www.bpma-cpsa.co.uk A Website for Certified Pump System Auditors. Energy Consumption is more crucial now than ever and massive energy savings can be achieved when viewing the pumping system and its connectivity as a whole.
BPMA Activity Highlights 2020/21 Total life cycle cost counts
BPMA Passes Membership Milestone
This proposal would have a huge impact on energy efficiency. After China and the USA, the continent of Europe has the third largest electricity consumption in the world – around 3,300 terawatt hours (TWh) per year.
The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) – the organisation which represents the business interests of UK and Irish suppliers of liquid pumps and related equipment continues to attract new members, In early 2021 PumpServ became the 100th company to become a member of the BPMA.
The Eco-Design Directive aims to improve the environmental impact of energy-intensive products through optimal design. Europump, has determined that water pumps can reduce electricity consumption by 35 TWh from 137 TWh a year. However, these enormous energy savings can only be achieved if indeed the narrow product approach is abandoned in favour of an extended product approach; with the aggregated savings being considered over the entire life cycle of the product and its related system.
Commenting on its membership of the BPMA, Matt Magee, CEO of PumpServ said: “Like the 99 members that preceded us, PumpServ have recognised the value offered by BPMA membership. We are excited to capitalise on the first-class training, excellent networking opportunities and improved access to technical standards”. Since PumpServ joined, BPMA has welcomed more companies on board and membership now stands at a record108 members.
Making the right climate protection decisions Representations are ongoing, with the pump industry determined to encourage the legislators to move away from the existing product approach that was adopted in 2009 for water pumps. In concluding, the BPMA, along with all the member organisations within Europump, support the demand of pump manufacturers to move from the ‘narrow’ to the ‘extended’ product approach for water pumps. ■
Steve Schofield, Director and Chief Executive of the BPMA said “I am thrilled to welcome these new businesses into our association and provide them with all the support services at our disposal. Their respective skill sets and competencies interlink nicely with other members, and we look forward to developing strong and mutually rewarding relationships with each of them over the coming months and years”. ■
Summer’s here and so is the BPMA Golf Day! For over 20 years BPMA’s Golf day has heralded the beginning of summer with its annual tournament held in May. For the second consecutive year, this event has had an enforced move to September. The good news for fans of this event is that there are a few places available, and you can still get involved. See facing page for the entry form. ■
Water Pumps and the Europe-wide opportunity for huge energy savings Despite the UK’s departure from the European Union, the BPMA will retain its membership of Europump, the European Association of Pump Manufacturers. Established in 1960, this influential body represents 16 national pump associations in 12 EU Member States as well as Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, and the UK. Europump members represent more than 450 pump companies with a collective production value of more than €10 Billion and an employee base of some 100,000 people across Europe. As a founding member, the BPMA will continue to play a significant role in the activities carried out by Europump, as much of the work undertaken will remain of relevance and importance to the UK. The BPMA, along with its counterparts across Europe want to implement the extended product approach (EPA) for water pumps. This would mean, in energy use assessment terms as required by the Directive, that not only should the actual pump be included, but also the associated electric motor and control system, which collectively comprise the entire pumping unit.
GOLF DAY ENTRIES
Interestingly, and by way of precedence, this approach has already been readily accepted in the case of heating pumps.

Brexit, the aftermath
Placing Goods on the UK Market post Brexit with information about the product and the conformity assessment body (where relevant)
On Christmas Eve the UK and EU made an announcement on the EU/UK Trade Agreement:
The UK Declaration of Conformity should be available to market surveillance authorities on request.
This website gives all the details: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/agreementsreached-between-the-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-and-no rthern-ireland-and-the-european-union From January 1, the UK and EU will have a free trade agreement based on zero tariffs and zero quotas.
The information required on the Declaration of Conformity is largely the same as what was required on an EU Declaration of Conformity. This can vary depending on the application legislation but generally should include:
It includes modern and appropriate rules of origin.
•
The new agreement would mean changes to how goods would be placed onto the UK market. Whilst CE marking could still be used until 1st January 2022 the UK government would be pushing the use of a UKCA. The titles of the majority of legislation from Brussels would change, designated standards would need to be used rather than European Harmonised standards. See Table 1 Below. For goods being placed on the UK market Designated standards should now be identified on the Declaration of Conformity. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/designatedstandards.

the details of the approved body which carried out the conformity assessment procedure (if applicable)
•
the relevant legislation with which the product complies.
•
your name and signature
•
the date the declaration was issued.

