The final awards presentation at the annual PumpIndustry Awards Ceremony is always eagerlyanticipated by those in attendance, to an individual whohas made a significant and consistent contribution thepump industry over the duration of their workingcareer.

This year was no exception, and with 24 years of dedicatedservice to the pump industry through his Directorship of theBPMA, the recipient was indeed a worthy and extremelypopular winner. A spontaneous standing ovation, lasting forseveral long minutes, took place when his name wasannounced at the Gala Awards Dinner on 23rd March, at theCrowne Plaza, Heythrop Park.

Brian Huxley is a qualified Training Officer, whose careerstarted in the early 1960’s as a commercial apprentice withGLYNWED. He went on to hold several training positions,before leaving the company in 1974 to become Group TrainingOfficer for METCOM – a Federation of Mechanical andEngineering Trades. He held that position until 1978 when hewas promoted to Regional Manager.

From his humble beginnings at METCOM he progressed toRegional General Manager, then Assistant Director, thenDirector and eventually to take on the role of ManagingDirector.

In 1993, amongst his other roles within METCOM, Brian wasalso asked to take on a Trade Association which was at thattime operating with a part time General Secretary and a parttime Technical officer. It was from there that our recipientbegan the restructuring of the BPMA.

As a Director of the BPMA, he has been responsible forintroducing and creating many of the services that areavailable to members today, such as the Buyers Guide,Newsletters, BPMA Training and the World Pump Report. In1998 he insisted that the BPMA employed a full time TechnicalDirector, to oversee and further develop that important aspectof the Association’s service offering.

Under his Directorship the BPMA became one of the first TradeAssociations to have a website and to offer membership tosuppliers of the industry, something that has been copied bymany others since. In 2009, in order to safeguard theinterests of both members and staff, he instigated the BPMA’stransition to a limited company.

Over the years, he stabilised the finances and developed ahealthy balance sheet, enabling the role of BPMA Director tobe passed onto his successor, Steve Schofield, in 2013. �

Brian Huxley Wins Prestigious Lifetime AchievementAward

An accomplished diplomat, well known for his calm andmeasured approach, he is recognised throughout the UK andEurope as a true Ambassador for the UK Pump Industry.

As a further mark of the BPMA’s appreciation for thisoutstanding dedication, its Board and Council also presentedBrian with a Plaque commemorating his 24 years of loyal andunbroken service to the Association. This presentation wasmade by BPMA President, and Managing Director of GrundfosPumps, Peter Reynolds, at the recent BPMA Council Meeting.

After 24 years as a Director of the BPMA Brian has decided toretire on 30th June 2017, to spend more time with his lovingwife Ann. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Brian avery long & healthy retirement.

After holding the position for the past 10 years, JohnBower of Flowserve retired from the role of BPMATechnical Committee Chairman in the summer of 2016.

As part of this important industry role John also held positionswithin British Standards Institution as BSI MCE/6 Chairmanand as ISO TC 115 SC 1 Chairman. He also sat on manytechnical committees within Europump as well as updatingBPMA Council on various technical matters throughout thepast decade. John has been a significant figure in the pumpindustry who has worked tirelessly for the benefit of all, andhe will be sorely missed.

The supporting photograph pictures BPMA Director & ChiefExecutive Steve Schofield wishing John a long, happy andhealthy retirement, whilst offering a card and token ofgratitude with other members of the BPMA TechnicalCommittee.

The person replacing John Bower in this important role is JohnHollins, who holds the position of Engineering Manager of SPPPumps. Although he has significantly large shoes to fill, Johnhas been a member of the BPMA Technical Committee for anumber of years already and so is well versed with theworkings of this important group.

He is currently responsible for all SPP Pumps products andtechnical risk. This includes the design, development andtesting of new products as well as engineered to orderprojects with values in excess of £4million. He also hasresponsibility for risk assessing new products for CE markingand reviewing new designs. He is a member of variousindustry technical committees and sits on several standardswriting working groups for both ISO and BSI.

Commenting on the changes, Steve Schofield of the BPMAsaid, “John’s commitment to the role over the past 10 yearshas been nothing short of tremendous, and we areenormously grateful for all he has achieved on behalf of theBPMA and of course the wider pump industry. We wish him awonderful retirement. But at the same time, we welcome JohnHollins to the role, who I know will continue the importantwork of the BPMA Technical Committee, as we navigate theunchartered waters of Brexit”. �

The 2017 BPMA Golf day took place this year on 25thMay, on the Bainbridge Course at Heythrop Park,located 12 miles north of Oxford in the Cotswolds. The7088 yard par 72 course meandering over ridges andthrough valleys studded with ancient woodland, lakes,and streams proved a challenge for our 16 teams.

The day began with the course bathed in glorious sunshine,something players from recent BPMA golf days wereunprepared for, as rain, and on occasions torrential rain hasbecome something of the norm. Sensing this our friends atCroner sponsored the event with free umbrellas for all ourplayers, something that surely had an influence on theweather!

With so many teams entered this year and to speed things upslightly players teed off from both the first and tenth tees at10-minute intervals.

Following an excellent dinner served in the Enstone Suiteoverlooking the landscaped gardens Steve Schofield , BPMADirector & Chief Executive thanked all of the sponsors fortheir continued support of this annual event. Ken Hall,Managing Director of Calpeda UK then proceeded to give outthe individual team scores and to thank all the players formaking this year’s event such a huge success and announcingthe winners for 2017.

To help celebrate three quarters of a century servingthe British pump industry, the BPMA staged a specialAnniversary Dinner and Dance.

Held on the evening of 6th October at the Heythrop ParkResort in Oxfordshire, on the outskirts of the picturesqueCotswolds, the event was attended by some of the leadingcompanies associated with this important industry sector.

Sponsored by Grundfos, Wilo and WEG,and presented as the highlight of the BPMA'syear-long celebratory activities, the eveningstarted with a Champagne Reception in theGrand Hall of the old Manor House,accompanied by live music. This wasfollowed by the sumptuous AnniversaryDinner in the Enstone Suite, along withmore live music, and dancing late into thenight.

BPMA Director and CEO, SteveSchofield, commented, “We were delightedto acknowledge the past endeavours of theAssociation with a wonderful night ofcelebration, and to herald the next 75 yearsof BPMA service to industry. The musicalshowcase by West End 2U was trulyexceptional, as was the wonderful soundcreated by the Swinging Little Big Band.

He added, “The evening was a joy to host and on behalf ofthe BPMA and all those in attendance, I would again thankour three sponsors for their kind and generous support”.

BPMA staff members have been overwhelmed by the reactionto the dinner, which without exception, and against thebackdrop of ‘Brexit uncertainty’, has been extremelycomplementary. Here is just a small sample of the feedbackand comments so far received:-

Technical File, CE Marking, Declaration of Conformity andother certification requirements, along with the provision of adetailed information folder, a follow-up written report is thensubmitted.

One company that has already taken advantage of thisadvisory service is AODD Pump manufacturer, Flotronic PumpsLtd. With its comprehensive range of pumps serving a broadapplication base, from acids to adhesives, paints topetrochemicals and pharmaceuticals to food & drink, thecompany was keen to ensure that its compliance obligationswere being thoroughly met.

The review was initiated by Peter Wheal, Flotronic Pumps’Chief Engineer, who considered the use of the BPMA AdvisoryScheme to have been beneficial in explaining pump industrypractices, and how applicable directives and standards mightdevelop going forward. He said, “Awareness of possibleadditional requirements as pump products encompass morecontrol and hazard prevention capabilities had been a usefuldiscussion point for us.” He continued, “Guidance on whendirectives will change helps to save cost on printing, but theBPMA advice may also avoid the need, and additional cost, forexternal support from Notified Bodies and The CE MarkingAssociation.”

John Bower, who carried out the BPMA Advisory Scheme auditat Flotronic Pumps’ facility in Bolney, West Sussex in February2017 was delighted to state that, “Flotronic had diligentlyfollowed compliance processes, in particular with TechnicalDossiers, Hazard Assessment, Testing, Product Safety andIoMs.”

The BPMA actively promotes a “Buy with confidence fromBPMA members” ethos and this new service aims to fullysupport and enhance that approach.

Do you know whether the documentation supportingthe placement of your products onto the UK andEuropean market is legally compliant?

Not being legally compliant in these matters can lead to largefines for the company. But worse still, if a non-compliantproduct leads to an injury or death, it can result inprosecution or even imprisonment for company executives.

The BPMA has for many years provided generic information toits members on EU Directives which specifically affect thepump industry, either through guidance documents, positionpapers or more general information given out at meetings. Assuch, the BPMA believes it is the only UK organisation thatspecifically addresses the effects of EU legislation on suppliersof liquid pumps.

Building on this important ‘information transfer’ the BPMA hasintroduced a new ‘advisory service’ which will help companiesto achieve and maintain the correct CE Marking proceduresand documentation. Through this new service, the BPMA will:-

• Site visit your premises in the UK

• Carry out an Evaluation of your on-site Technical File, CEMarking, Declaration of Conformity, and other complianceprocedures

• Provide an information folder

• Offer specific advice and information

• Submit a follow-up written report

The follow-up report will consist of a summary, indicatingcompliant and non-compliant findings during the visit. It willalso advise on any appropriate measures and actions to betaken to ensure products are legally placed on the marketwithin the UK and across Europe.

The cost of this service will be £1,000.00 + VAT and expenses(for BPMA Members), and should further visits or specificDirective information be required, these will be pricedseparately.

The BPMA actively promotes a “Buy with confidence fromBPMA members” ethos and this new service aims to fullysupport this approach.

If you are interested in this service please contact SteveSmith at BPMA on 0121 601 6691 or [email protected] �

The way apprenticeships are funded is changing. Theapprenticeship levy is a new tax on businesses that will beintroduced to help support the government's target of 3million apprenticeships by 2020. The levy will be paid at arate of 0.5% by employers with a pay bill of more than £3million per year

Following extensive consultation with employers and trainingproviders, the Government have published on 25 October2016 the final funding policy that will take effect from May2017 when the new Apprenticeship Levy is introduced. Detailsof the new register of apprenticeship training providers havealso been announced. The following adjustments have beenmade to the funding policy since the Governments proposalswere announced in August which will help ensure that thereforms benefit more employers, providers and apprentices.

The key features announced were:

• Higher funding for STEM apprenticeship frameworks andhigher pricing of apprenticeship standards to supportimproved quality, and greater flexibility to train those withprior qualifications;

• Longer period of time for employers to spend funds intheir digital account, now with 24 months before theyexpire, an increase from the original proposal of just 18months;

• A commitment to introducing the ability for employers totransfer digital funds to other employers in their supplychains, sector or to Apprenticeship Training Agencies in2018;

• 90% contribution from government to the cost of trainingfor employers that will not pay the levy;

• 100% contribution from government to the cost of trainingfor small employers that will not pay the levy and whotake on apprentices who are 16 to 18 years old;

• £1,000 each from government to employers and trainingproviders when they take on 16 to 18-year-olds;

• Help for training providers to adapt to the new, simplerfunding model through an additional cash payment equalto 20% of the funding band maximum where they train 16to 18-year-olds on frameworks; and

• A simplified version of the current system of support forpeople from disadvantaged areas to ensure theopportunity to undertake an apprenticeship is open toeveryone, no matter where in England they live, theirbackground or family circumstances. �

Market Surveillance is a key element of a fair andefficient single market. Its role is to ensure thatproducts placed on the community market comply withEU regulations and do not pose any safety orenvironmental threats for users and the public at large.

This should ensure a level playing field and fair competitionwithin the market as well as safeguarding the coherence ofthe European regulatory framework, the consistency of whichdepends on effective enforcement.

However, there continues to be evidence of illegal pumpimports entering the UK from other countries (particularlyAsia) that do not meet the strict demands of the EU EnergyRelated Products Directive (ErP Directive).

As such, the BPMA continues to press the NationalMeasurement Regulatory Office (NMRO), in their role as UKMarket Surveillance Authority, to take all appropriate action toensure that such illegal pumps are removed from the market,and that all future imports are curtailed with immediateeffect.

On 7th December 2016 , BPMA representatives again metwith NMRO Executives at their headquarters in London andagain conveyed its Members’ frustration that to-date nodiscernible progress has been made. This is despite numerousprevious meetings between the two organisations, and severalwritten assurances that market surveillance is regarded as animportant issue.

During this meeting, the NMRO confirmed that several‘suspect’ circulator pumps had now been purchased in orderto be tested, although no information could be given as thesource of these pumps, as this activity was anotherdepartment’s responsibility. The results of the testing wereinitially due to be published early in 2017 but unfortunately itnow looks more likely to be May 2017.

