principle itis not unusual for designers and specifiers to go down thisroute as their default choice. However, roto-dynamic pumpshave limitations in respect of the pressure they cangenerate and their overall operating efficiency. Whenselecting and installing these products care must be takenin accurately calculating heads and losses to ensure thepump operates at the optimum point on its curve to avoidcavitation and greater inefficiencies.

Conversely, reciprocating positive-displacement (PD) pumpsare far more forgiving of minor pressure variations as theydeliver a known and predictable fixed flow rate at very highenergy and volumetric efficiencies. However, this type ofpump uses a very different technology and as a result, itrequires the specifier and user to change their mindsetwhen designing a pumping system. This is where theengineering consultancy capabilities of the manufacturercan prove invaluable. For instance, in the installation of anyhigh pressure pumping system, safety needs to be giventhe highest priority as the pumping of liquids at highpressure brings its own considerations. A triplex PD pumpwill continue to pump liquid even when the outlet isrestricted or completely closed off, so the flow ‘has to gosomewhere’. For this reason it is recommended that apressure regulator valve is fitted as a primary pressureprotection control device. Also, design of pipe runs,instrumentation and pump positioning must also takeaccount of the type of pump to be installed as theserequirements differ according to the pumping principleemployed.

It is advice such as this which can make all the differenceto the success of an installation and the functionality of thesystem. Having an assembly of matched fluid handlingtechnologies within a single organisation provides end-

users with a skills set that may not otherwise be availablefrom unrelated equipment suppliers. A single source ofsupply is becoming the norm rather than the exception.The skills in providing consultancy in specification, fulldesign, procurement and fabrication in-house, fieldexpertise upon plant commissioning, and after salessupport for the full planned life of systems often resideswith the pump manufacturer. There is also the addedbenefit to the customer of only having to deal with onesupplier, and one invoice to pay.

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

Many pump users are coming to realise that thisknowledge and expertise adds significant value. At onetime the pump manufacturer was somehow expected toprovide free consultancy services in order to win an order.But more customers are now realising the benefits ofpaying for this valuable facility, either as an up-frontdesign service or incorporated into the final purchasedproduct price, as it more than pays for itself inoperational savings over time. �

Ta lk ing tu rb ine pumps

Talking turbine pumps –

By: Malcolm Walker of AxFlow Ltd

Malcolm Walker takes a practical look at turbine pumps, howthey work, their pros, cons and what they offer the processengineer.

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

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

As a consequence we do not use them because we do notunderstand them, which is a shame because they are in factquite straightforward and have many advantages. The basicoperational principle of the turbine pump is simple, workingin a way that many of us believed a pump functioned beforewe were initiated into the mysteries of radial flow centrifugalpumps. Simply put; in the centre of the pump chamber is aturbine containing multiple buckets around its “periphery”.These buckets carry the liquid round the chamber until it hasto leave the pump at the “shut-off” point, making the turbinepump not dissimilar to an enclosed water wheel. The onlyslight complication occurs as the result of the liquidrecirculating within the buckets as the turbine rotates. Thisconstant circular “regeneration” of velocity producesincreasing pressures that far surpass that of a radial flowcentrifugal pump impeller of the same diameter (Fig.1).

Importantly, there is no contact between the turbine’ssurfaces and the pump chamber because they are separatedby a thin film of liquid on their faces and outer edge at theshut-off point. This means that the liquid is not completelytrapped and therefore turbine pumps are deemed to be usingkinetic energy to shift the liquid and not “displacing” a fixedvolume. Of course the key word here is “completely” as athin film of liquid is not very much of an interface andconsequently nearly all of the pump’s characteristics are thesame as those of a positive displacement pump.

CharacteristicsIn practice, turbine pumps behave pretty much like positivedisplacement pumps and do not share much in common with

their Kinetic pump brethren. Most notably they differ frommost centrifugal pumps as:

1. They have straight differential head – flow curves.2. Power increases with pressure not flow.3. They can handle viscous liquids better while being good

with thin liquids.4. Their pump action is relatively low shear.5. They can pump liquids with up to 20% entrained gases.6. With no axial thrust loads they have lower NPSH

requirements as much less damage is caused in suchsituations.

7. However, they are not so good with solids.8. And they would not normally be used to deliver large

volumes of liquid.

There are number of applications where turbine pumps canbe used and these applications stem from either theirhydraulic characteristics or the range of bespokeconstructions and materials.