Pumps: Missing in Climate Action?
Pumps: Missing in Climate Action? The Case for an 11 Point UK Strategy By: Steve Schofield, Director and CEO of the BPMA What’s at stake? Liquid pumps and related equipment are the single largest user of electricity in industrial and commercial applications. In the UK this amounts to 45TWh annually which is equivalent to the annual electricity use of 12 million homes. The missing 11th point The UK Government has announced a ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution covering clean energy, transport, nature, and innovative technologies. The blueprint is intended to allow the UK to wipe out its contribution to climate change by 2050. However, the contribution of pumps to global warming is not being addressed in this ambitious plan, despite the UK’s past commitment to tackle the issue. This is a serious oversight, given the high energy use of pumps and their critical role in maintaining our industrial base and standard of living.
despite the convenient assumption that we somehow have the ‘gold standard’ when it comes to following rules, is lamentably absent in this area. Even if a company is identified as being in breach of ESOS a penalty of £90,000 is not even a slap on the wrist for a big business. Decisive action is needed to tighten enforcement. Introducing meaningful penalties, perhaps based on a proportion of company turnover, should be considered. In addition, there must be the political will to resist what is often misinformed pressure from big industry. On the other hand, while many of the cases for upgrading pumps will be clear-cut, financial assistance to encourage modernisation should also be examined. ■
A lot of the installed base of pumps is older technology and inherently more energy hungry, and which invariably have been ‘over specified’ because engineers and plant managers have wanted to ensure that if they need ‘more muscle’ for their processes, there is extra capacity available. Newer pumps are designed to operate efficiently at variable speeds
For further information on the BPMA’s support of the Betterworld initiative, and to find out how you can get involved, please contact Steve Schofield, CEO, BPMA by email on s.schofield@bpma.org.uk or by phone on +44 (0)7932 624 415
The Industrial and domestic applications required for moving liquids from A to B are a vital component of modern living, not surprisingly pumps are big energy users. The question has always been, can better engineering improve matters and help to deliver significant energy savings In fact, it is almost three times the expected longer-term savings – between 2023 and 2030 – from advancing wind power, which according to the government figures is expected to attract around £20 billion of private investment by 2030 and amounts to around 5% of 2018 UK emissions.
The leeading supplier of hydr y onic solutions
The policy challenge Larger industrial pump users have been required to carry out audits of energy use and introduce improvements under the UK’s Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), since 2015. However, some have taken advantage of a loophole allowing them to opt out of this requirement, if they complied with the ISO 50001 standard aimed at energy management. This has meant they have avoided identifying inefficient pumping systems and subsequently making them more efficient, which would significantly cut their energy use and help the environment.
Altecnic has been chosen by various industry professions for over 30 years. We have the industry’s leading expertise d development, proudly supported by nical and customer service teams.
Companies who fall within the scope of ESOS are required to undertake an energy audit conducted or overseen by an approved ESOS Lead Assessor. The pump manufacturing and repair industry reacted positively to this development by investing heavily in training qualified auditors and was fully ready to support the policy. However, there was opposition from some major industrial companies who saw this change to better, more reliable, and up-to-date technology in terms of increased cost, rather than as an opportunity for savings. Despite the challenges of Covid-19, the fate of the planet has been coming into increasing prominence. This is demonstrated by the UK Government’s commitment to its 10-point plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. It is also reflected in the updated version of ISO 50001 (2018). Within sections 9 and 10 of the 2018 version the standard now stipulates that energy savings identified must be achieved or certification will be withdrawn. This means that, finally, all companies covered by the legislation must have energy audits and that the audit recommendations should be carried out.