One of the key concerns raised by the BPMA is that CirculatorPumps were the first to be regulated under the ErP Directive,with many other and far more complicated pumps and pumpsets to follow. It is therefore of imperative that the correctprocedures are put in place now, to ensure effectivesurveillance across the full breadth of regulated products. Thefear being that with Brexit on the horizon, the UK couldbecome the dumping ground for cheap, non-compliant andpotentially dangerous pumps.

Following this meeting, a full written appraisal was sent toMark Prisk MP, who in his capacity of the Prime Minister’sTrade & Investment Envoy, Nordic & Baltic Nations, hadpreviously been advised of this matter by both the BPMA andits member company, Grundfos Pumps.

As a result, Mark has in turn communicated the importance ofthis issue directly to The Rt Hon Greg Clark MP, Secretary ofState, Department for Business, Energy and IndustrialStrategy, whose intervention is to be welcomed.

The BPMA will follow up on this communication to theSecretary of State, in the hope that all appropriate parties canput in place the means by which to tackle any breach in theseimportant regulations.

In the meantime, should you come across any pump productthat you believe is in breach of the ErP Directive, pleasecontact the BPMA with the details? �

this is not always straightforward. Involvement of third partiesand the need to meet possible changing future requirementscan all affect the sizing of a pump. Over design on parametersis very commonplace.

If every party involved in specifying a pump adds on even asmall percentage to their sizing estimate, the end result canbe a highly inefficient pump. The extra cost, both in terms ofrunning and maintaining the pump can be very high over thelife of the plant.

One survey of 4,000 installations showed that water pumpstypically operate with a shortfall in efficiency of between 12.5and 20 per cent because they are incorrectly specified. Thesituation is worse for pumps that handle more unusual orcomplex media, such as chemicals or pharmaceuticals.

To help with changes in duty and assist with energy reductionmany pump manufacturers are now promoting the use ofVariable Speed Driven pump systems, frequency drive beingthe most prominent system used.

By using VSD’s you in effect combine electrical andmechanical principles.

The addition of the latest controls or ancillary equipment canoften help boost efficiency and enable pumps to meet changesin demand at a fraction of the cost of building a new systemfrom scratch. In some cases, simply upgrading a pumpingsystem can result in energy savings of up to 50%.

The importance of good design

Maintenance and energy consumption represent by far thetwo most significant costs throughout the life of a pump. Theanswer to minimizing these costs lies in ensuring a well-designed pumping system, where the pump is specified ascorrectly as possible to the demands of the application. Theenergy consumption and efficiency of a pump is closely linkedto the way that a pumping system is designed and operated.

Every pump manufacturer can, or should, supplycharacteristic curves for their equipment illustrating pumpperformance under given conditions. These curvesdemonstrate the inter-relationship between dischargecapacity, pump head, power and operating efficiency.

The BPMA and its members have been involved in the writingof the following Europump guides to assist users with theirselection and operation of pumping equipment:

Europump – A Guide to system efficiency for rotodynamic pumping systems £72.00

Looking at the possible energy savings in the entire pumpingsystem the BPMA in 2010 created the CPSA scheme (CertifiedPump System Auditor). This is a new industry specificprofessional qualification developed by an established andhighly regarded body within the industry.

The objective of the scheme is to help improve the levels ofprofessionalism in the sector by creating a universallyrecognised and respected industry ‘standard' for individualsassessing the performance of a pumping system.

The CPSA Scheme training includes:

• Pump System Requirements & Analysis considerations

• ISO 14414 Pump System Energy Assessment StandardRequirements

• Pump System Optimisation methods

When it comes to specifying pumping equipment, manycompanies, particularly those under increasing pressureto cut costs, could actually be making decisions thatwill cost them more in the long run. In this article,Steve Schofield, Director and Chief Executive of theBritish Pump Manufacturer’s Association (BPMA),explains how lifecycle costing can help to reveal thetrue cost of a pump.

The need to cut costs wherever possible is an increasinglyfamiliar requirement for engineers charged with ensuring thecontinued smooth operation of plant on a limited budget.When it comes to pumping systems, although choosing thelowest cost option may seem like the best short term solutionto achieving cost savings, it will almost always result inadditional costs being incurred that could have been avoidedby spending a little more time and money during thespecification and design stage.

According to statistics from the US Department of Energy’sOffice of Industrial Technologies, pumping systems canaccount for between 25 and 50% of the total energyconsumed by certain industrial processes. Add to this theneed for ongoing service, repairs and maintenance throughouta typical service life of 20 years and pumps quickly begin torepresent a substantial area of expense.

The expectations of some pump users can be unrealistic whenit comes to the cost of pump ownership, in many cases theyfocus too much on initial outlay, opting for the least costalternative, which is not always actually the best solution forthe application.

So what is the answer? The BPMA and many of its membersare keen to emphasise the importance of life cycle costing(LCC) as a vital part of any pump purchasing and ownershipstrategy. Life cycle costing takes into account many factors,all of which impact on the total cost of owning and operatinga pump, which includes much more than just the initial outlay.

A pump’s life cycle cost encompasses the total overall coststhat accumulate throughout the life of a pump, frominstallation, energy consumption, operation, maintenance anddown time, even environmental and through to the finaldecommissioning and disposal of the pump.

By carrying out an analysis of the costs that are likely to beincurred throughout the operational life of the pump, it ispossible to objectively compare all the potential options at theoutset.

Lifecycle costing can be useful not only for selecting newequipment but also for justifying the upgrade of existingsystems. Throughout the lifetime of a pumping system, it isunlikely that the same operating conditions will continue toprevail.

Factors such as the addition of new equipment upstream ofthe pump or changes in production techniques can all causevariations in pump duty away from the pumps ‘Best EfficiencyPoint’ (BEP). This is the point where pump capacity and headpressure combine to provide the maximum efficiencyperformance from the pump. If the pump is incorrectly sizedand is operating too far from the BEP, wear and tear canoccur which can shorten its operational life.

An oversized pump, for example, will not only be inefficient,but will also cost more to maintain because operating too farto the left of its performance curve puts an extra strain onpump bearings and seals. On the other hand, a pump which isundersized for the duty may end up running too quickly,which may potentially ruin the product being pumped and alsoprematurely wear out parts of the pump. Also its efficiencywill be affected, resulting in excessive energy consumption.

Although a pump should be sized to an application, achieving

How to get it right – some top tips from the experts

The following are just some of the key factors that should beconsidered when specifying a pump, which could help ensureit delivers optimum performance and economy throughout itsservice life.

1. What sort of pump do you need?

There are many different types of pump available, each ofwhich is suited to particular applications. The two mostpopular types are Centrifugal pumps and PositiveDisplacement pumps. Centrifugal pumps are generally suitedto fast flowing or low viscosity liquid applications where thepressure is relatively constant. They perform most efficientlyand cost effectively when operating at or near their BestEfficiency Point (BEP). Positive Displacement pumps, on theother hand, are particularly ideal for high viscosityapplications, as they are better able to maintain a constantrate of flow.

It may also be necessary to consider what type of materialthe pump is manufactured from. Hygienic processes in thepharmaceutical or food and beverage industries, for example,are subject to the strict requirements of the Food and DrugAdministration (FDA), which call for equipment to bemanufactured from 316L stainless steel.

Information on selection and which pump is best suited /usedon different applications can also be found within the BPMAbuyers guide available on the BPMA website.

2. Is there sufficient pressure for the pump to workeffectively?

The efficiency and operation of centrifugal pumps in particularcan be affected by the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH)available. Basically, this is the amount of pressure that isrequired to prevent the liquid being pumped from vaporisinginside the pump.

If the liquid vaporises, bubbles can be formed which will be

carried into the pump. When these bubbles encounter zonesof higher pressure in the pump, they will collapse violently,resulting in a phenomenon known as cavitation which canseverely damage the pump.

When designing a pump system, it is essential to ensure thatthe available pressure on the pump inlet is greater than thepressure required within the pump to avoid the occurrence ofcavitation.

3. Is the pump positioned in the correct place?

Where a pump is positioned within a pipeline can also greatlyaffect its performance. As well as determining the amount ofpressure available, the positioning of a pump can also affectthe quality of the product being pumped. Too much or toolittle distance in the pipeline before the pump, for example,can lead to friction losses which can affect the flow rate of thesubstance being pumped, which in turn can affect theefficiency of the pump. The presence of pipe fittings, such aselbow joints, filters or other in-line equipment, can also affectthe flow rate of a substance to the pump.

4. Don’t just purchase on cost alone

When it comes to selecting a pump, cheapest is by no meansbest. Be particularly careful where reductions in the purchaseprice have been achieved by cuts in supplier back-up andexpertise. Ultimately, the most cost-effective installation willbe the one where the supplier can offer good technical back-up, an established track record and a reputation for high-reliability products based on sound research anddevelopment.

5. Always take the pump manufacturers’ advice!

It’s surprising how many customers don’t take advantage ofthe expertise available from the pump manufacturer when itcomes to ways of getting the best performance from theirpumps. After all, nobody knows more about how to get thebest out a pump than the company that built it. �

The WEEE2 Directive (Waste Electrical & ElectronicEquipment) will come into force in the UK in August2018.

Under the existing WEEE Directive, pumps (other than gardenpumps) have NOT been included within scope. However, thisfirst revision of the Directive has now brought into play manyproducts that were previously out of scope, including pumps.

Following a meeting between BPMA, BEIS (Business, Energy &Industrial Strategy) and the Environment Agency in July2016, which was convened to clarify whether ‘pumps’ shouldbe within the scope of WEEE2, it was agreed that the BPMAwould produce and submit its own ‘position paper’. Thiscourse of action was determined primarily because BEIS hadbeen overwhelmed with the amount of items that requiredclarification, but also because BPMA was best placed of draftsuch a document, given its in depth knowledge of the subjectmatter.

As such, and having formed a dedicated Working Group tofully assess the Commission Guidance documents for bothdomestic and non-domestic pumps, the BPMA produced andsubmitted its proposals.

Unfortunately, due to a number of factors, the initial draft ofthe ‘position paper’ was rejected by BEIS & the EnvironmentAgency and so the BPMA were asked to revisit certain aspectsand re-submit a second draft in due course. This was dulydone but our revised position paper was not accepted at afurther meeting in December 2016 and neither the UKGovernment or Environmental Agency would give a blanketexclusion on pumps for WEEE2.

They recognised some of our statements such as fixedinstallations and professional installers may be used on some

types of pumps but said these statement could not be usedacross all pumps.

Many topics were discussed such as;

• pumps with couplings and pumps without couplings

• domestic pumps & industrial pumps

• who places the finished product on the market ?

• bare shaft pumps

• motors and who is responsible for the motor

The conclusion was that the pump industry needed to comeup with a set of principles / scenarios and then have groupsof pumps which will be in WEEE2 and out of WEEE2. BothBEIS and the Environmental Agency said they could not affordto have a pumps/pump sets under dispute withmanufacturers. They needed something that was simple thatcould be used by all.

Accordingly the BPMA Working Group met again and producedamongst other things the Flow Chart below to assist inclarifying compliance issues.

Regrettably at a further meeting in May 2017 the BPMAproposals were again rejected and accordingly furtherguidance from Government is now awaited. �

“Buy With Confidence – and enjoy peace of mind” –a message promoted by BPMA in March 2017

The UK pump industry, through the auspices of theBritish Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA), hasover recent years been working closely with the UKGovernment and the European Commission, along withits various consultants, to implement a range of pumprelated legislative programmes dealing with productsafety, environmental impact and energy reduction.

The BPMA continues to invest in this activity for the benefit ofthe sector, its customers and most importantly, pump users.In support of this work and the massive investmentmanufacturers have made in this area, the BPMA created a‘Code of Conduct’ for its members, where compliance with allrelevant European and/or UK legislation is a majorrequirement. Therefore, by choosing to deal with BPMAmembers, you are assured that the products and servicessupplied are fully compliant across all the given parameters.

Many people may not be aware that it is not just themanufacturer who is responsible for compliance, but thatsuppliers and installers of pumps and pump systems mustalso play a part when placing products onto the UK market.This especially applies if the products supplied are ‘ownbranded’ or ‘packaged’.

In view of the tremendous cost burden placed on the pumpsector through implementing the legislative programmes, theBPMA, on behalf of its members, are keen to ensure thatevery product placed on the market in the UK is fullycompliant. As such, we are already working with the UKMarket Surveillance Authorities to ensure that this is the case.The BPMA, and its members, will take every action required(and available to them), to stop non-compliant productsentering or being placed on the UK market.