Low Flow – High HeadThe main use for turbine pumps comes from their low flowhigh head capability (Fig.2) which compares a single stageISO 2858 centrifugal curve with that of a turbine pump. Thecentrifugal pump is fitted with a 5.5 kW motor and theturbine a 2.2kW. It’s pretty clear where the turbine pumpexcels.

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

Difficult LiquidsTaking magnetically driven turbine pumps (Fig.3) as anexample, models available in polypropylene, PVDF, 316 SSand Hastelloy make them chemically resistant. However, it’s

the low shear capabilities and similarity to PD pumps whichdelivers the greatest advantages. For instance, historicallyone of the biggest uses for turbine pumps was in pubs whenthousands of them delivered beer from the cellars to the barwithout thrashing it into undrinkable foam. This wasdecades before the advent of cheaper gas pumps.

Turbine pumps will handle viscous liquids up to 150 cP, andin fact they are better suited to viscous liquids as theybecome more efficient. This makes them good for causticsolutions as fluctuations in the flow are a great deal lessthan a centrifugal pump, particularly if the caustic is subjectto varying temperatures. Lastly, their ability to cope with20% entrained gas makes then very useful in situationsinvolving turbulent flows and they can even be used to mixseparate streams of liquid and gas together.

ApplicationsAlthough less well known than other pump types, turbine

pumps have been in use for decades. The most commonlyencountered are vertical multi-stage pumps used in themunicipal water and off shore sectors pumping water atvery high heads. However, their use is much morewidespread. They can be found cooling all manner ofequipment from x-ray machines to VSD assemblies, CIPduties, transferring small flows over long distances, astanker off-loading pumps, vapour recovery systems, forfilter systems where higher pressures are encountered,spray bar applications, soda re-circulation in fast foodoutlets, shower booster pumps and LPG distribution toname just a few. The list of industries in which turbinepumps can be found includes petrochemical,pharmaceutical, food production and food dispensing,medical, laboratory, military, nuclear generation and generalchemical.

To sum up, turbine pumps provide an extremely simplesolution to a host of low-flow and challenging pumpingapplications. Their use should be more widespread andcould be if engineers had a greater appreciation of thetechnology and were willing to look just outside theircomfort zone more often. �

Improv ing dry - run res is tance o f pump wear par tsth rough opt im ized compos i te mate r ia l s

Improving dry-run resistance of pump wear partsthrough optimized composite materials

By:Eng. Frédéric Perrottet - Greene, Tweed/SwitzerlandNicolas Weibel, PhD - Greene, Tweed/SwitzerlandAlessandro Balvedi, PhD - Greene, Tweed/Germany

IntroductionOver the last 20 years, the centrifugal pump andturbocompressor industries have validated the benefits ofusing internal wear parts, such as bearings, wear rings andlabyrinth-seals, designed with high-performance compositematerials. Particularly centrifugal pumps used in applicationswith risk of intermittent dry-run and/or precarious lubricationhave found in high-performance composites a reliablesolution to mitigate the collateral damages caused to othersensitive parts of the pump (shaft, impellers, mechanical sealetc) during upset conditions.

The performance of a wear material operating in dry-runcondition can be quantified by its wear rate as function of PV(pressure x velocity). Suppliers of wear parts strive todevelop materials with high PV limits that are able towithstand occasional dry-run conditions.This article discusses the influence of the configuration ofthermoplastic composite bearings on their dry-run capability.Tests indicate that by optimizing its configuration (like theorientation of the fibers and the polymer selection), acomposite-made bearing can have its PV limit and dry-runcapability more than doubled, therefore extending theoperating condition envelope and increasing the reliability ofcentrifugal pumps.

Testing EquipmentTo assess the tribological behavior in dry run conditions ofdifferent composite materials used as wear materials incentrifugal pumps, a testing jig has been created (see Figure1). A 18 kW motor is driving a shaft coupled to a torquemeter and an overhang sample holder placed in a housingthat can apply a lateral load of up to 10 kN. The compositewear ring is stationary and slides against a rotating steelshaft whose surface is hardened to 55 HRC. With a shaft ofØ68.5 mm, a rotating speed of 3600 rpm and wear ringlength of 38.1 mm, a side load of 202 N leads to a PV @1 MPa*m/s.