BPMA Activity Highlights
Pump Industry Celebration set for September As the UK charts its course out of COVID lockdown, with pubs and restaurants reopening to help quench the nations pent up desire for social interaction with family and friends, and UK businesses, large and small, forging ahead towards some semblance of normality, the BPMA looks forward to once again recognising and rewarding pump sector excellence.
be carried forward accordingly. The following nine awards will be presented to their rightful winners: Product of the Year Sponsored by Process Engineering Project of the Year Sponsored by Stuart Turner Environmental Contribution of the Year Sponsored by SPP Pumps Manufacturer of the Year Sponsored by WEG UK
Having been one of the first industry events to be postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the 20th Annual Pump Industry Awards Ceremony was moved from its original March 2020 dateline to the new date of Thursday 23rd September 2021. Commenting on the rescheduling, Event Director, Andrew Castle said: “Although the decision to postpone the awards dinner was essentially ‘out of our hands’, the complex nature of such an event and the amount of time, work and effort spent on its delivery, demanded that we found the best possible alternative date. I am therefore delighted that in conjunction with our sponsors and partners, and with the full support of our excellent venue, we were able to secure this September 2021 date.”
Distributor of the Year Sponsored by EMIR Software Supplier of the Year Sponsored by Wilo Contribution to Skills & Training Sponsored by Tomlinson Hall Rising Star Award Sponsored by World Pumps Lifetime Contribution Sponsored by BPMA From the record number of nominations received, the judges shortlisted 37 finalists across the full complement of categories to go through to the public vote. That online voting process has of course now closed, and the winners will finally be announced during the charged atmosphere of the awards ceremony in September. The full list of finalists can be found on the dedicated awards website. This year’s awards programme celebrates its 20th Anniversary, and so despite the postponement, we can still look forward to a wonderful evening of reward and celebration, when hopefully the current health crisis will be drawing-to-an-end. In the meantime, should you have questions regarding any aspect of the Pump Industry Awards Dinner, please do not hesitate to contact the organisers directly or via the website.
He continued: “Not only does this allow as much time as possible for the virus to be adequately managed, as determined by the Government’s roadmap to the lifting of restrictions, it also positions our celebration to follow the successful nationwide rollout of the vaccination programme, whereby all adults across the UK will have received both doses, and social confidence will have returned.” Steve Schofield, CEO, British Pump Manufacturers Association added: “No-one could have foreseen the disruption caused by the pandemic, and the pump sector has not been immune to its impact, however, despite the many challenges, or maybe because of them, business and professional excellence still deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated. The Pump Industry Awards will do just that, and at a time when I am sure we will all be ready for a good night out.” The Gala Awards Dinner will be staged on the evening of the fourth Thursday in September at the Chesford Grange Hotel in Kenilworth, and on the exact same basis as originally planned. All sponsorships, table bookings and overnight accommodation will be honoured for this new date and will

T h e E v o l u t i o n o f Q u a l i t y P u m p Tr a i n i n g both courses have received makeovers and updates the latest of which was completed in 2021.
The Evolution of Quality Pump Training
In the Autumn of 2020, when the Coronavirus restrictions were in place, BPMA training moved online with all Classroombased courses being presented as Webinars. This important transition was made ever more possible because each course had been regularly and continually updated to keep abreast of any changes in pumping technology and legislation requirements. With live real-time access to the course tutor, these courses are delivered to groups of several delegates remotely by Alex who typically presents each course over three weekly 3-hour sessions.
By: Steve Smith, assistant director and operations manager, BPMA It was back in the 1990s that the BPMA Technical Committee under the Chairmanship of Leslie Teasdale devised the first classroom-based pump training modules. From the very beginning, it was agreed that the courses should provide the best independent pump training, based on knowledge gathered from those who were considered experts in their field.
By asking students to keep cameras and microphones on during the session, the course delivers an experience that closely resembles the Classroom. With students able to ask questions of Alex that are more specific to their area of work, each course ensures the students get the most from the training and for Alex, no two deliveries of any course are ever the same. Commenting on the future of training for the BPMA, Steve Smith said “The next few years will be an exciting time for our training programme as we look to roll out more courses, beginning this year with the 2-day Pump Repair & Maintenance course”.
Over the years these courses evolved into 5 one-day courses. Regularly updated to take in new developments and incorporate best practice, they have always remained true to the initial brief of quality independent training for all. Alex Yates, BPMA’s principal lecturer for these courses said, “It has been my pleasure to become BPMA’s latest custodian of these courses, to update and revise when necessary, and to deliver them to a new generation of Pump professionals, passing on knowledge that they will take with them and use daily in their chosen careers.”
In February 2021 BPMA released an updated version of the Training Guide with a clearer more concise coverage of all of their training courses including the new 2 Day Pump Repair & Maintenance course. A pathway to Continual Professional Development that students can see, plan and strive towards. ■ For a print copy email: training@bpma.org.uk For dates on all forthcoming courses go to https://www.bpma.org.uk/lectures
In 2006 BPMA commissioned Lez Warren to devise two Elearning courses – a basic introduction to pumping course and a much more advanced course. Both are still being delivered today, although once again they have each seen some changes over time. Professional voice overs were added in 2015 and