The BPMA is proud to promote the “Buy with Confidence”from a BPMA member ethos and indeed its new AdvisoryService, which seeks to assist companies in achievingappropriate compliance with current legislation.

European Directives

INTERNAL MARKET

The BPMA continues to provide an exclusive service tomembers in regard to the monitoring of EuropeanDirectives and Legislation affecting the pump industry.The February 2017 “Directives Update” follows:

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

A revision of the Machinery Directive is ongoing.Theconsultation process in the framework of the evaluation studyis complementary to the European Commission open publicconsultation which was launched in September 2016.

Once the consultation activities have ended, the consultantwill aggregate the results into a first findings report which isexpected to be issued by the end of January 2017. Thestudy’s conclusions will be presented in the final report whichis expected to be published in April 2017.

From information currently received it is unlikely that any ofthe proposed changes will affect the pump industry.

One area which members need to be aware of is theHarmonised standard EN809, discussions are ongoing to makethis fully international through ISO.

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC)Institute for Energy and Transport is also carrying out a studyon behalf of DG GROW to assess the impact of a possibleextension of the scope of the Machinery, Pressure Equipmentand ATEX Directives regarding equipment intended for use inthe offshore oil and gas industry. The Commission is nowgathering stakeholders’ input via an online “Survey onOffshore Oil and Gas Equipment 2015 – Cost of compliancewith EU Product Safety Legislation”. This consultation will rununtil 19 September 2015. The results of the study are to bepublished in early 2016.

The 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. Completemachinery

• Definition – Pump without motor is machinery

• Fasteners for guards (differences between a guard and aprotective device)

• Will be available on the Europump website in June 2011

PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE97/23/EC NEW 2014/68/EU New number effective as of July 2016No further news

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

ATEX (EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES) old 94/9/EC new 2014/34/EU (After 2016) No new news: Reiterate final comment

The first edition of Guidelines on the application of Directive2014/34/EU on equipment and protective systems intendedfor use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) wasissued in April 2016. As a reminder, the ATEX Directivebecame applicable as of 20 April 2016.

On 8 April. A new list of harmonised standards underDirective 2014/34/EU related to equipment and protectivesystems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres(ATEX) was published in the EU Official Journal on 12 August(OJEU 12.08.2016 C 293/52).

A 23 page EC Guidance document on the transition fromthe ATEX Directive 94/9/EC to Directive 2014/34/EU isnow available from S Schofield. This document consists ofa detailed FAQ section covering both horizontal questions (inline with the latest Blue Guide text) and sectorial ones(applicable to ATEX only).

The key changes reflect the alignment with the NewLegislative Framework (NFL) and mainly concern:

• definitions (horizontal additions from the NLF)

• more detailed information about the obligations ofeconomic operators

• more detailed requirements for notified bodies

• updated references (presumption of conformity, CEmarking)

• simplified procedures for market surveillance

• taking the contents and model of Declaration ofConformity (DoC) from the NLF

• taking validity conditions for EU type-examinationcertificate from the NLF

• practical transitional arrangements given for the DoC andthe Directive numbering that needs to be stated (inaccordance with the Blue Guide interpretation)

“The object of the declaration described above is inconformity with the relevant Union harmonizationlegislation: Directive 94/9/EC (until April 19th, 2016)and Directive 2014/34/EU (from April 20th, 2016)”

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

Member States need to transpose this directive into nationallegislation by 19 April 2016.

The alignment of the Directive on equipment and protectivesystems for potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX 94/9/EC)with the New Legislative Framework (Regulation 765/2008)calls for an update of the guidelines on the measuresmanufacturers should take in the event of publication of anew edition of a harmonised standard relevant to theirproducts. These are not legally binding guidelines, but merelyassist manufacturers in adapting to the principles of the NewLegislative Framework

The Europump Atex Guideline is available reflects recentchanges.

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 this

guideline 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 astandard could be 3 party inspection of manufacturedmechanical goods.

IEC standards 80079-36 & 37 have now been published andinclude major changes to the marking and documentation of

non- electrical goods such as pumps. Pump manufacturerscan now work completely to these two new standards or ifthey do not wish to change their documentation yet and stillwork to the EN 13463 series they have until 31st October2019.

Other changes from the old 94/9/EC to the new 2014/ 34/EUhave now been reflected in the Europump revised AtexGuidelines Part 1 & 2 and all members should be aware ofthese changes.

Copies available from S Schofield at the BPMA

LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE Old 2006 /95/ EC new 2014 /35/EU after 2016

Members are required to use the new number as of April2016.

Following the approval of the final version of the Guide to theapplication of the LVD 2014/35/EU by the Working Party, theGuide was published on the European Commission website on21 November. The revised guidelines introduce a number ofclarifications, including the clear exclusion of medium-voltageand high-voltage products from the scope of the LVD

At a recent Europump meeting a discussion took place on ifdomestic pumps should comply to both the MachineryDirective and Low Voltage Directive. Most of these currentlywork to the EN 60335 series of standards.

The conclusion was that the Declaration of conformity forthese products should include both Directives.

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility DIRECTIVE)89/336/EEC Old 2004/108/EC new 2014/30/EU after 2016No Further News

The final draft EMCD Guide was circulated by the EMCWorking Group on the revision of the EMCD Guide on 4 May.The Commission intends to proceed with an internalconsultation on the revised draft which would then be subjectto the approval of the EMC Working Party at their nextmeeting on 10 June 2016.

The new directive makes reference to electromagneticcompatibility ‘apparatus’ instead of ‘product’ which was usedin directive 2004/108/EC. No substantial changes to thetechnical provisions have been identified, but in the new textmarket surveillance procedures are both simplified andclearer.

Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility(EMCD) as aligned with the New Legislative Framework (NLF)was published in the EU Official Journal on 29 March 2014.Members are required to use the new number as of April2016.

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.

A CENELEC Study Report published in May 2013 on“Electromagnetic Interference between ElectricalEquipment/Systems in the frequency range below 150 kHz”confirms that much electrical equipment which shows highemissions in this frequency range can potentially causeelectromagnetic interference with other electrical equipment.Active Infeed Converters (AICs) are an example of suchequipment with high emissions. The Study Report indicatesthat the increasing application of technologies and systemswith EMI potential requires a general solution, and industryagrees that a horizontal discussion 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) No further update

As a reminder, Member States have until 1 July 2016 totranspose Directive 2013/35/EU on the minimum health andsafety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to therisks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields).

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

As a reminder, Member States have until 1 July 2016 toimplement the directive on the minimum health and safetyrequirements regarding the exposure of workers to electro -magnetic fields (Directive 2013/35/EU of 26 June 2013).

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).



21

As a reminder, the new Directive covers all sectors but mainlyconcerns workers exposed to a level of risk. It incorporatesnew 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 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 directive

As 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) – Revision No further update

New harmonised standards in the framework of theimplementation of the Construction Products Regulation (EU)No 305/2011 were published in the EU Official Journal on 13November (OJEU 13.11.2015 C 378/4; C 378/6).

As part of the EU fitness check on the construction sector, thesecond supporting study, which will be launched in December2015, focuses on the cumulative impacts on the constructionsector of EU environmental and health & safety legislationover the 2004-2014 period. As a reminder, the first fitnesscheck study covers EU legislation on the Internal Market andEnergy Efficiency impacting on the construction sector andconstruction-related professional services.

As a reminder, two external studies are currently being carriedout to feed into the Fitness Check on the Construction Sector:one on internal market and energy efficiency legislation, theother on environment, health and safety legislation. A finalvalidation workshop presenting the findings of both studieswill take place on 26 May 2016.

The Fitness Check Staff Working Document, which willencompass both the results of the consultation and theexternal studies, is expected to be issued by the end of 2016.

On 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.

However members of Europump have now createdposition paper to assist the pump industry withexclusion to this directive, copies are available fromSJS.

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

As a reminder, regarding the Council of European Producers ofMaterials for Construction (CEPMC) guide on the ConstructionProducts Regulation No 305/2011 (CPR), a meeting took placeon 9 May in the CEPMC premises in order to comment andfinally validate the draft CEPMC. Although Orgalimeparticipated in the elaboration of certain chapters, the generalfeeling in reading the guide led to an impression of confusion(some chapters are too long, others are not relevant to themanufacturers, some clear mistakes were included).Therefore, Orgalime decided to draw up its own guide ofinterpretation.

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 in theOJEU (all language versions) on 4 April 2011. It entered intoforce 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 draftingof a guideline, and CEPMC (construction products association)will actively contribute to it.

As a reminder the Commission have proposed this new text toremove 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 have choseto work to the CPR whilst the UK, Germany and Italy aresaying pumps are excluded.

DRINKING WATER DIRECTIVE99/83/EC

In its 2017 work plan the European Commission hasannounced a REFIT revision of the Drinking Water Directive(98/83/EC). The purpose is to draft a roadmap/inceptionimpact assessment presenting different options to revise theDWD in the first half of 2017. The result of this evaluationshould be available first quarter 2017. The legislative proposalfor the revision is planned for later in 2017.

Manfred Fuchs (DG Growth) confirmed that the Commissionhas withdrawn mandate M/136 in recognition of the repeatedfailed attempt to revise existing harmonised standardsregarding construction products in contact with waterintended for human consumption. Mr Fuchs has circulated hisproposal for the replacement of M/136 by breaking it up into– currently – three smaller standards: for metallic,cementitious and organic materials.

Europump has now completed its work on a Position paperand also a Guideline to assist members in selling their producton drinking water across all member states. This documentwas circulated to members in June however further copies areavailable from S Schofield

The 4MS – soon to be 5MS with Portugal – published a newdocument on their website in the summer: a compilation ofthe positive lists of substances used for organic materialsacceptance for contact with drinking water. This spreadsheetis not yet a harmonised list, but clearly shows what isauthorised in France, Germany and the Netherlands (the UKdoes not use such positive lists). An update of the positive listof metallic alloys is still awaited.

Developments to date

• In a letter of March 2009 the Commission stated that theEAS had been cancelled.

• The Commission confirmed that the EAS was notproceeding. 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 CPD

The construction products directive does not introduces newpractices, it simply identifies common elements such as test

methods to be used in conjunction with national arrangements

There are however disadvantages:

• It covers only national regulations

• It does not cover all products

• It does not eliminate differences in national schemes andacceptance levels are not laid down.

The 4 MS Initiative

Faced 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 agreedwith the commission and industry

The Goal

The 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 Harper

As regards CE Marking, it is used with products to signify

compliance with notified national regulations – in this case

regulations covering the acceptance of products in contact

with drinking water. The CE Marking can be applied in

those countries (the 4MS and a few others) that have such

regulations. It is not relevant in countries (the majority)

that do not have (formal) regulations. The problem is that

since national regulations vary, the CE Marking relevant to

where the product is placed on the market is likely to be

applicable only to that single country. There will be some

benefit from the use of common test methods (and the

results should accepted in different countries), but The CE

Marking will not be a “universal passport” across all MS.

New Legislative Framework (NLF)

No further update

The updated Blue Guide on the implementation of EU productrules (English version) was published on 4 April 2016. Thetranslation of this document into the other official EUlanguages is expected to be ready in the coming months.

Most comments have been taken into account in the newversion, in particular the concept of placing on the market,repaired products and “spare parts”, transitional arrangementsfor the EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC), importers’obligations, use of harmonised standards to address risks/riskassessment.



23

The Guide is addressed to Member States and stakeholderssuch as trade and consumer associations, standardisationbodies, manufacturers, importers, distributors, conformityassessment bodies and trade unions, who need to be aware ofthe provisions designed to ensure the free movement ofproducts within the EU.

On 29 March, the eight remaining directives in the NLFAlignment Package (including ATEX, LVD, SPVD, EMCD, MID)were published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU 29.03.2014L96).

These directives entered into force on 18 April 2014 and willapply as of 20 April 2016 (the deadline for transposition intonational legislation is 19 April 2016).

As a reminder, the package includes the Following Directives:

• Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC;

• Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC;

• Simple Pressure Vessels Directive 2009/105/EC;

• Measuring Instruments Directive 2004/22/EC;

• Non-automatic Weighing Instruments Directive2009/23/EC;

• Civil Explosives Directive 93/15/EEC;

• Pyrotechnic Articles Directive 2007/23/EC;

• ATEX Directive 94/9/EC on equipment and protectivesystems intended for use in potentially explosiveatmospheres;

• Lifts Directive 95/16/EC.

