22 WET NEWS JULY 2014 WHAT'S NEW! High pressure, low flow dosing Anti-the design grating ACO has launched an alternative to the traditional two-part channel and grating system, the MultiDrain Monoblock PD100D. The one-piece, anti-theft design removes any risks associated with dislodged or stolen gratings. The lightweight Monoblock PD100D was developed to meet the demands of both contractors and end clients. It is manufactured from Vienite, Pump delivers energy efficiency Traditionally, the wastewater industry had to choose between selecting a pump that delivered energy efficient performance or free passage. The Grundfos S-tube with its innovative impeller has alleviated this situation as there are no dead zones and no cutting or moving parts that can wear. Such a scenario faced a water utility company in the South-west ACO's high performance recycled material that is four times stronger than traditional concrete. With an integral Heelguard grating, Monoblock PD100D is certified to BS EN 1433:2002 load class D400, and is suitable for pedestrian, car and HGV applications. The system's 0.5m long channel units form the core of the range — these are available in five constant depths from heights of 128mm to 353mm. The 100mm wide channels are available as standard in black, typically complementing asphalt pavements, or in natural or grey colour options. www. aco.co.uk Tel: 01462 816666 at a wastewater pumping station, where it was experiencing high operating costs and disruptions. This situation resulted in 15 blockages over a three-month period necessitating vacuum tanker cleaning events to remove rags and clean the pump chamber. Grundfos was asked to look at the pump station and selected the SL1.80.80 Atex-rated S-tube wet well submersible pump to improve the performance of the pump station. This pump had a solids handling capacity of 80mm whilst maintaining an efficiency of 63% therefore there was no compromise between pump efficiency and solids handling capacity – a key feature of the S-tube impeller. www. uk.grundfos.com Tel: 01525 850000 Chris Newsome Director of Asset Management Anglian Water Graham Southall Head of Commercial Projects Thames Water Mike Pedley Head of Energy Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Dan Green Head of Sustainability and Innovation Wessex Water Ben Roche Head of Energy and Recycling Operations Yorkshire Water Chris Toop General Manager, Energy Programme Scottish Water Neil Liddell-Young Renewable Energy Manager Severn Trent Water SPeakeRS iNCLuDe For the past 3 years, WWT's flagship Sustainable Water Conference and Exhibition has established itself as the premier event for water industry professionals tasked with building resilience and sustainability into their businesses.

The new valve contains a ball that enables the linear flow of liquid, with a patented, regulating fin shaped ball, a dial on top of the valve to indicate percentage of flow and an updated easy to fit design. The range is available in various sizes from 16mm-63mm and is available in PVC-U. Unlike other solutions that are available, where the flow increase is greater or smaller at either the start or the end of the opening cycle, the new VKR valve is linear throughout the full cycle. Furthermore the valve can be proportionally actuated using an electric positioning actuator with 4-20mA input. The VKR valve is lightweight, easy to install and available from stock within 48 hours of ordering. www. durapipe.co.uk Tel: 01543 279909 A new range of dosing pumps from NOV Mono offers an efficient, reliable and low maintenance solution for applications where low flow, accurate dosing is required. The new Mono dosing pump provides a smooth pumping action with no pulsation and very low shear. The pump is suitable for either intermittent or continuous dosing duties in high pressure, low flow applications, and represents a cost-effective and reliable alternative to the more expensive gear pumps traditionally used for these types of duties. The new dosing pump has the option to transfer low flows at high pressure, up to 1,044psi. With no valve components, blockages