The last Machinery Working Group video conference took place on 9 and 10 November 2020. A considerable part of the meeting was dedicated to the Commission presentation of its draft proposals to revise the legal text of the Machinery Directive, on the basis of the inputs collected from Member States and some stakeholders. The Commission requested machinery experts to provide their feedback on the proposed changes by 8 December. Many of the proposals consisted of specific requirements in Annex I regarding new technologies, as well as changes to certain definitions (e.g. partly completed machinery) and introducing additional provisions to allow digital documentation.
The latest meeting of the Working Group Pressure (WGP) took place on 12 March 2020 (limited physical participation). As the Commission intends to turn this working group into an expert group (with a new name “expert group on Pressure Equipment”), members of the WGP were invited to provide comments on the draft rules of procedure which were presented to them. One of the major points of discussion was the PED Guideline C-13 which concerns the interface between the PED and the Machinery Directive (MD). The PED ADCO Chair explained that there is a lack of a global conformity assessment which is required for assemblies under PED, arguing that what needs to be further clarified is that for certain types of machinery both the MD and PED apply. Orgalim challenged this position stating that a machine incorporating a pressure equipment does not become a pressure equipment and that all risks including those related to pressure are sufficiently dealt with by the machinery manufacturer under the MD. The Guideline C-13 will also be discussed in the next Machinery expert group meeting, with the aim of arriving at a common understanding on the matter in both the MD and the PED groups. For further background, the minutes of the WGP meeting and the relevant working documents are available from the secretariat.
The European Commission published the final report of the impact assessment study on the revision of the Machinery Directive on 3 September. The aim of the study was to assess the impacts of the different policy options identified in order to select the most cost-effective one(s) that ensures a high level of health and safety. The study concludes that in general, the MD is fit for purpose, yet the application of different policy options where suggestions of revision are put forward have the potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Directive going forward. The study analysed four policy options. • •

The latest meeting of the Working Party Guidelines (WPG) took place on 19-20 April. The WPG adopted the PED Guideline on risk assessment/hazard analysis (to be submitted to the Working Group Pressure (WGP) for approval), although Orgalime questioned the usefulness of this guideline given that market has adapted to the new rules under the PED 2014/68/EU.
Those who wish to receive the full text of the policy options should contact s.schofield@bpma.org.uk One area which members need to be aware of is the Harmonised standard EN809, it has been agreed to revise the standard with CEN but not to include ISO. Frank Ennenbach Sulzer & Europump has agreed to be the convenor of the new CEN TC 197 wg.
The latest Working Party Guidelines held a meeting in Brussels on 5 September. The group discussed the status the adopted PED Guidelines (version 5.2), the pending ones as well as four new requests to produce PED Guidelines. For further information the agenda and working documents are available from the secretariat.
Work is expected to start before March 2021.
As for the Working Group Pressure, the next meeting is tentatively scheduled to take place on 25 November.
European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) Institute for Energy and Transport is also carrying out a study on behalf of DG GROW to assess the impact of a possible extension of the scope of the Machinery, Pressure Equipment and ATEX Directives regarding equipment intended for use in the offshore oil and gas industry.
At the recent Europump meeting the French association tabled a motion that it may be time for pumps to be part of the PED. Other members of Europump totally objected to this. This needs monitoring!!
The new Directive 2006/42/EC came into effect as from 29 December 2009. The BPMA have now issued useful information on the requirements of the New Machinery Directive and also captive screws for guards. To comply fully with the new directive members should work to the revised text of standard EN 809 1998 +A1:2009 which was published by BSi February 2010. A preliminary version of the proposed revision of the existing Europump Guideline has now been Circulated (3 pages). This ensures that the pump industry fully understand its obligations.
Within the UK the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has contacted the BPMA with concerns regarding certification of sealant systems for double mechanical seals typically plan 53. They believe some systems are being purchased that do not fully conform to the PED.