The adapted directives will be re-numbered and will have tobe transposed into national law within 2 years

Market Surveillance

Whilst there is no further news emanating from Europe in theUK in July The BPMA involved the MP Mark Prisk who isresponsible for the Scandinavian regions.

A further meeting was arranged with the NMRO in December2016. Unfortunately testing of purchased pumps is only juststarting. A second letter was subsequently sent to Greg ClarkMP Mark Prisk and a reply has now been received stating thatthe testing of these pumps and possible outcome could take afurther 12 months. BPMA now discussing its next action.

As a reminder, within the BPMA the issue of non compliantcirculator pumps being sold onto the UK market stillcontinues. This issue has been raised with the NationalMeasurements office in October 2013.

A recent letter circulated to BPMA members by the NMOadvised.

• 37 models of circulator were purchased across the EU andassessed in laboratories in Denmark and Hungary. All ofthe products purchased based on risk modelling andinformation provided by industry including BPMA.

• Compliance rate of 91% with the Ecodesign of CirculatorsRegulation (No 641/2009) Such a high compliance rate isextremely represents what NMO believe to be an industryfully engaged with legislative obligations.

Unfortunately this does not appear to represent what isactually happening across the UK. The BPMA have had

discussions with the two major suppliers in the market whostress that this is seriously affecting their business to theextent that it could start reflecting on UK jobs. BPMA tocontinue monitoring this item

The Council has decided to reopen the Consumer ProductSafety Regulation (CPSR) at the working group level. Asregards the Market Surveillance of Products Regulation(MSPR), the Council has requested the Commission to conducta study on the pros and cons of CPSR Article 7 (marking oforigin), and other related aspects, such as safety, traceability.Little progress on the negotiations is expected before the endof the year, even though the Package has been included in theItalian Presidency’s Programme, as one of the key policypriorities.

The proposed Regulation on consumer product safety (CPSR)(COM(2013)78), further amendments to the Commissionproposal were published in mid-September 2013 (CPSR;MSPR

In 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 clearer rulesfor assessing the safety of products and the avoidance ofadministrative 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 requirements andprocedures 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 practice, there is an obvious overlap incoverage (some products can fall under both directives) andconsequently of procedures, which creates confusion forMember States authorities as well as economic actors. At thisstage, the European Commission faces difficulties in definingthe scope of and responsibilities for this package.

Dual-use items No further news

The European Commission published its proposal for a revisedregulation on dual-use items on 28 September. The proposalaims at addressing new security risks, such as an emergingtrade in cyber-surveillance technology and related risks tosecurity and human rights, while relieving someadministrative burden from the companies concerned. Itincludes a revised annex with a detailed description of thegoods on the so-called EU Control List. The proposal coversten broad categories of goods, technologies and software,including nuclear materials and equipment as well as specialmaterials such as certain chemicals and related equipment.

As a next step in the ordinary legislative process, thisproposal is passed on to the European Parliament and Council.

Companies should also be aware of the relaxed import andexport restrictions previously applied to Iran

The export authorisations apply to dual-use items as listed inAnnex I of Regulation (EC) No 428/2009, non-listed itemswhich may be controlled if their use is intended for biological,chemical or nuclear weapons or ballistic missile weaponsprogrammes and, in exceptional cases, non-listed dual-useitems to be controlled if their use goes against public securityor 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

The European Commission and EU Member States (RoHSExpert Group) are currently evaluating the Öko-Institutrecommendations on 29 renewal requests (Pack 9).Exemptions related to lighting equipment were addressed inSeptember. Most lead-related exemptions, including lead inalloying elements, copper and solders, were discussed on 15& 16 December 2016. The cross-industry platform had theopportunity to present industry concerns on Öko-Institutsuggestions for rewording of exemptions and shorter reviewperiods.

The Commission will now decide whether to renewexemptions or not and, accordingly, prepare the draftdelegated acts in early 2017. In line with the better regulationprinciple, the Commission is likely to launch a 4-week publicconsultation on draft delegated acts. In addition, exemptionsare likely to be renewed for the new equipment in scope(category 11) for a period of 5 years as from July 2019.

As a reminder, exemptions remain valid until the Commissiontakes a decision, at the earliest in spring 2017, even if theyhave already expired.

The European Commission will table a proposal to revise thescope of the RoHS2 Directive. The inter-service consultationon the draft legislative proposal is now finalised and will bepublished in early 2017. Discussions will then start in theEuropean Parliament and the Council. According to the draftproposal, this review tackles a series of problems that cannotbe solved by exemptions and guidance:

1. the ban on secondary market operations (e.g. reselling,second-hand market) for new-in-scope equipment (acompliance date will be specified for newly-in-scope EEEand article 2.2 will be deleted);

2. the impossibility to repair with spare parts new-in-scopeequipment once legally placed on the market before July



25

2019 (an exemption will be specified in Article 4.4 in linewith other product groups);

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.

In view of the definition of ‘electrical and electronicequipment’ or ‘EEE’ in the Recast Directive 2011/65/EU(RoHS2), some pumps may be understood as EEE.

After careful study of the Directive 2011/65/EU on RoHS,EUROPUMP and its members come to the conclusion that thefollowing pumps and pump units may fall in scope ofthis Directive from 2nd of January 2013 on:

• Waste water lifting stations for non-industrial,municipal or private use

• Waste water pumps for non-industrial or private use

• Pumps for garden ponds and similar applications

• Drainage pumps for non-industrial or private use

• Circulators

This means that pumps which were not covered byDirective 2002/95/EC (RoHS1) and thus may notcomply with the substance restrictions prescribed, butwhich are now subject to Directive 2011/65/EU(RoHS2), can still be made available on the marketuntil 22 July 2019.

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

A new Europump Position Paper is now finished andavailable for RoHs2 this is now available from SJS.

On WEEE 2012/19/EU

WEEE2 Directive There will be no link to the RoHs directive

No legal action will be taken until 15-08-2018 and whilstthere is no known market surveillance high penalties for nonecompliance have been announced.

The BPMA position paper was rejected by Defra and theEnvironment Agency and a meeting was called forDecember 2016. From this meeting it was requested thatthe pump industry create a set of principles / scenarios fromwhich we could indicate which pump would be in WEEE2 andout of WEEE2.

BPMA staff and 7 of its members met again in February 2017.The conclusion was again to go back to the principles ofDirective 2012/19/EU and refer to these in a decision tree orflow chart.

As an industry we feel we have supported Defra, BEIS and theEnvironment Agency in trying to come up with a document –statement with regards to Liquid Pumps to ensure that ourindustry fully understands and recognises its responsibilities.

Unfortunately if the decision tree / flow chart is notacceptable then we do not know what else to suggest and

would subsequently need to await guidance from Defra onhow our industry adopts Directive 2012/19/EU.

UK WEEE guidance:https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/producer-responsibility-regulations#waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment-weee

From that link the page of particular relevance is thepage for producers Detailed information on scope is onthe link below (it is actually linked from the aboveproducer page). From this link you can get to theCommission’s FAQs which provide additionalinformation, particularly around the exclusions on themove to open scope.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/393740/LIT_7876.pdf

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs_eee/pdf/faq.pdf

Also In the UK BEAMA have been approached by theEnvironmental Agency with regards to Shower pumps. The EAbelieve shower pumps should be part of the scope of WEEE.To date no contact has been made with the BPMA who willdismiss this claim if approached on the basis of the existingEuropump Position paper. Members should contact the BPMA ifany issues should arise.

As 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 greater



26

number 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 betweenlarge and small equipment).

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

Candidate list

Five EU Member States proposed to include new substances inthe REACH Candidate list: it now contains 169 substances.ECHA launched a public consultation that runs until21 October 2016 (see the list of substances here). The nextCandidate list update is expected early 2017. Reports areexpected in June 2016.

Authorisation process

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published its 7threcommendation to include further substances in theauthorisation list (Annex XIV REACH) in early November: itrecommended 9 new substances. Compared to the draftrecommendation of November 2015, the 2 anhydridesubstances (Hexahydrophthalic anhydride – HHPA, andMethylhexahydrophthalic anhydride – MHHPA) were left out ofthe final list. This is due to a change in their priority after thepublic consultation. However, these 2 substances will bereconsidered in the future. As regards lead compounds, 4substances used in the manufacturing process of batteriesremain on the priority list. Although the industry called forgranting exemptions specifically for the manufacture ofbatteries, no exemption has been recommended.

Restriction process

A newly-published Regulation (2016/217/EU) amends theexisting restriction on the use of cadmium in paints andin painted articles (entry 23).

In addition, ECHA submitted a proposal to restrict fourphthalates (DIBP, DBP, BBP & DEHP) in April 2016.

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 specific requirementswithin 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 the latest.

The Downstream Users of Chemicals Co-ordination group(DUCC) has published a report on experience gained with thedevelopment of Downstream User Chemical Safety (DU CSA)and DU Chemical Safety Report (DU CSR).

On 20 June, ECHA launched a public consultation on its draftrecommendation of ten new priority substances to be includedin the Authorisation List. The deadline for interested parties tosubmit comments is 19 September 2012.

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 bycompanies based in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands,France and Belgium. Precise figures are available on the ECHAwebsite.

The 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.

EU INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION ANDCONTROL DIRECTIVE 96/61/ECReplaced by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) No further news

During the IED Article 13 Forum meeting (19 October), theIPPC Bureau presented its work programme. Seven BREFs arecurrently under discussion, including those on largecombustion plants, waste treatment and waste incineration.Only two documents will be started in 2016: a new BREF oncommon waste gas treatment in the chemical sector and thereview of the ferrous metals processing BREF. Member Statesdiscussed the possibility of merging the ‘horizontal’ BREFs onenergy efficiency (including compressed air systems) andindustrial cooling systems (ICS) into a single “ResourceEfficiency’’ BREF. There was no real consensus. However, thereview of these two BREFs will not start in 2016, as they arenot seen as a priority.

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 expected benefitsof the revision will affect health and environment, with theinclusion 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 and publicationof the directive is scheduled for December 2010. Thetransposition of the directive to the Members States should becompleted by July 2012.

ENERGY

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 standards forindustrial electric motors. Motors will have to meet minimumefficiency standards from 2011. The first phase will beintroduced 16th June and motors must comply to IE2efficiency levels. On January 1st 2015 Motors with a ratedoutput of 7.5 – 375kW must meet either the IE3 efficiency orthe IE2 level if fitted with a VSD. Thus cutting the annualenergy consumption of these engines by around 135 terawatthours.

A guideline has now been developed by Europump forCirculators and Water pumps and is available from S Schofieldupon request.

Circulators641/2009

The first phase came into effect as of January 1st 2013.

After sustained lobbying efforts, the European PumpManufacturers Association EUROPUMP succeeded in

negotiating 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 January2015; the Annex I benchmark was set at 0.20 and themention “putting into service” in article 1 (scope) was deletedas it would have meant that millions of circulators inwholesale stock would go to waste because they had alreadybeen placed on the market but not yet put into service at thetime of implementation of the regulation.

A stakeholder meeting took place on 11 November 2016 inBrussels. The presentation shown during this event, theminutes and the interim report of the review study oncirculators are available here:

http://www.ecocirculatorsreview.eu/documents.htm

The major proposals discussed at this meeting were:

• Future.17 EEI adopted

• Drinking water circulators in scope

• WEEE Directive adopted

To date the pump industry has not commented on these newproposals

Water Pumps

Whilst 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)

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

The standard EN 16480 has now been published by CEN,however this was publication was carried out withoutincorporating comments received on the FDIS circulation. Anew work item has now been raised by CEN so the work toincorporate the comments should start soon.

The Extended Product approach drafts (pr EN 17038 Parts 1&2) have now been circulated for Public comment andcomments have now been received. A new meeting to reviewthe comments should be called soon.

A call for experts for Part 3 for “Booster sets” (Multiple pumpassemblies) and part 4 submersible borehole have beencirculated and work should start soon.

The Previously advised white, grey and black lists ofpumps in and out of scope seem to have disappeared.

From June 2016 a flurry of different documents havebeen circulated in around Europump which culminatedin September by receiving a proposed legal text fromthe Consultants VMAS and Ruben Kubiak the EC policyofficer.

