Water & Wastewater Treatment

G Oxymiser Simon Oakes, Wilo Pumps & Graeme Fielden, Suprafilt A technical appraisal of optimised Oxidation and Aeration systems – using an holistic approach to harmonize the various elements (Diffusers / Blowers / AO Analysis / Float Valve & Mixers) to generate low whole life costs, increased security and improved Oxygen transfer for optimised occupancy of treatment tanks. H WHat yOu need tO knOW abOut tHe Water industry mecHanical & electrical (Wimes) specificatiOns Bob Went, Pump Centre Consultant From a modest beginning in the early 1990s under the auspices of the Pump Centre, the WIMES suite of specifications has grown to become the de-facto water industry standard. There are now approximately 70 specifications covering a wide range of water and waste water equipment and processes. This session will outline the background and purpose to the formation of the WIMES specifications, the process for identifying and developing them, and some guidance on their use including the data sheets. i uncOverinG tHe OppOrtunities Of tHe cOnditiOn mOnitOrinG Wireless revOlutiOn Karl Dalton, SKF A simplified overview of the emerging technologies and wireless protocols and their applications within the water industry. The presentation will explore current trends and future potentials with using both wireless and cloud based software architecture. J demOnstratinG tHe effect Of speed On pump perfOrmance Steve Moore, Pump Centre Consultant Centrifugal pump performance can be approximated using the "Affinity Laws". This session demonstrates how varying the pump speed effects the pump performance and how the laws can be used to predict the change. k pump maintenance in tHe Water industry - OvercOminG cHallenGes Martin Bagg & John Morgan, SPP Pumps Maintaining pumps in the water industry - often a 24/7 critical application - is of paramount importance. From minimising downtime, to maximising the efficiency of pumps, driving maintenance costs down, to formalising framework agreements, there are many aspects to consider. This session will take a look at the challenges facing the industry and the options available to overcome them. l HOW best tO Get efficiencies usinG vsds Andrew Stephenson, Nord It's well documented that depending on the application there are running efficiencies to be had by installing VSDs, but what other efficiencies or benefits could also be achieved without additional cost?