The European Commission published the Evaluation and Fitness Check Roadmap of the Low Voltage Directive on 30 October, inviting stakeholders to provide feedback by 27 November. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the overall performance of the LVD 2014/35/EU against the standard evaluation criteria: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and EU added-value. Some key aspects on which this evaluation may focus relate to: checking possible challenges/risks stemming from digitalisation of electrical equipment; assessing whether the recent increasing number of safeguard clauses and objections to harmonised standards raised by Member States may necessitate a change in the scope of the LVD and/or health and safety requirements; and identifying any possible overlaps with other EU legislation, mainly the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC) 2014/30/EU, and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
the current Working Group. Further information on the selection procedure, the application form and terms of reference is available here. From Europump Frank Ennenbach (Sulzer) has been nominated as the pump expert on Atex. Standards situation IEC standards 80079-36 & 37 were published in 2016 and include major changes to the marking and documentation of non- electrical goods such as pumps. Pump manufacturers should start working to these two new standards it will be a legal requirement after 31st October 2019. Europump Standards Commission have revised its Atex Guidelines Parts 1 and 2 according to the new standards and situation (+ IECEx). These guidelines will help members with the new requirements.
Members are required to use the new number as of April 2016.
Copies of the Atex Guidelines are available from S Schofield at the BPMA.
At a recent Europump meeting a discussion took place on if domestic pumps should comply to both the Machinery Directive and Low Voltage Directive. Most of these currently work to the EN 60335 series of standards.
A new list of harmonised standards in the framework of the implementation of the Directive 2014/34/EU regarding equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres was published in the Official Journal on 12 October (OJEU 12.10.2018 C 371/1).
The conclusion was that the Declaration of conformity for these products should include both Directives.
The Atex 2014/34/EU Guidelines 2nd edition December 2017 are now available from S. Schofield BPMA upon request.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility DIRECTIVE) 89/336/EEC Old 2004/108/EC new 2014/30/EU after2016
The key changes reflect the alignment with the New Legislative Framework (NFL) and mainly concern: •
definitions (horizontal additions from the NLF)
•
more detailed information about the obligations of economic operators
•
more detailed requirements for notified bodies
•
updated references (presumption of conformity, CE marking)
•
simplified procedures for market surveillance
•
taking the contents and model of Declaration of Conformity (DoC) from the NLF
•
taking validity conditions for EU type-examination certificate from the NLF
•
practical transitional arrangements given for the DoC and the Directive numbering that needs to be stated (in accordance with the Blue Guide interpretation)
The public consultation on the evaluation of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMCD) was launched in October 2020 and will run until 29 January. The Commission aims to collect feedback from relevant stakeholders but also EU citizens that are concerned about any EMC-related issues, in order to get a better understanding of the performance of the Directive and whether or not particular types of equipment still pose a problem. Some implementation challenges were highlighted, notably concerning the standardisation process. In short, the main bottlenecks are related to the timeframes for the development of product-specific harmonised standards. At the same time, old standards remain published even when new harmonised standards are close to being cited, coupled with delays in the citation of the standards, which leads to regulatory uncertainty. Other challenges that were pointed out relate to the coherence of the EMCD with other Directives: in other words, there seems to be a coherence issue in terms of harmonised EMC standards being developed under the EMCD and RED respectively. The Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/660 of 15 May 2020 amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1326 as regards the electromagnetic compatibility of electromechanical contactors and motor-starters, arc quenching devices, distribution boards intended to be operated by ordinary persons and industrial trucks was published on 18 May 2020. The Decision aims to adapt the text to the revised harmonised standards drafted by CEN and Cenelec at the request of the European Commission. For industrial trucks, this resulted in adoption of harmonised standard EN 12895:2015+A1:2019.
LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE Old 2006 /95/ EC new 2014 /35/EU after 2016 NO Further news The meeting of the Low Voltage Directive Working Party initially scheduled on 19 June has been cancelled due to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 crisis. No new date has been proposed yet. Publication of the Consultants’ Evaluation study The scope of this evaluation covers the functioning of the LVD including monitoring of the implementation, as well as the operation of the conformity assessment. The study evaluates the degree to which the LVD has achieved its original objectives as regards effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, relevance and EU added value.
The latest meeting of the EMC Working Party (WP) took place on 19 September. The European Commission announced that it intends to perform an evaluation of the EMCD in the coming year. The evaluation study is to be launched in December 2019, to be followed by the publication of a public consultation and a stakeholder survey in the first quarter of 2020.
A new list of harmonised standards in the framework of the implementation of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU was published on 14 September 2018 in the Official Journal (OJEU 14.09.2018 C 209/37).

CENELEC stated that the HAS consultant report is not an accurate representation of the situation, as the assessments were carried out at various stages of standards’ development. The new directive makes reference to electromagnetic compatibility ‘apparatus’ instead of ‘product’ which was used in directive 2004/108/EC. No substantial changes to the technical provisions have been identified, but in the new text market surveillance procedures are both simplified and clearer.