This document brings again into scope on top of theexisting lot 11 products, Booster sets, Vertical Boreholepumps, Sewage Pumps and Swimming Pool pumps. Thealarming part is the fact that within this document areenergy thresholds and benchmarks which have not yetbeen discussed within Europump. Questions have nowbeen raised at National Levels on the documentsvalidity. Unfortunately the Policy Officer Ruben Kubiakhas now sent this for validation to the “College ofCommissioners”. To date this document has not beendiscussed by the College of Commissioners. RubenKubiak has subsequently been replaced within theCommission and work within Europump on this subjectcontinues until advised otherwise.

Electric motors and VSD, ENER Lot 30: Further to theConsultation Forum meeting (29 September 2014), theCommission launched the Impact Assessment (done by VHK &Viegand Maagøe). As regards next steps, the impactAssessment Board is foreseen in March or April 2015, followedby inter-service Consultation (May / June 2015) with a viewto final adoption at the end of the year.

Energy Labelling DirectiveDirective 2010/30/EU

As regards the review of the framework Energy LabellingDirective, discussions have been ongoing in the EuropeanParliament over the last few weeks. As a reminder, theIndustry, Research & Energy (ITRE) Committee is the leadCommittee. Members of the ITRE Committee then tabledaround 500 amendments.

In parallel, the Environment (ENVI) Committee voted on itsopinion report which will feed into the ITRE Committee report.MEPs agreed that basic information about a manufacturer and

its product – such as name and energy efficiency performance– should be shared publicly

The new energy label framework is likely to come into force inmid-2017

They maintained the principle of empty top classes in newlabels and the rescaling mechanism (back to A-G scale), butabolished the differentiation between new and existing labels.In addition, Member States supported the database. However,the amount of information has been considerably reduced(e.g. no test reports) and some provisions have been addedto safeguard confidential information.

The Commission has recently launched a study on the nextEcodesign Working Plan 2015-2017 implementing theEcodesign Directive, with a view to developing a robustclassification of product groups and setting up an indicativelist of priority product groups (indicative number of 20) forEcodesign (and Energy Labelling) legislation. The study iscarried out by the Öko-Institut (project leader), together withBIO by Deloitte (formerly BIO Intelligence Service, frameworkcontract leader) and ERA Technology.

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 label

Directive 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 whena significant 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).

Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU

European Commission DG Energy opened the consultation onDirective 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency (EED). Theobjective of this survey is to consult stakeholders and citizenson the review of this directive, foreseen for the second half of2016. The deadline for providing input is 29 January 2016.The review has a targeted approach and will focus on Articles1, 3, 6, 7, 9-11, 20 and 24, in order to assess them in viewof the 2030 energy efficiency target. The consultation is openuntil 29 January 2016. The BPMA submitted is own set ofcomments on the Consultation.

Article 8, mandated audits has not been reviewed at thisstage a meeting has been requested again with the writers ofArticle 8 to discuss the possibility of modifying the article to

include a statement that potential savings within Motor DrivenSystems should become actual savings. Discussions havetaken place with Pneurop (compressed air) and it nowappears that a joint meeting to the EC will take place todiscuss options. It is hoped that this meeting will take place inthe 1st quarter of 2017.

A review and stronger enforcement of the EED will be part ofthe European Commission’s work programme for 2016

Article 8 of the EED on Energy Audits and EnergyManagement Systems requires Member States to promotehigh-quality energy audits in their territories and ensure thattheir large enterprises are subject to regular energy audits atleast every four years. Implementation of therecommendations resulting from these audits should beencouraged by the Member States.

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 expected tobe finalised and published in the first half of 2013

Under article 8 of the Directive enterprises that are nonSME are “subject to an energy audit carried out in anindependent and cost-effective manner by qualifiedand/or accredited experts or implemented andsupervised by independent authorities under nationallegislation by – three years after entry into force of thisDirective – and at least every four years from the dateof the previous energy audit”

The directive establishes a common framework of measuresfor the promotion of energy efficiency within the EU in orderto achieve the 20% energy efficiency target by 2020 andcontains provisions for further improvements beyond thatdate.

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 their centralgovernment is renovated each year. The European Parliament,the Council and the Commission agreed to submit themselvesto a comparable voluntary undertaking (subject to budgetaryand procurement rules).

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

Member State will set up an energy efficiency obligationscheme ensuring that, energy distributors and/or retail energysales companies, achieve a cumulative end-use energysavings target of 1.5 % of the annual energy sales to finalconsumers (by the end of 2020), with some flexibility on howto achieve this target as long as these do not lead to a

reduction of more than 25 % of the amount of the energysavings 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 and distributionand energy services.

The directive should result in a 17% improvement in energyefficiency by 2020 compared to the 20% target, and will becompleted 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 scheme informationhas been circulated for consultation to all necessarystakeholders. The BPMA responded to this consultation.

The results of the ESOS consultation will be available by thesummer 2014. Also the UK government working with BSIhave written a PAS (Public Available Specification) 51215 forthe competency of a lead energy assessor. The BPMA havealso made relevant comments to this document, both areavailable from S Schofield upon request.

INTERNAL MARKET

OUTDOOR NOISE DIRECTIVE Directive 2000/14/EC (amended by the Directive2005/88/EC).

On 1 April 2015, the European Commission launched a studyto assess the OND scope and noise limit values. TheCommission selected a consortium called ‘Odelia’ (OutdoorEquipment Noise Limit Assessment).

This study will perform 4 tasks:

1. Assessment of the existing limit values of Article 12equipment to assess whether and how such figures shouldbe revised;

2. Assessment of equipment currently in the OND withoutlimit values (Article 13 equipment) to advise whethermandatory limit values should be assigned to anyequipment;

3. Assessment of equipment not currently in the OND scopebut which could feasibly be included in a futureRegulation;

4. Identification of the test methods for the measurement oflimit values in order to allow assessment of compliance ofequipment with the required limit values.

The review process of the Outdoor Noise Directive has beenput on hold. The ODELIA study on the OND scope and limitvalues has been finalised (see final report). As a next step,the European Commission will launch an impact assessmentstudy. It aims to assess possible changes in the OND, such asstricter noise limits and removal of third party certification,noise labelling and data collection. Although this study wassupposed to start in the last quarter of 2016, the EuropeanCommission is currently drafting the technical specifications.Consequently, it is likely to start in spring 2017. TheCommission legislative proposal to review the OND is delayedto the end of 2019.

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

The European Commission’s review proposal was published on30 November 2016, as this is part of the officialCommunication on ‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’ (givingthe overall policy context accompanying the so-called ‘Winter’Package).

The proposal will improve information for project promotersand investors by reinforcing the energy performancecertificates, making available information on operationalenergy consumption of public buildings, and linking thestrength of public support to the level of energy savingsachieved

Brussels as well as EU Member States are under pressure tocut emissions from existing buildings, in order to meet theirrecent Paris Agreement promise. EU Member States have till30 April 2017 to submit national renovation strategies

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive stipulates thatall EU states make new buildings ‘nearly zero-energy’ by2021.

A study on “Energy performance certificates in buildings andtheir impact on transaction prices and rents in selected EUcountries” performed by BIO Intelligence was published by theEuropean Commission on 20 June 2013. The study shows apositive impact of the Energy Performance Certificate underthe Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (Directive2010/31/EU) on sales and rental prices, indicating that better

energy efficiency is rewarded in the market. In one of the firststudies of its kind to include an analysis of residential marketsin Europe, it was found that higher energy ratings result insubstantially higher sales or rental values of buildings onaverage in most of the Member States that were analysed

Environmental footprint initiativeNo Further News

In its Communication on the Circular Economy Package (seearticle on resource efficiency), the Commission stresses thepotential contribution of the Product Environmental Footprintto measure or communicate environmental information toconsumers.

Stakeholders who were willing to propose a product categoryfor the development of Product Environmental FootprintCategory Rules (PEFCRs) or a sector for which to developOrganisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules (OEFSRs)were invited to participate in this call. On the basis of the listof products and sectors proposed for the pilot scheme,applications were received for the construction of electricitytransmission lines, lighting systems, batteries, metal sheets,water treatment, chemistry machinery, cooker hoods, high-voltage circuit breakers, ICT (data storage), ICT (UPS,Uninterrupted Power Supplies), refrigerators, toilets andwashing machines.

Since the last BPMA Technical Meeting Europump has decidedto engage in this project. It is felt that if a product does notoffer energy savings through the ERP directive it may producesavings from an environmental footprint index !!!

At the first Europump PEF meeting which BPMA staff andmembers attended it was noted that the consultant runningthe project would only accept type 3 approvals which wouldinclude 3rd party inspection. This has been debated atEuropump and the goal of any pump related PEF wouldEXCLUDE 3rd Part inspection.

This project is currently proceeding and conclusions for abetter understanding of the process for developing theserules, testing verification and communication vehicles, theCommission established a Guidance for the implementation ofthe EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and a Guidancefor the implementation of the EU Organisation EnvironmentalFootprint.

Water European Innovation Partnership, WaterBlueprint – Water ReuseNo Further News

As water reuse for irrigation or industrial purposes is assumedto have a lower environmental impact and potentially lowercosts than other alternative water supplies, the EuropeanCommission is preparing an impact assessment for a potentialfuture regulation in this field. This new regulation would fillthe gap left in EU water policy which only vaguely encourageswater reuse without setting any standards. In this context,the new initiative would complement existing EU policyinstruments, notably the Water Framework Directive and theUrban Waste Water Treatment Directive. The impactassessment work should be concluded in the spring of 2017,

On 9 March 2015, the European Commission published its 4thimplementation report on the Water Framework Directive(WFD) and the Flood Directive (FD). The CommissionCommunication on the WFD and FD is accompanied by twostaff working documents. A series of concreterecommendations are addressed to all Member States, with aview to improving implementation of EU water policies, whichultimately ties in with meeting the environmental objectivesset out under article 4 of the WFD. Some examples ofrecommended measures are better water pricing, controls onwater abstraction, and tackling pollution from agriculture.Additionally, the reports note that the Member States havenot reaped the benefits of the available EU funding to supportwater objectives (e.g. treatment of waste water or minimisingflood risks).

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 Framework Directiveand especially a search for water pricing/cost-recovery, raisingconsumer/user awareness regarding water uses through foot-printing, voluntary labelling and certification schemes, andencouraging water re-use from wastewater plants andindustrial installations for irrigation and industrial processes,including a regulation establishing common standards.

In the context of the 2012 water blueprint policy framework,DG Environment has launched a public consultation on policyoptions to optimise water reuse in the EU. The Commissionhas broadly followed the policy recommendations submittedby the Deloitte consultants in the spring of 2014. Theconsultants found that there are few incentives for waterreuse in the Member States, mainly because of inadequatepricing and controls on freshwater abstraction. Moreover, theexisting national standards on water reuse are considered toostrict. Therefore, these problems could be addressed bydeveloping non-binding guidelines to encourage water reuseand implement EU standards which can be used to issuepermits for water reuse. The Commission estimates that areuse of 3,222 cubic megameters of water per year in the EUcan be achieved by 2025. This accounts for 1.4% offreshwater withdrawals, which is three times higher than thecurrent levels of reused urban wastewater. The impactassessment which is underway will put emphasis on the reuseof appropriately treated water from sewage works andindustry and cover a wide range of areas where water reusecan be applied: agricultural, urban, industrial, groundwaterrecharge etc. A legislative proposal may be adopted nextyear. �

The report of secretary has been circulated under the reference ISO/TC115/N 454. The secretary M Gaydon, attending the meeting, informsabout the ongoing projects in the SC 3:

• ISO/DIS 13710 “Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries– Reciprocating positive displacement pumps”

• ISO/DIS 21049 “Pumps -- Shaft-sealing systems for centrifugal androtary pumps”

• ISO/DIS 13709 “Centrifugal pumps for petroleum, petrochemical,and natural gas industries”

Those three projects are developed under a joint working group TC115/SC 3-TC 67/SC 6 with ISO/TC 115/SC 3 lead. Those standardsfollow the API standard. It is needed to revise the ISO standard in orderto be similar to the revised version of API standard. Since April 2012,API has stopped the collaboration with ISO and so the projects don’tprogress.

Approach to this issue, during the ISO/TC 115 plenary meeting in 2015,ISO/TC 115 reminded that a product standard shall stay under the leadof TC product and reminded to the secretary of ISO/TC 115/SC 3 that ameeting of ISO/TC 115/SC 3 should be organized in order to get the

opinion of the members on those three projects in order to deal withthem.

Following that, the secretary of ISO/TC 115/SC 3 launched three ballotsby correspondence in January 2016 in order to decide whether themembers wish to confirm, revise or withdraw each of the threestandards. The results of these three consultations have been circulatedunder the references ISO/TC 115 N 267&268&269.