Figure 1 - Testing jig for comparative dry run wear evaluation. Thecomposite wear ring is hold stationary, while a rotating steel shaft ispressed against the ID of the ring

During the test several parameters are continuouslyrecorded: The rotating speed (variable setting), the torque,the side load, the temperature based on a thermocoupleplaced inside the composite wear ring at a radial distance of2 mm from the wear surface. The coefficient of friction isderived from the torque meter and rotating speed. The wearrate is obtained by measuring the weight loss after severaltest runs with different PV levels and testing durations (infigure 2, any data point is given by at least 3 tests).

Test ResultsFigure 2 shows the PV ranges over which the wear rate ofeach material is linear. This linear relationship demonstratesthat the wear mechanism is similar over this PV range. Athigher PV levels, the relationship is not linear anymore as thewear mechanism changes (often due to surface melting)leading to much higher wear rates and the destruction of thebearings.

Figure 2 - Wear rate of different materials as a function of PV. Graphshows the maximum PV levels for each material under dry-runconditions for 6 hours

Material Matrix Fiber Max PVbefore failure

A45 wt% Thermoplastic 145 wt% Thermoplastic 2 10 wt% short carbon fiber 0.3 MPa*m/s

B 32 wt% Thermoplastic 1 68 wt% hoop winding carbon fiber 0.45 MPa*m/s

C75 wt% Thermoplastic 3(Supplier A) 25 wt% long carbon fiber 0.6 MPa*m/s

D75 wt% Thermoplastic 3(Supplier B) 25 wt% long carbon fiber 0.9 MPa*m/s

E 53 wt% Thermoplastic 3 47 wt% braided carbon fiber 1.5 MPa*m/s

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

Mat B is designed for high differential pressures andtemperatures. As long as the PV is kept below 0.45 MPa*m/s,very little wear is observed in this dry run test.

Mat C, D are composites based on a high-performancethermoplastic matrix known for its excellent dry runcapabilities. Nevertheless, Mat C from Supplier A showedmore severe damage at a PV of 0.6MPa*m/s than Mat D (ourown material) with a PV of 0.9MPa*m/s, even though thefibre architecture and constituents were identical. Thisdifference in performance is likely due to differences in themanufacturing process of the materials. This shows that thewear resistance of a composite material depends not only onits architecture but also on its manufacturing process.

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

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

ConclusionsThermoplastic composite materials are a proven solution for wearparts in centrifugal pumps operating in harsh conditions such asintermittent dry-run or abrasive medium.

In this paper it was shown that several factors affect theperformance of a thermoplastic composite material running indry-run condition, with consequent influence over the reliabilityand performance of the pump.

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

Results also demonstrated that two materials with identicalmatrix material and fibre architecture may have significantvariations in performance due to different manufacturing process.

A high-performance composite material alone is not synonymousof improved wear resistance for a given pump wear part. Theright selection of the composite recipe, architectural configurationof its fibres and manufacturing process are crucial in order toachieve the performance expected by pump manufacturers forthese materials. �

FREE Insurance Health Checks for BPMA Members

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

Not only have members access to exclusive insurance productsand competitive premiums through the arrangement, there isnow available a FREE Insurance health check of their currentinsurance arrangements. This is to ensure members’ insurancepolicies meet the requirements of the business. “Asbusinesses grow” says Richard Gibson the BPMA SchemeDirector of Blythin & Brown. “it is very easy for their activitiesto fall out of the scope of their insurance policy. This could bedevastating for a business and could leave to them beinguninsured or underinsured if they have to make a claim.

The BPMA appreciate that some members may have been withtheir current insurance providers for many years and areperhaps not looking to change. So for these members thisservice is still of benefit to you! It will provide you with peaceof mind that the service, premiums, cover and advice that youcurrently enjoy is the best available.

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

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

This is why that we at the British Pump ManufacturersAssociation Ltd are pleased to make available comprehensiveinsurance that is designed to reflect the particular risks of ourindustry. The policy offered by our partner Blythin & BrownInsurance Brokers Ltd has the flexibility to meet most needs.But importantly we have negotiated a minimum standard ofcover that will be included in their package.

The BPMA guarantee to you is:

• Competitive Premiums - We ensure our premiums are alwayscompetitive each year.

• Quality Policy Cover - We will always ensure that your policyis tailored to your requirements at the most competitivepremium.

• Insurers - We will only use quality insurers with a goodfinancial strength.

• Business Continuity - Policies automatically include a lossadjusting service to ensure in the event of a major loss yourclaim is actioned within 24 hours of the incident.

• Expert Knowledge - You have access to a small dedicatedbroking team for BPMA. This consists of individuals whounderstand your industry and can offer the correct adviceand support when needed.

