Product showcase WWT PUMP AND VALVE SUPPLEMENT 2019 37 What's new in the world of pumps and valves? WWT takes a look at a selection of products that are generating a buzz in the market Selwood unveils SelWatch technology for real-time data and remote monitoring Selwood, the UK's largest pumping solutions provider, has unveiled its new SelWatch technology – a bespoke data panel that adds real-time performance data and remote monitoring to its range of pumps. SelWatch was developed to Selwood's speci• cations in close consultation with the product development team at the company's Hampshire pump manufacturing centre. The technology responds to increased demand for digitisation in the water handling industry, driving e• ciency and environmental sustain- ability through real-time telemetry. SelWatch provides users with real-time information on discharge and suction pressure, engine speed, fuel conditions, operating temperature and oil levels, as well as "wet end" data on pump - ows and vacuum. The panel works with an online platform, providing remote telemetry to users wherever they are. The data can be used to ensure pumps are running as e• ciently as possible, minimising fuel consumption and emissions, and enabling maintenance to be scheduled as required to limit downtime. Chris Garrett, CEO of Selwood, said: "From our knowledge of the market and from our regular conversations with customers in the • eld, we know that access to accurate, easily-accessible, real time data is oˆ en a factor in the decision to rent or buy a pump. "That feedback was crucial in developing SelWatch to our precise requirements, giving our customers increased reassurance and choice. The launch of SelWatch underlines Selwood's commitment to excep- tional standards in everything we do – from the excellence of our R&D and manufacturing teams to the outstanding service provided by our specialist pumping solutions teams." SelWatch technology will initially be oŽ ered as an option on the newest addition to Selwood's S pump solids handling range, the S160Eco, before being introduced across the range. In line with Selwood's commitment to minimising the impact of all its products, the unit was developed to reduce emissions without sacri• cing performance. Using Selprime technology for fast, environ- mentally-friendly priming and housed within Selwood's market-leading Su- per Silent canopies, the six-inch pump is driven by an Isuzu diesel engine and is the quietest on the market. The S160Eco is suitable for a full range of sewage, sewer bypass, overpumping, water and wastewa- ter applications and is designed to handle large solids and • brous solids without blocking.

SIDE Industrie launches the DIP BOOSTER SIDE Industrie has launched its newest innovation the DIP BOOSTER, to accelerate - ow in a gravity line. The DIP BOOSTER by Side Industrie is derived from a high range of DIP wastewater pumps and like its precursor the DIP Systeme, it is made of high quality stainless steel. It is composed of a shared hydraulic body that • ts the pipe size, allowing the gravity - ow to go through it. It includes a by-pass valve, a level sensor upstream and 2 variable speed hydraulic drives connected in parallel using VFD's. The innovation is particularly suitable for pipes with insu• cient slope or pipes undergoing periodic backups or undersized pipes. The DIP BOOSTER will increase the - ow for a gravity-fed line of ND 6'' to ND 40'' and thus provides savings on replacing large segments of pipe. The DIP Booster is also suitable where increased scouring is needed. Gravity - ow is at the heart of the system. As long as - ow passes through the DIP BOOSTER and does not • ll the pipe, the motors remain oŽ , with the ALC control panel leaving them on stand-by and continuously checking the level via the level sensor. If the gravity - ow • lls the pipe and the startup level of the • rst motor unit is reached, the DIP Booster will start up one pump slowly and then accelerate the - ow, activating the internal check valve. The second motor unit starts up if the upstream pressure increases. The motors stop when the upstream - ow decreases back down to the gravity - ow pressure setting. The applications of this innovation are numerous and particularly applied in cases where manifolds and pipes have insu• cient slope, or when pipes are undergoing periodic backups, or inadequately sized for current - ow loads, or even where increased scouring is needed. The DIP BOOSTER opens new avenues for solving lots of known problems at a lower cost and in an easy way. Instead of replacing the whole line, installing a DIP Booster upstream of the pipe section having problems will accelerate the - ow. The DIP BOOSTER is suitable for use in numerous con• gurations from storm water treatment to combined sewer reinforcement or - ood control and prevention.