In May 2016, the chairmen and the secretaries of the two committeesISO/TC 67 and ISO/TC 67/SC 6 sent a letter to ISO/TC 115 and ISO/TC115/SC 3 in order to explain the context of the ISO standards and theirwish to not ratify the withdrawal of the three standards.

ISO/TC 115/SC 3 commits to study the proposal concept sent by ISO/TC67 on 16th of May 2016 and to answer to it. ISO/TC 115/SC 3 willinvestigate in order to organize a meeting of ISO/TC 115/SC 3 incooperation with the meetings of Hydraulic Institute.

If ISO/TC 115/SC 3 approves the continuation of the projects, ISO/TC115 reminds to all the members that these three projects are productstandards that have to remain under the leadership of ISO/TC 115/SC 3.RESOLUTION N 007/2016

BREXIT and the Pump Indus t ry

BREXIT and the Pump Industry – Get Involved!

By: Shaun Hampson of the Flowserve ManchesterQuick Response Centre and Chairman of the BPMAMarketing Committee

Our exit from the European Community and theGovernment’s introduction of the Great Repeal Bill –dismantling the tie to EU laws. What does this mean forthe UK Pump Industry?

In this article, Shaun Hampson, Chairman of the BPMAMarketing Committee, encourages pump sector engagementin order to meet both the challenges and the opportunities.

At the momentnobody really knowsfor sure what Brexitmeans for the UK, butit is our time to cometogether to capturethe opportunitieswhilst managing thethreats, throughunified lobbying ofGovernment.

A vast amount of UKlegislation containsreferences to EUTreaties, and theGovernment will beseeking to stabilizeUK law andregulations as fastas possible. Theseregulations, laws anddirectives containmaterial which can directly tip the buoyancy of our UK pumpindustry. Basic practises like CE Marking and Declaration ofConformity, for example, will need to be reviewed forinclusion into UK legislation. Other legal directives which weall take for granted may also be reviewed with respect toImport & Export Compliance, movement of employed staff,transfer of machinery, cash pooling, trade-barrier taxation,along with hundreds more. How many of us have non-UK EUcitizens working in critical roles within our businesses – willthey decide to go home, and why? What about the paperworkneeded to import a simple gasket from France? Let’s not evendiscuss the implications with exotic alloys and PTFE whichhave dual use!

On the flip-side, there are ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunitieswhich could outstrip the threats; with examples being a widerglobal market, boosted domestic manufacturing & production,elevated skills & talent pools, plus the good old British

motivation. Much of these will be the product ofApprenticeship schemes and easy access to technically-driveneducation.

Hedging the threats and capturing the opportunities, however,is heavily dependent upon the eventual deal agreed betweenour Government’s single seated negotiator versus a twenty-seven strong seated opposition. At what point will thepumping industry be discussed – before or after theautomotive, banking and military sectors? Will it ever get anyspecific consideration?

Now is our time to find the common thread amongst the UKpump industry and its front-line supply chain. It is vital thatwe fight to preserve beneficial laws, eradicate otherbureaucratic nonsense, and forge strong apprenticeshipschemes. Right now – at the very early stages – BPMA isworking for the good of our UK Pump Industry throughmember engagement. The aim of the BPMA is to construct anagenda of “go” and “no-go” aspects of forthcoming legislation,while demanding the re-balance of skills, and ultimately

voicing our unifiedposition LOUDLY withappropriateGovernmentalBodies.

Not many pumpcompanies willescape some formof change to theirbusiness modelafter BREXIT hasfinally matured. Ifyou haveunansweredquestions aboutfuture legislation,and would like beincluded within theBPMA escalation

discussions, you areencouraged to engage with

the BPMA in the not-too-distant future.

Recently, the BPMA has been collecting thoughts andprescriptions from its membership through a simplequestionnaire. This is a critical path to ensure that we coverevery angle on this topic without leaving any business – smallor large – marooned and exposed. If you are a member andhave not completed this short assessment, please give it thebenefit of your Team’s vast experience.

Non-members, who understand that this subject will affecttheir Company, and/or distributor network, should contactSteve Schofield – Director of the BPMA [email protected]. By doing this, we can all worktogether to guard against threats and identify opportunitiesfor our pump companies. �


Pumping abras i ve and cor ros i ve med ia can be a rea l cha l l enge

economical in comparison with conventional PD pumpswhere replacement parts can cost up to 75% of thepump’s initial purchase price and take several hours to fit.

Q. How long do hoses last?

A. All hose elements have a serviceable life before fatiguedemands replacement; predominantly dependent on thepump speed, but not influenced by the abrasiveness of thefluid being pumped. Depending on the duty and theeconomics of using a larger and consequently higher flowpump and slowing it down its RPM, operating costs can bemuch reduced in terms of energy efficiency, hose life andpump maintenance costs

High quality hose pump manufacturers produce hoseswithin tight tolerances. They also utilise adjustable shoesto set the perfect compression force for specific processconditions such as suction and delivery pressure andpipework.

Q. Are there any examples of cost savings?

A. Many companies achieve wide-scale savings whenswitching to peristaltic hose pump technology. Thecombined heat and power (CHP) plant of Dong Energy inStudstrup, Denmark, is a case in point when it recentlysought to switch from coal to biomass. This unusualapplication involved pumping highly abrasive fly ash slurryand required an ‘engineered’ solution to help maximisehose life. A test facility was built to determine the viscosityof the ash slurry, as well as measure the pressure drop ofthe pipes at a given water percentage, so that pumps andpipe runs could be dimensioned appropriately.

At Dong Energy, fly ash is mixed with 35% water and fedto the dosing tanks (each with a recirculation line) in thepellet mills through a 650 metre long pipeline. Here,peristaltic ose pumps are deployed to avoid settlement. Intotal, 21 such pumps are now in use at the plant,delivering an optimised solution that has resulted in hugefinancial savings: fly ash is traditionally handled by largedouble-acting hydraulic pumps costing circa £500,000each.

Q. How much downtime can be saved in abrasivepumping/operations?

A. Another example. a peristaltic hose pump was put to thetest in a process-critical abrasive slurry mixing operationat freight carriage component manufacturer, Amsted Rail.The trial showed that in comparison with previouslydeployed AOD pumps, the pump could extend the timebetween scheduled maintenance dramatically. While theAOD pumps need to be maintained every two weeks, theperistaltic hose pumpran continuously for 10 weeks beforemaintenance was needed. Furthermore, whenmaintenance of is required, additional savings areapparent as it takes less than 50% of the time needed toreinstate the AOD pump to operational condition.The same pump model also proved successful at EEWSaarbrücken GmbH, a producer of energy from waste.Here, not only did the peristaltic hose pump run for amuch longer period when pumping abrasive brine (saltslurry), but the time taken and cost of replacement partswas reduced greatly. EEW had been using a progressivecavity pump to feed the centrifuge for approximately 1.5hours every 3-4 hours in a 24/7 operation. However, theabrasive nature of the brine demanded the repair of thePC pump stator or rotor every month, along withoccasional replacement of the linings. Furthermore, notonly would it take a minimum of four hours to perform therepairs (using expensive replacement consumables), butthe pump would also have to be removed from the processline.

Pumping abrasive and corrosive media can be a realchallenge if you’re not using the right kind of pump

By: Rens Zwart of Watson-Marlow Fluid TechnologyGroup (WMFTG)

Q. How is it best to specify a pump for abrasive slurrytransfer?

A. Let the experts at pump manufacturers provide assistance.Abrasive slurries have many different parameters that canimpact on pump selection. These include particle size anddistribution (percentage of small particles in the slurry),particle shape, concentration of solids and density ofsolids. Ultimately, slurry types will behave differentlydepending on particle size and transport speed, so correctpump specification is important.

Q. What are real costs of using peristaltic pumps forabrasive media?

A. While the initial purchase cost can be slightly higher thanother types of positive displacement (PD) pumps, a quickassessment of associated lifecycle costs quickly tips thebalance in favour of peristaltic hose pumps. For instance,there are no expensive seals, ball valves, rotors or statorsto wear and replace, while hose/tube replacement usuallytakes only a few minutes. Furthermore, the low cost hoseor tube can be replaced in-situ without the need forspecial tools or skills, making the process extremely

Figure 3: System Modelling for Higher Cv Min Flow FCV

It seemed unlikely that suction pressure should be a cause forconcern due to the large margin between trip set point andoperating suction pressure; trip level (PAHH) was set at 30barg and suction pressure at pump was only 20 barg.

Dynamic Modelling

Using HYSYS v7.2 for dynamic modelling, the crude pumpingsystem start-up was simulated to scrutinize its transientbehaviour and monitor changes in key operationalparameters. The analysis confirmed a large transient rise insuction pressure (Figure 2) during start-up causing the pumpand system to trip. The analysis pointed to the recycle valvesize being too small to match the pump work during ramp up.The small Cv (Cv = 55) of the recycle valve was the rootcause of the problem.

The simulation was re-run iteratively with larger Cv valvesand eventually, a Cv of 100 (Figure 3) was found to besufficient to avoid trip and provide a minimum 10% marginfrom trip setpoint.

Discussions

The behaviour of a pumping system during its transientphases can be quite complex as it is influenced by theinteraction of hardware, control system design and settingsand defined operating procedures. The interaction of theopen/closing of control and isolation valves and the inertialacceleration of the pump train from idle dictate the movementof crude oil inventory in the pipework and the transientchanges in flow rates and pressures at suction and dischargeof the pump.

Using dynamic modelling to troubleshoot pumpingsystem trip

By: Dr Jean-Noel Bajeet of Fluid & Energy SolutionsConsultancy Ltd

This case study demonstrates how transient dynamicmodelling can provide useful insight into operationalissues and help identify and eliminate the cause ofrepeated start-up trip in a pumping system. Introubleshooting, the main difficulty is often identifyingthe root cause of system failure. Solutions are easier todefine once the problem is well understood. Operationalissues are easier to visualise in a steady state mode,however when they are related to transient operation(such as during a cold start-up or an emergencyshutdown event), system behaviour is harder tounderstand.

Dynamic modelling provides a cost-effective means totroubleshoot and determine solutions for such system issues.The benefits include reduced downtime, re-instated availabilityand improved system reliability.

Background

Recurring trips on a 6.9 MW motor driven multistage barreltype centrifugal pump was the cause of severe outage on aNorth Sea (UK) crude oil processing platform. Plant shutdownlasted sometimes a full day, or more, resulting in significantloss in production. The pump tripped on high suction pressureand the trips were observed during start-up.

Figure 4: Effect of Recycle Valve CV on Pump Start-Up

It is typical for a heavy duty pump to be equipped with aminimum flow recycle line and during start-up, the pumpwould operate in full recycle at a set stable flow, with allpump work being dissipated across the recycle valve (ignoringpipe losses) until the export line back pressure is overcomeand forward flow can be achieved.

If the valve is too small, during ramp up, the systemaccelerates through the red path on Figure 4, producing alarge transient rise in pressure. The valve remains fully openat its largest Cv and minimal pressure drop.

Cv,steady state = Q SG

P

From the Cv equation, √∆P, where ∆P=P2-P1, is inverselyproportional to Cv. The pump work not dissipated at the valveis carried back to the suction increasing its pressure.

If the valve is suitably large, the system follows the blue pathon Figure 4, producing lower transient pressure rise at thepump and larger flows allowing the valve to modulate andimprove its pressure dissipation capacity, as √∆P isproportional to Q. It was observed from simulation that thepump system was then able to maintain its suction pressurewithin the prescribed range.

Figure 5: Valve Pressure drop vs flow

Conclusions

The problem on the crude oil pumping system was solved byinstalling a larger Cv recycle valve and system availability wasrestored. This case not only shows how dynamic modellingcan help troubleshoot pumping systems, but also provides adeeper insight into the role of each of its key components.With ever increasing pressure on plants to improve efficiencyand margins by maximising availability and production output,this technique can prove useful to help solve pumpoperational issues.

What can the service industry learn from Industry 4.0?

By: Steve Ashman of Solutions in IT Ltd

What is Industry 4.0?

Industry four point zero as it is penned or better explained,the 4th industrial revolution is the latest transformation ofworld manufacturing. Experts agree that cyber physicalsystems, a fusion of digital, physical and biological methodswill merge to form the union we would mostly identify fromour fascination with Hollywood Sci-Fi as artificial intelligence.

The history of the industrial revolution as explained byWikipedia. The 1st, circa 1784, mechanisation ofmanufacturing, the 2nd, 1870 the division of labour, massproduction and use of electricity and the 3rd, 1969,communications, computers and IT automation.