are eliminated and the working pump life is extended. Stators are available in a variety of different materials, and their flexible and resilient operating characteristics enable the pump to handle a wide variety of applications, and increase the pump's resistance to wear.. www. mono-pumps.com Tel: 07892 678902 WATERMARKET BESPOKE FABRICATIONS/PIPESCOUPLINGS & FITTINGS CONTROL PANELS & MCC'S FILTER PRESSES FILTER MEDIA GRP TANKS LEAD REPLACEMENT DOSING PUMPS & SYSTEMS ENCLOSURE/PUMP COVERS FASTENERS,FIXINGS & GASKETS CHEMICAL DOSING SYSTEM www.straub.co.uk Unit 6, River Brent Business Park Trumpers Way, Hanwell, London W72QA Tel: 020 8571 3988 ~ Fax: 020 8571 3955 Email: sales@ibsblowers.com Contact: Graham Matthews or Gary Killick www.ibsblowers.com Stockists of all manufacturers of new and reconditioned blowers Blower Repairs • Hire Blowers • Conveying Systems Unit 6, River Brent Business Park Trumpers Way, Hanwell, London W72QA Tel: 020 8571 3988 ~ Fax: 020 8571 3955 Email: sales@ibsblowers.com Contact: Graham Matthews or Gary Killick www.ibsblowers.com Stockists of all manufacturers of new and reconditioned blowers Blower Repairs • Hire Blowers • Conveying Systems Variable speed rental blowers from 1003/m to 9,0003/m Tel no: 020 8571 3988 24/7 sales@ibsblowers.com www.ibsblowers.com 100% Oil-Free Blower Hire Hire • Leasing • Used Equipment Leasing Used Equipment 100% Oil-Free Blower Hire • Aerzen quality blowers & compressors • Variable speed drive for optimum control • Bare shaft or fully packaged • Turn-key aeration systems • Genuine 24/7 operation Aerzen Hire & Leasing Centre UK: 01827-839375 24/7 Emergency Support: +31 264464723 www.airental.eu T - 01903 69 44 00 E - sales@euroby.com www.euroby.com For all your Centrifuge Mobile Dewatering needs • Mobile / contract dewatering • All types of sludge / effluent • From 4m 3 / hr to 120m 3 / hr machines • Short / long term hire • Emergency work undertaken Euroby Small Ad 18/1/13 09:15 Page 3 EUROPEAN GEOPHYSICAL SERVICES BOREHOLE CCTV INSPECTIONS • CASING INTEGRITY SURVEYS GEOPHYSICAL LOGGING AND SURVEYING ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING TEL: 01939 210 710 FAX: 01939 210 532 email: eurogeophys@europeangeophysical.com www.europeangeophysical.com Excellence in compact design, energy effi cient, linear diaphragm blower technology for aerobic sewage and wastewater aeration EL models offer a wide air fl ow capacity range up to 300 L/min (18m³/h) JDK models offer up to 40% improved effi ciency levels Additional technologies include Side Channel Blowers, Fine Bubble Membrane Aerators, Programmable Control Boxes & AODD Pumps BIBUS (UK) Ltd, Unit 20, Soho Mills, Wooburn Green, Bucks, HP10 0PF Tel: +44 (0) 1628 533300 Email: info@bibus.co.uk Web: www.bibus.co.uk BOREHOLE ENGINEERING SERVICES Division of Drilcorp • Drilling & Licencing • Refurbishment/Decommissioning • Aquifer Testing • Pump & Control Systems • Water Treatment • Consulting & Troubleshooting T: 44 (0) 844 406 8349 info@borehole-engineering.com www.borehole-engineering.com CHEMICAL DOSING PUMPS UP TO 1100 L/H PH, REDOX AND CONDUCTIVITY CONTROLLERS COMPLETE AUTOMATED CHEMICAL DOSING SYSTEMS INCLUDING DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE LMI HOUSE, WEST DUDLEY STREET, WINSFORD, CHESHIRE CW7 3AG TEL: 01606 550583 EMAIL: SALES@LMIPUMPS.CO.UK FAX: 01606 550485 WEBSITE: WWW.LMIPUMPS.CO.UK Home of Random Biological Filter Media Tel: +44 (0) 1582 573 030 Fax: +44 (0) 1582 508 751 Email: admin@wardenbiomedia.com mel.bellingham@wardenbiomedia.com Web: www.wardenbiomedia.com 8 At Warden Biomedia, we DESIGN, MANUFACTURE and SUPPLY Random Biological Filter Media to improve aerobic wastewater treatment across the full range of applications - from the largest municipal sewage treatment plant down to a garden fishpond. 87x80mm.indd 1 14/01/2012 16:57 Vulcan Industrial Fasteners Ltd Tel: 01785 818494 sales@vulcanfasteners.co.uk www.vulcanfasteners.co.uk "Supplier and stockist of a wide range of fasteners, fi xings, gaskets and channel system and accessory products for the engineering, construction and pipeline water industries."
