Editor's foreword
Welcome to the latest edition of WWT's pump supplement. If you want to find out
the latest best practice, innovations and products that are making waves in the
world of pumping, then you've come to the right place. As my interview with
Duncan Lewis of Xylem, the new president of the British Pump Manufacturers
Association (BPMA) reveals on page 4, there is plenty going on in the pump field
that belies the commonly held view of pumps as the workhorses of the industry.
Getting your pumping operations right is no longer as simple as selecting the right pump for the
right application: performance monitoring, data analytics, the correct consideration of
maintenance and assessment of operational cost are now expected. Regulatory standards are on
the move, thanks to an increasing focus on energy efficiency and the potential upheaval of Brexit.
To find out about these topics and more – including case studies of pumping best practice and
thoughts from industry experts on pumping trends – read on.
