The presentation will concentrate on the importance of the 'rag tests' - deter- mining what needed to be tested and the methodology behind it. Maik Ulmschneider KSB Ag and Ciaran Heaney, Thames Water FLOOD PROTECTION 10.30-11.00 Bedford pumping station refurbishment project. An explanation of how the Environment Agency selects pumps and controls the PS to provide flood protection to properties - reducing energy consumption while providing resilience. David Booth, Environment Agency, and Dave Lees, Bedford Pumps COMFORT BREAK 11.00-11.20 INTELLIGENT PUMPING 0 11.20-11.50 Why and where do you put the intelligence in a modern pumping station? Why and where do you put the intelligence in a modern pumping station? Operators increasingly require low-cost solutions for optimising the package operation. This paper discusses the benefits of PLCs versus third-party controllers versus inbuilt variable speed drive (VSD) features, with case studies and examples for small-to-medium-sized stations. Mark Scally and Sanna-Kaisa Ehanto, ABB 11.50-12.15 Intelligent pumping to reduce overall system costs and increase reliability A joint approach with London Heathrow Airport (LHA). Working with the water team at Heathrow to maximise pumping system efficiency, energy and reliability, a PS in Terminal 4's cargo holding area was identified. Xylem supplied pumps and pump controllers to dramtically reduce the cost of ownership of this station and greatly increase the overall reliability. Tony Price, Xylem, and Ian Jolly, Heathrow Airport LUNCH BREAK 12.15-14.00 ASSET MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE 13.45-14.15 Fixed asset monitoring A presentation highlighting the advantages of live real-time monitoring of asset performance and efficiency through innovative Technology. Darren Harris, Deritend, and a representative, Riventa 14.15-14.45 AMP6 totex – are you fit-for-purpose? Has the legacy of previous AMP cycles prepared you for AMP6? We look at examples of sewage pumping station (SPS) asset life, both past and present, and explore PS design and maintenance, best practice and what it takes to deliver sustainable SPS' that are fit for purpose long into the future. Andy Wilson, Hidrostal 14.45-15.15 Taking a whole-life approach to pump operation and maintenance This paper discusses how understanding small changes in machine behaviour can be used to actively predict maintenance regimes according to specific needs of each pump, whilst addressing challenges faced in getting budget approval for proactive maintenance work. Pharic Smith, Weir Group EXHIBITION OPEN 15.15-16.00 (Timings may be subject to change) Totex is coming and the ability of water companies to understand the true costs of owning their pumping station assets has never been greater ANDY WILSON, HIDROSTAL HIGHLIGHTS ˜ THE FUTURE OF FIT-FOR-PURPOSE PUMPING THE CONTROL PANEL AT BEDFORD PS HEATHROW'S WATER TEAM USED PUMP CONTROLLERS TO MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCIES DAVID BOOTH, MEICA TECHNICAL SPECIALIST, ENVIRONMENT AGENCY their pumping station assets PUMP CENTRE CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION 2014 PREVIEW 9 MONO ™ EXPERIENCE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED For more information, visit: www.mono-pumps.com/en-uk At the heart of British ingenuity Mono Pumps...