The Insurance ReviewWe provide a three stage approach which audits your businessinsurance exposures, risk management, credit risks andhealthcare. Our comprehensive review consists of thefollowing:

Stage One—Risk Profiling your businessRather than just seeking the cheapest price from other insurerson a “like for like basis” we look to change the underwritersperception of a company’s exposure by risk profiling. Thismeans examining:

• What the organisation is doing—its type of risk operation;How it does it—its processes, controls and staffing

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

• A review of the products manufactured to ensure everythingis correctly insured.

• Environmental risks are examined and any potentialexposures identified.

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

The objective is to get inside your business, to find where therisks lie and then to classify them according to probability. Wecan then look to separate different types of risk with a view toeither insuring them under specialist policies or agreeing toself insure where the risk is low. If a company for examplehas a high quality health and safety programme and lowclaims experience, why should it be pooled with all the poorrisk firms in the sector?

Stage Two—Design and PlacementWe discuss with our panel of specialist insurers to build aninsurance policy that matches your business needs. We canalso guarantee that where applicable:

• Bespoke policy cover will be negotiated.

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

• Generous premium discounts negotiated where companiesare proactive in their risk management and health & safetyarrangements.

Tak ing on the copyca ts

Taking on the copycats

By: Linda Dingley of Grundfos Pumps Ltd

Today pumps are involved in actively delivering manyof the aspects of our daily lives that we all take forgranted. Their roles are hugely variable and involveassisting in the fulfilment of simple everyday tasks onthe one hand – like for example when we want take ashower, do the washing-up or enjoy the benefits of apleasant ambient temperature in our homes and placesof work.

Additionally, they are also involved in less obvious applicationswhen pumps are vital where dealing with more complexapplications such as performing at the heart of every industrialand production process; delivering clean water supplies towhere they are required and transporting wastewater back tosewage plants for processing.

The importance of the role that pumps play is reflected in thefact that they actually account for 10% of the world’s electricalconsumption. So, against this backdrop it is easy to see whythe EU has been trying to enforce regulations surrounding theenergy efficiency of circulator pumps. This is evident throughthe recent introduction of EuP/ErP legislation (01/01/13) thatonly allows the most efficient circulator pumps to be sold ontothe market today, with increasingly stricter legislation that willgovern more pump types and their motors scheduled.

However, a by-product of these recent changes in legislationhas however, exacerbated a problem that you might associatemore closely with designer label type goods that frequentlysuffer from ‘knockoff’ copies being made available to themarket.

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

These products frequently create demand by cloningthemselves as closely as possible to their higher cost, betterknown competitors. By doing this they can quickly establishthemselves in a proven market without having to undertake ahigh value market launch. Whether this ‘passing off’ is ethicalis a debate for another day, but consumers will only buy theseproducts once, if they don’t think they are fit for purpose. Thismeans that any tangible consumer risk is therefore minimal.

This is however not the case when it comes to highlysophisticated heavily engineered products such as pumps, duethe nature of the role they play, their long life expectancy andthe fact that they sit at the very heart of our homes. Yettoday, we are increasingly finding that pumps and domesticcirculator pumps in particular have become a target forincreasing numbers of copycat company’s.

The pump industry in the UK have become aware of thegrowth and prevalence of these illegal imports andmanufacturers such as Grundfos are playing their part alongwith other partners and the industry pressure group BPMA(British Pump Manufacturers’ Association) to raise awarenessand help to protect the industry.

Working in tandem with the NMO (National MeasurementOffice) - the nominated governmental body with overallresponsibility to ensure the verification of goods in theseinstances - there has been an increasing intensity of dialoguebetween the parties to help to make them aware of thegrowing problems with illegal pump imports from countriesincluding China.

Copycat products are a serious issue in many different marketsand the effect they can have in particular on highly designedand bespoke heavily engineered products, could have seriousrepercussions. Not least of all because badly constructedcirculators, not only will be poorly engineered and expensive torun, but we know of instances where consumers are reportingthey are running very hot, which means that these productscould present a serious fire risk.

Additionally these products will have a detrimental effect onthe UK achieving our environmental goals as these products donot meet any energy legislative rating standards. This will alsomean that their associated running costs - over their lifetime -will be perhaps 10 times more expensive than a ‘legal’ version.