We have become aware and almost comfortable with phrasessuch as artificial intelligence, cyber robotics and biologicalevolution, but how many of us truly believe that such thingswill surface and have an impact on our immediate private andbusiness lives. After all, new technology is released all of thetime and we can choose to use or ignore its capability, until ofcourse, avoidance is clearly impactful on progress andprofitability.

Technology is advancing at such a rate that we arebombarded by new innovation all of the time which promisesto make our lives easier and add money to our bottom line,so, what is the immediate and accessible future?

The Internet of Things

Wikipedia – The Internet of things is the internet working withphysical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items –embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, andnetwork connectivity that enable these objects to collect andexchange data.

In the service world, the miniaturisation of electroniccomponents, the open architecture used in computers andcommunication including GPS and broadband and handhelddevice innovation has awakened the imagination of thecorporate world allowing a move from paper based process tocomputer driven data flow, although often with the results ofdata capture being shared across disparate and unconnectedsystems. With the standardisation of software, IP protocolsand databases, there is no reason why all collected andretrievable information cannot be sourced and stored in onelocalised business solution, an integrated and automatedapproach.

In the same way, if the people of the business and its dataare interconnected, then why shouldn’t the assets of theircustomers form an additional part of integration? Sensors andactuators exist that can relay live information to the internetoffering a proactive awareness of equipment in situ.

Industry 4.0 and Connected Industry

So, if we understand Industry 4.0 to mean an interconnectedworld of machinery and production techniques that areconstantly monitoring demand as well as manufacturingefficiency and taking into account environmental and greenaspirations, then the same techniques and methods can beapplied to the service and repair industry.

Meaningful asset registers and predictive sales

Working with a customer to build an accurate list ofequipment on each site and the subsequent collation ofmeaningful data against each operating period and cycle isimperative if you’re client relationship is to be maintained.Knowledge is a differentiator in the service marketplace and away of purposely staying ahead of the competition.

Importantly though, historical knowledge can be used toproactively predict the lifecycles of equipment in the processturning a hand-to-mouth repair business into a servicecontract, preventative maintenance empire with guaranteedwork and revenues.

Example: A live customer asset alongside historical serviceinformation in the EMIR system, information that is availableto all areas of the business including finance, sales andengineering.

Visible profitability on all work

As part of our company visions we aim, in the ideal world, forwork that compliments the skill sets, experience andcapabilities of our workforce and infrastructure. Ourachievements are based on the growth of the business andsubsequent profits attained and the ultimate direction of thebusiness is formed off the back of this.

But, how quickly is your profitability statement available toyou?

Would you rather be making business decisions based onfinancials posted at the end of the year in the final accounts,based on a posted quarter after all purchases and timerecorded is invoiced to the client or on the completion of eachjob in the asset register?

Live information and alerts

Connected industry means that all of your systems report intoone central location, ideally in real-time, an industry-standard,relational database that holds everything from your assetregister, to stock control, through order processing, jobmanagement, right through to invoicing and final accountsproduction. These may not all be one software system, but dohave the ability to cross-talk using standardised formatting.

With everything in one place, with information that is up-to-the-minute and in an accessible format, this centralised datawill really work for you. Expect reports that are collated anddelivered to the right people, at the right time. Board packs

Pressure is a word we are all very familiar with and dueto our increasingly busy lives, is something that we alldo our best to try to avoid – most of the time.However, there is one situation where pressure issomething that we are keen, indeed in many cases,almost desperate to achieve – that is the correct waterpressure.

This is a subject that many people understand to be aproblem but is also one that most are unaware of how to goabout solving or indeed that there are ready solutionsavailable.

This lack of a water pressure affects all of us. There areinstances of this in our homes; our workplaces; as well as in adiverse range of public areas such as hospitals, sportingvenues, hotels as well more indirectly for example in theprocess industry and many industrial applications plus in thewater utility arena, where large and consistent volumes ofwater are a prerequisite.

There are many reasons that lie behind this lack of pressureand these have been exacerbated in recent years by anumber of evolving factors. These include the advent of tallerbuilding structures, which today are increasingly mixed use;more condensed living in our towns and cities; inconsistentsite pressure and reduced mains pressure, all of which arecontributing to our requirement for guaranteed and consistentwater pressure.

The other factor that it would be impossible to ignore is ourageing pipe network infrastructure that requires millions of £sof investment. The water utility companies do have individualtargets that have been set by OFWAT to reduce the amount ofleaks in their networks and OFWAT have the power to fine

them if these targets are not achieved. What this actually ledto is a reduction in pressure, as if you put less water pressurethrough the system, the results will be fewer leaks. In otherwords, there is no quick fix to solving this issue any time soon.

Engineering to the rescue

Pump manufacturers have been working for many years todevelop a range of engineered solutions that will overcomethese problems and today there are a wide range of boostingproducts that are available to the market.

The sophistication of these pump booster sets has alsoincreased and this will mean that people who are outside theindustry will need to take advice from a company whounderstands about water boosting and who knows how to goabout achieving the best pressure boosting solutions,especially when you are talking about non-domesticapplications.

So what sort of options are now available? Well one of thelatest products to arrive on the domestic market is really

knowledge, skill sets and product portfolio to deliver thesolution that is the right one for the specific project.

Modern living has dictated that booster systems will continueto be an integral part of our lives, able to deliver the waterpressure we need, when we need it. When specified correctlywe can rely on these pressure boosting units to deliver areliable, efficient and adaptable solution to meet the demandsplaced upon them to continue to meet both today’s needs andtomorrow’s expectations. �

breaking new ground. These WRAS approved units provide acompact, fully integrated water booster pump that will providethe perfect water pressure to up to 8 water outlets – evenwith multiple taps and showers running at the same time.These compact sets combine the pump, motor, tank, sensor,drive and non-return valve in one package. Add to thisintelligent pump control, which sees them automaticallyadjust their performance to meet both inlet pressure andwater consumption demands.

Ensuring that the required pressure is available for largerapplications is a much more complicated affair. For examplegetting sufficient pressurised water to the top floor of TheShard is a very different proposition to making sure there issufficient water to flush all 2,618 toilets at Wembley stadiumat half time during a match.

Getting set

In general, pressure-boosting systems consist of a number ofnumber of pumps (frequently 1-6), which are installed in abooster system or set, that will increase the pressure in asystem to a certain point independent of flow and inletpressure.

Additionally, pressure-boosting systems are available invarious configurations, each of which offers differentadvantages and characteristics such as comfort level, initialinvestment cost, running costs, flexibility and supplyassurance.

The number of options and possible configurations is complexand each project should be considered individually to ensurethat the solution is bespoke to meet that particular demand.

Building in intelligence

Other factors also need to be taken into consideration such asBIM (Building Information Modelling). This is a valuable toolas it allows building services specialists to manage every stepof a building’s life cycle as it provides real-life simulation of alltasks related to the design, construction, commissioning andoperation. The rationale behind this modelling is to make theentire construction process more effective and efficient acrossfunctional and organisational borders.

With so many factors to consider, it is vital that regardless ofyour demand, you involve a company who have the

When will Industry 4.0 affect me?

In Summary, most of the technology to create a connectedindustry isn’t that new. In the last 30 years Microsoft andApple have created standard protocols on PC’s and Mac’swhich we all now rely. New innovations rarely stand alone in amarketplace where interoperability is clearly the perceivedmodus operandi. Connectivity such as ODBC (open databaseconnectivity), API’s (application programmer interfaces) anddocument formats, such as PDF, XML, DOC and XLS meanthat we have a choice of tools to create the right solution forus.

There is no doubt that the pump industry is up against someformidable competition for talent: mobile supercomputing,artificially-intelligent robots, self-driving cars, neuro-technological brain enhancements and genetic editing. Yetmore worrying is a report by accountancy and businessadvisory firm BDO in partnership with the Institution ofMechanical Engineers which found that there isn’t enoughunderstanding regarding Industry 4.0 by UK manufacturers.According to the report only eight percent of UKmanufacturers have a significant understanding of Industry4.0, despite 59 percent recognising that the fourth industrialrevolution will have a big impact on their sector.

Here’s a taster

Pump systems joined the digital revolution over 30 years ago,with the arrival of the variable speed drive (VSD). Today anintelligent VSD, in addition to its inherent energy andproductivity benefits, features embedded intelligence thatenhances the control and performance of the pump system.

To avoid unplanned downtime, all parts of a drive train – fromthe motors to the VSDs – can be remotely monitored, withregular equipment status reporting, optimised maintenanceplans and immediate warnings if abnormal behaviour isdetected. For instance, Hanover Fair last year saw the launchof the world’s first low cost sensor for tracking theperformance of low voltage (LV) motors. Condition andperformance data can be analysed to reduce downtime by asmuch as 70 percent, extend motor life by up to 30 percentand increase energy efficiency by around 10 percent.

This data will dramatically increaseuptime. It takes preventivemaintenance a step further towardsthat of predictive and even pre-emptive. This is one way to harnessIoT: to collect data by connectingsensors and systems to the cloud.Motors will be able to anticipate whatservice levels they need. Using asmartphone app or dashboard alltechnicians can see real-timeinformation that anticipates a repairbefore a breakdown happens.

Pumps are also being designed withembedded smart sensors that conveyparameters such as vibration,

Opportunities abound for “smart” engineers todesign even smarter pump systems

By: Stuart Melling of ABB

How the fourth industrial revolution and the Internet ofThings (IoT) affect pumps systems and future jobprospects.

Five years ago a colleague’s son, while visiting a UKuniversity, was told by a senior lecturer in engineering: “Youare about to embark on a three year undergraduate coursethat will lead to a job that hasn’t been created yet.”

Sure enough that graduate is now working in the field ofdigitalisation, where information technology (IT) convergeswith operational technology (OT). It is a discipline spawnedfrom the fourth industrial revolution and being built aroundthe Internet of Things which is leading to cyber physicalsystems used in smart factories. The list of new terms anddefinitions is immense.

New era, new professions

It is a field so packed with smart sensors and big data thatyou could be forgiven for thinking the aim is to take awayjobs. Contrary to this threat, however, the era of digitalisationhas hardly created a shortfall of job opportunities. In facteach new era of innovative technology brings new professionsand jobs. For example, in 1974, a global automation playerlaunched the world’s first industrial robot for welding work inthe automotive industry, as this was the only way for Germanmanufacturers to keep pace with the Japanese. In fact, that’swhy hardly any welding work is done manually today, yetmore people are working in the German automobile industrythan ever before.

Can pump systems join the digital evolution?

If we compare pump system technology of even five yearsago with the innovations currently confronting us, it soonbecomes clear that the senior lecturer was not wrong. What isapparent is that for the pump industry to keep pace it needsengineers – and lots of them. But how do we go aboutpersuading young people that working for a pump OEM oreven an end-user is far more exciting than tinkering aroundthe social media companies like Facebook and Google? Afterall, pump systems make a massive impact on the world. Theychange lives and make the world a healthier and safer place.And, given the issues surrounding water scarcity and theincreasing global population, developing the next generationof pump systems will have a far greater impact on society.More than can be truly said for the social media sitedevelopers?

In 1974, ABB launched the world’s first industrial robot forwelding work in the automotive industry, as this was the onlyway for German manufacturers to keep pace with theJapanese.

Smart sensors are now finding theirway into traditional products such asthe low voltage AC motor.

industry’s future educational policy must be designed withthese qualities in mind.

1. Collaborative approach – manufacturers need to joinforces with pump system designers, government andacademia to devise and drive an agenda that inspiresyoung people to enter engineering.

2. Transferable skills – engineers tend to be adaptable. Weshould identify those skills that can be shared and investin re-skilling to make engineers more transferable acrosssectors.

3. Non-traditional skills – work out how we attract those withdigitalisation skills to our sector so that we can increasethe contribution from younger people.

4. STEM – join the many campaigns to encourage youngpeople to study science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM). Also try and remove poorperceptions of the engineering profession among teachers,schools and the media.

5. Role models – identify passionate role models within ourindustry and support them to be ambassadors for thepump industry.

6. Innovative technology – the pump industry already hasamazing innovations, skills and knowledge. We need toidentify and promote it, not only to customers but to schoolsand universities.

7. Embrace diversity – engineering needs to attract morewomen and people from ethnic backgrounds. Doubling thecurrent percentage of women working in the sector will addan extra 96,000 people to the UK’s science and engineeringworkforce. �

temperature and specification data which can be accessedusing wireless communication. Real-time pump vibrationanalysis, for example, can show where a pump is operatingon the head-capacity curve.

