New Product Developments

Pump Industry Analyst December 2013

Hyundai Heavy Industries-EMD has developed four new high efficiency pump models – VP-K32, VP-R53, VP-L92 and VP-Q83 – for power plants and one pump model – HP-D80 – for irrigation systems. Fifteen additional high performance industrial pump models, including a high value-added multistage pump for desalination plants, are currently being developed.

www.hyundai-engine.comESSCO Pumps & Controls has completed its final round of commercialisation tests for its soon-to-be-released line of dry-pit submersible pumps for the water and wastewater industry.

www.esscopumps.comFlowserve Pleuger PMM6 is a new

submersible electric motor that uses permanent magnet technology. Based on the reliable Pleuger three-phase, AC, submersible, squirrel-cage induction motor, the new Pleuger PMM6 has a number of advantages over asynchronous designs, including higher efficiency at full and partial loads, lower thermal losses and a robust, large air gap configuration. The result is a permanent magnet, electric submersible motor that reduces energy costs by up to 10% and boosts power output by nearly 50% while extending the overall life of the motor. It is currently available in a 150 mm (6 in) motor size with power output of 5 kW (7 hp) to 45 kW (60 hp). Flowserve intends to

release additional sizes in the near future. Field tested extensively in Germany, Flowserve says that the Pleuger PMM6 motor technology has demonstrated up to a 10% increase in efficiency when compared with current asynchronous motor designs.

In cooperation with Danish water authority Aarhus Water and others, Grundfos is participating in a project at the Åby treatment plant in Aarhus, testing technologies to extract phosphorus from wastewater. Aarhus Water has been working on removing phosphorus from wastewater since 2011. The scarce element has the unfortunate side-effect of forming deposits in pipes and causing blockages. “We are interested in seeing how our solutions can play a role in the project,” said Per Krøyer Kristensen, business development manager at Grundfos. “We already have these technologies, so what we are looking at is a different way of applying them. We will start by testing how it all works and then make a decision as to whether this is something we will continue to pursue.”