We in the industry are doing what we can, but we all need tobe collectively vigilant in order to protect ourselves fromillegally imported pump products – after all we deserve to getwhat we pay for. �

SPLIT SEALS

GAS SEALS

FLEXIBOX (METASTREAM)

Several forms of pusher seals are available using a singlespring or multispring configuration to suit a wide range ofindustries. Available in a wide range of materials forpumps compressors and mixers. Balanced and unbalancedoptions available to meet National and Internationalstandards.

Designed to protect bearings by eliminating lubricant leakage

and excluding contaminants from entering into the bearing. A

wide range of designs are available including standard flanged,

non-flanged, multiport and split plummer block design.

In many installations it is impractical or inconvenient to

dismantle equipment for the replacement of worn seal parts.

Split seals allow for easy installation and maintenance of the

mechanical seal. Split seals are ideally suited for sealing water,

oil, petroleum products etc. In applications where small

leakage of the pumped product can be tolerated.

Used as a backup to the primary seal, standby seals provide

additional protection to contain V.O.C. in compliance with

national and international standards. Several forms are

available including non-contacting and contacting dry run

seals. Usually no liquid barrier or buffer system is required.

Single and dual seal arrangements available for a wide variety

of applications including pumps, steam turbines, fans and

compressors. Gas seals operate on the principle of grooved

faced technology operating with a constant supply of regulated

filtered gas.

All seal types can be assembled into cartridges in addition

there are standard designs, the purpose of which is to make

installation and maintenance simpler.

Type MHSS - reduced mass space coupling with non-sparking

guard bush for safety, reliability and unlimited life. Type TSKS

‘waisted link membrane’ type spacer coupling with overload

drive protection. For use on all types of rotating equipment

drives

Flexible Couplings

Rubber bellows seal are commonly used in aqueous and

general chemical duties. PTFE externally mounted versions are

available for highly corrosive services. Edge welded and

formed metal bellows are available in a variety of corrosion

resistant materials to suit medium and high temperature

applications.

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

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

Flotronic has always been pioneering. The “H” Series and the recently patented Minichem pumps are great examples ofthe company’s appetite for innovation in the face of new challenges.

The Minichem is machined from one solid block of PTFE, a unique concept based on the ‘ONE-NUT’ air-operated doublediaphragm design. A key benefit of the ‘ONE-BLOCK’ design is that it avoids the need for separate manifolds. Thismeans no manifold seals and therefore no potential leak paths. The Minichem is ideal for the chemical, pharmaceuticaland similar industries, pilot plants (in sampling lines, for example) and as an emergency pump for hazardous chemicalrecovery.

Flotronic’s ‘H’ Series pumps are designed and manufactured to the specific license requirements of 3-A SSI, offeringtremendous benefits for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries and any environment or process wheremaintaining product integrity is paramount.

Versatility is key to Flotronic Pumps’ approach to design. The company’s products can be used in almost any applicationincluding pumping aggressive chemicals, transferring foodstuffs and providing constant liquid feeds. They are also ableto transfer thin or viscous liquids including aggressive chemicals, adhesives, cosmetics, drinks, dyes, foodstuffs, paints,pharmaceuticals, solvents, slurry and water.

Compliance-mindful customers will be reassured to know that any pump in the Flotronic range can be made ATEX-compliant for use in atmospheric groups IIA and IIB and also to the more demanding requirements of IIC. Reassuranceis also provided in the company’s ISO 9001 certification, recognition of Flotronic’s commitment to high quality processmanagement.

Hardide advanced surface cobalt- and binder-free coatings give unparalleled protection to the internaland 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, thecoatings offer a unique combination of abrasion, erosion and chemical resistant properties while beingtough, ductile and impact resistant.

These coatings can be applied to internal surfaces and complex geometries, giving a key advantage overconventional line-of-sight coatings and enabling design engineers to consider radical new-part designpossibilities.

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 vanepumps.

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 chemicalresistance properties, the other key attributes for these uses are acid resistance, zero porosity, and anti-galling.

Hardide offers a range of standard coatings and our technical and engineering teams can work inpartnership 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, theinventors of the screw centrifugal pump in 1957. Since then we have been solely dedicated to its continualdevelopment and improvement.

The impeller was originally designed to handle fish. These gentle handling characteristics combined withexceptionally 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. Thismakes 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 ofall 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.

Our team of engineers allows us to operate as both a supplier, designer and installer of fit for purpose pumpingsolutions. We also offer workshop repair, site maintenance, hire and service to support our wide installed baseof versatile products.

The company now remains as one of the few dedicated and specialist waste water pumping businesses left inthe UK.