Soon every component within a pump system will have itsown internet protocol address. This will enable real-timecommunication with the motor, pump, control valve, piping,instruments and control system. All of the system componentswill be able to make adaptive changes to optimise totalperformance.

This is what we call Big Data: information flow from the pumpsystem to the cloud where data is analysed and fed back toenable pump users to achieve predictions about pump systemand process performance. Not only will this show when acomponent or system is about to fail, but also highlight anyprocess bottlenecks and even proactively avoid themhappening.

Clearly we have exciting times ahead. The technology existsbut how do we get it and implement it at the scale we needand at a price that people can afford? Today is about layingthe foundations for the innovations of tomorrow. But much ofthis will not be achieved if both pump makers and users don’tchange quickly. Traditional approaches need to be challengedand new innovations embraced. In an industry where growthis constrained by the cost of production and environmentalawareness, the industry needs to broaden itshorizons if it is to better adapt its products andservices to the new demands coming from the enduser.

Attracting talent

Whether you are a pump OEM, an end user ortechnology company, like ABB, you need toencourage the next generation of engineers to jointhe journey. The potential for developing newpump related products, systems and services tomeet the needs of the fourth industrial revolutionis with us now. We need to adapt and lead thetechnological charge.

The world of work may fundamentally change dueto digitalisation – but we will never be short ofwork. The new working world will still require moreknowledge and above all, more creativity, greaterflexibility and conviction for change. The pump

(thousands) little voids. The impeller material acts as thebackstop to liquid entering these cavities at supersonic speedsand the result is impact erosion known as cavitation damage.Cavitation can destroy even hard material pumps in veryshort time scales. Consequently, it is vital to protect againstcavitation by making sure that the user ensures that there isadequate NPSH available – NPSH(a) – from within thepumping system.

The specifier needs to distinguish between NPSH required forthe pump and the NPSH available from his/her application.NPSH required by the pump is commonly known as NPSH(r)and this information is provided by the manufacturer. NPSHavailable is termed NPSH(a) and needs to be calculated fromthe system characteristics...

Basically, there should be more NPSH(a) than NPSH(r)plus a reasonable “safety” margin in which to accountfor entrained liquid impurities which may distort its

vapour pressure.

Pressure Head: Before going into the assessment of NPSH,itself, lets just clarify the term Pressure “Head” and why weuse it rather than conventional Pressure like Bar, PSI, Pascals,or kg/m2 etc... The reason behind this lies with conventionalpressure being influenced by liquid density.

Centrifugal pumps handle all types of liquids – with differentDensities – and therefore generating differing pressures.

Rather than a manufacturer creating thousands of PumpSelection Curves for an infinite variety of density options, it isstandard practise to employ “Head” – A mere column of liquidexpressed in metres which doesn’t change. Head is the heightof liquid which will be generated above the pump centre whenan impeller of given diameter is spinning at a given speed.The (conventional) pressure measurement, taken at the pumpdischarge, will be different with different liquid densities.

NPSH(a) Calculation: The clue to understanding NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head),lies is the first term “Net” – the total positive suction headonce all plusses and minuses have been “netted off”.

There are FOUR suction pressure variables needed tocalculate NPSH(a)...

Two are always negative! They simply need to be addedtogether and are easy to remember:

1. Static Height of liquid above – or below (if suction lift) –the pump. This can be positive or negative.

2. Vapour pressure of the liquid. This must be REMOVEDand is therefore always negative.

3. Pipework & valve losses upstream of the pump,reaching to the liquid source, and is always negative.

4. Atmospheric pressure head acting on the liquid surface.While this pressure measurement is in its Absolute form, itis always positive regardless of any possible suction vesselvacuum applications.

While we are using Head, we need to get all units consistent.This means converting the Surrounding Pressure (p) andVapour Pressure (Vp) from millibar to metres.

p=rgh Where:

p = Pressure (Pa)

r = Density (kg/m3)

g = Gravity (9.81 m/s2)

h = Liquid column heightabove its datum (m)

NPSH pumping questions answered...

By: Shaun Hampson of Flowserve Manchester QuickResponse Centre.

The BPMA Technical Committee are often posed withsome very interesting – and often fundamentalquestions from industrial pump users. One questionwhich is very common is regarding NPSH and we haveselected an answer from Shaun Hampson, who isManaging Director and General Manager of theFlowserve Manchester Quick Response Centre.

Question: What is the meaning of NPSH; how important is itto a centrifugal pump, what is the best way to calculate it,and which pump should I use if I have very Low NPSH?

Answer:

NPSH is a very commonly used acronym within the PumpIndustry and it stands for Net Positive Suction Head.

NPSH is a vital element of centrifugal pump selection becauseit represents the adequacy of liquid feed relative to the needof a Pump. Starving the suction of a pump with poorlyavailable NPSH can rapidly cause cavitation damage to occur.NPSH is relatively simple to calculate, but can have itschallenges where liquids approach their boiling point (VapourPressure), there are long torturous suction pipe-lines, or thewrong pump is being used.

There are four parts to consider when answering thisseemingly simple question: (1) Cavitation, which is a veryaggressive form of damage and enforces the need tounderstand NPSH, (2) Pressure Head in metres, versusconventional Pressure like bar, psi, Pascals, etc, (3)Calculating NPSH available, and (4) Special focus whenpumping LPG and Liquids near to their Boiling Point.

Cavitation: In broad terms,Cavitation starts with thepartial evaporation of theliquid because it is beingsucked hard, in a non-linear,and turbulent environment.As its vapourpressure iscompromised,it starts toevaporate intoentrainedpockets ofvapour.

These tiny pockets of vapour enter the pump impeller, in theirthousands, but are condensed as the surrounding fluid isinternally pressurised toward the discharge.

Bubbles collapsing in the vicinity of the impeller ignitedamage, as surrounding liquid rapidly fills each of these

Example:

Pumping water at

50oC with flooded

suction (positive) of

height of 5m.

(1) Static Height:

This is 5m

(2) Vapour pressure:

At 50oC, the

vapour pressure of

water is 0.12335

bar. In the above

formulae, this gives

(3) Pipe-work losses: While this is another topic in itself, we

shall use an assumption of 0.5m.

Those readers wishing to know more about this topic can

contact the author for a reference guide book.

(4) Surrounding Pressure: We will take atmospheric

pressure, as is usual with an open vessel. Importantly, this

could be much lower, especially in the chemical markets,

while the vessel is under vacuum.

Assuming 1.014 bara – given from the barometer.

NPSH(a) = 1-2-3+4 = 5m - 1.27m – 0.5m + 10.46m =

13.69m available.

If we deduct 0.5m for safety margin, we are now looking for a

pump with NPSH(r) of less than 13.19m at the duty point on

the pump curve. Out of interest, most CONVENTIONAL end-

suction liquid centrifugal pumps are in the region of 1-5m and

therefore suitable for this application.

NPSH with Liquid Petroleum Gasses (LPG):

Pumping LPG follows the same characteristics as any liquid

being transferred at its own boiling point. Like boiling water at

100oC, it’s Vapour Pressure will equal the Surrounding

Pressure and these two components ultimately cancel-out

each other. Finally, this leaves a calculation with only

components (1) Static Height, and (3) Pipe-work losses.

Example:

Pumping Propane at 20oC with flooded suction (positive) of

height of 2m.

(1) (Minimum) Static Height: 1.5m

(2) Vapour pressure: At 20oC, the vapour pressure of

Propane is 8.39bar and the density is 500kg/m3:

h = 0.12335 x 105

= 1.27m 9.81 x 988

If p = ρgh then h = p

gives h = 1.014 x 105

= 10.46m ρg 9.81 x 988

(3) Pipe-work losses: Let’s assume 0.5m

(4) Surrounding Pressure: LPG is stored in a closed vessel

at its vapour pressure – in which to maintain its liquid

state. As above, the

Vapour pressure of Propane at 20oC is 8.39bar and the

density is 500kg/m3:

NPSH(a) = 1-2-3+4 = 1.5m – 171.05m – 0.5m +

171.05m = 1.0m available.

In other words, when pumping LPG or any other liquid

held at its boiling point, then NPSH(a) can be simplified

to be Static Head minus pipework/valve/fitting losses.

Now, if we again deduct 0.5m for safety margin(!), we are left

with the need to find a pump which only requires an

extremely low level of 0.5m NPSH(r) at the duty point. Such

“low NPSH” pumps are different – by design – from

Conventional End-Suction centrifugal pumps. BUT LOW

NPSH PUMPS DO EXIST, which removes the need to

excavate the pump installation in which to create more Static

Head! Low NPSH Pumps are often built on the Side-Channel

principle, but with some centrifugal pump staging included.

This optimised “Combination Pump” gives the benefit

of (a) Low NPSH, (b) High Flow Capacity, and (c) Gas

handling, which is important for passing any vapour

through the pump - BEFORE the mechanical seal is

damaged from poor lubrication. Pump design is

another topic, which is too deep for this forum, but

more information is available from the author.

For the sake of completeness, it is worth mentioning that

there is another way to reduce the NPSH required for a

conventional centrifugal pump. This is by adding an Inducer to

the impeller. This volumetric feed “screw” type device

“induces” flow into the eye of the impeller. Arguably, inducers

are designed to operate in a very precise duty (flow vs

differential head) envelope and become “unstable” when the

user varies the process due to temperature, demand, speed,

or simple valve opening & closing.

Conclusions:

• NPSH is a vital consideration in, both, choice of pump and

system design. There are only four basic data components

needed to calculate available NPSH(a) which make it a

relatively easy topic to master.

• Cavitation and mechanical seal damage occur when the

Pump being used requires greater NPSH than is available

from the system.

• LPG and Boiling liquids can be treated in the same way,

whereby available NPSH can be simplified to Static Head

less the pipe-line losses. Both result in difficult Low NPSH

conditions.

• Very low NPSH is usually accommodated by Combination

Side-Channel type Pumps. Alternatively, the user can give

more NPSH by either raising the vessel, excavating the

pump, or living with cavitation – all three alternatives are

often expensive or unpractical. �

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.

All products conform to theapplicable European Directives appropriate to the product.ABB offers the world’s widest selection of motors, generators and variable speed drives. Drives range from 0.12 kW to 80 MW.The ABB drive for water and wastewater, rated from 0.37 kW to 500 kW, features built-in control functions including soft pipefilling, pump auto change, redundancy, pump protection, flow calculation, multi-pump control, pump priority, sleep-boost, levelcontrol and pump cleaning. The ABB industrial drives, rated from 0.55 kW to 5,600 kW eliminate the need for an external PLC,save energy and reduce downtime.

Motors range from 0.06 kW to over 60 MW. They are available for low and medium voltage duty, in aluminium and cast ironframes, as well as with enclosures for hazardous areas. NEMA motors include general purpose (1/8 to 400 hp), severe duty (1 to400 hp) and explosion proof (1/4 to 300 hp). A range of motors, rated from 0.37 kW to 1000 kW, are specifically designed tomeet the UK’s Water Industry Mechanical and Electrical Specification (WIMES).

ABB is also leading the way with the highly energy-efficient synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) and drive package. Thepackage includes a matched motor and drive with dedicated software and offers smooth, efficient process control and optimal useof energy. Today, the SynRM package offers a more efficient, quieter and easy to maintain package than traditional motors anddrives; and at the same price point. There are very few reasons why you would avoid the SynRM as the solution to your nextpump system installation.

ABB has launched the world’s first low cost smart sensor for condition monitoring of low voltage AC motors. ABB Ability™ SmartSensor picks up data on vibration, temperature and other parameters and uses it to reduce motor downtime by up to 70 percent,extend lifetime by as much as 30 percent and lower energy use by up to 10 percent. The ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor is attachedto the frame of low voltage induction motors. No wiring is needed. Using on-board algorithms, based on ABB’s decades of motorexpertise, the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor relays information about the motor’s health, via a smartphone and over the internet,to a secure server. This solution can make huge numbers of motors into smart devices, enabling them to benefit from intelligentservices.

ABB can meet requirements of international standards from around the world. All the company’s factories are certified to ISO14001 for environmental management.

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, ‘E’ Series and the recently patented Minichem pumps are greatexamples of the company’s appetite for innovation in the face of new challengesThe 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’ and ‘E’ Series pumps are designed and manufactured to the specific license requirements of 3-A SSI andEhedg respectively, offering tremendous benefits for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries and anyenvironment or process where maintaining product integrity is paramount.Versatility is key to Flotronic Pumps’ approach to design. The company’s products can be used in almost any 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.