Concerns on exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 5G networks were raised during a European Parliament policy department study presentation on “5G Deployment: State of Play” in the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy on 3 September 2019. The study states that potentially much higher exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation arising from 5G may have an impact on human health. 5G telecommunications technology is currently being rolled-out in Europe. The European Commission 5G Action Plan requests Member States to conduct national risk assessment to identify technological vulnerabilities and legal/market vulnerabilities. The Commission will review the risk assessments in the course of October.
The EMC Working Party meeting and an online workshop on the EMCD evaluation, which had been initially scheduled on 15 May were cancelled. The workshop will be replaced by future online discussions in smaller groups via webinars on specific topics related to the evaluation and selected products/ installations. To date, there is no information about the timeline for these online discussions. On basis of Directive 2014/30/EU on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility, electrical equipment covered by harmonised standards are presumed to be in conformity with the essential requirements of those standards. In order to follow technical progress, the standardisation organisations CEN, Cenelec and ETSI oversee the drafting, revising and completing of harmonised standards for electromagnetic compatibility.
Exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (EMF) is a recurrent subject in the European Parliament. The impact of radiations emitted by mobile network stations on human

health was raised by MEP Biljana Borzan (S&D, Croatia), who asked a written question about the implementation of the Directive 2013/35 on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents in Member States.
Revision of the DRINKING WATER DIRECTIVE 98/83/EC
The new Directive covers all sectors but mainly concerns workers exposed to a level of risk. It incorporates new international exposure limits, based on guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiations Protection (ICNIRP). The legislation obliges employers to assess the risks of exposure to electromagnetic fields and to take the necessary measures to reduce them, for example by replacing equipment or using interlocks or shielding mechanisms.
On 15 December, the European Parliament adopted the revised Drinking Water Directive (DWD) in plenary session after much delay following the agreement with the Council almost a year ago. The Official Journal of the EU published the text on 23 December 2020. The date of entry into force is 12 January 2021. Member States have until 12 January 2023 to transpose the Directive into national law. The text is an update of the first DWD adopted 20 years ago. The revision’s objective is to tackle the negative effects of emerging pollutants on the quality of drinking water. The new rules will improve the quality of tap water by tightening the maximum limits for certain pollutants such as lead and harmful bacteria. They also aim to cut plastic waste by encouraging the use of tap water. By early 2022, the Commission will draw up and monitor a list of substances or compounds of public or scientific concern to health. These will include pharmaceuticals, endocrine-disrupting compounds (e.g. Bisphenol-A), and microplastics. The Commission shall also establish European lists indicating which substances are authorised to come into contact with drinking water.
The new Directive addresses the short-term direct biophysical effects (e.g. tissue heating, stimulation of muscles, nerves or sensory organs) and indirect biophysical effects (e.g. interference with medical electronic equipment such as cardiac pacemakers). The directive stipulates an obligation for employers to carry out risk assessments and, if necessary, measure or calculate the levels of electromagnetic fields to which workers are exposed. Employers must ensure that the exposure of workers is compliant with a series of exposure limit values regarding thermal and non-thermal effects of electromagnetic fields both on health and senses, take corrective measures if such values are exceeded, and take measures aimed at avoiding or reducing risks to a minimum. Exposure limit values are indicated in the annexes to the directive.
Expert Group on the Implementation of the Drinking Water Directive held a meeting on the implementation of Article 11 on materials in contact with drinking water. The European Agency ECHA and the Member States are now starting to work on the compilation of current national regulations and positive lists.
The manufacturers and employers organisations insist that many working processes will be disturbed by the application of this physical agents directive, and it may even render the use of some machines or processes impossible e.g. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, spot and seam welding.
Regarding the issue of materials in contact with drinking water, the European Commission presented on 8 November a nonpaper to the Member States regarding the application of the new Article 10a proposal (available from the secretariat). This document presents an assessment as to how this proposal would work in practice and the projected costs of such an approach. As regards the overall feasibility of the system, by which the Commission would adopt positive lists, it appears feasible but not as proposed by the Council of the EU. The current proposal establishes that these lists should be adopted 4 years after the entry into force. However, the Commission paper finds that this is not feasible, but it may not be necessary either, as the allowed substances are either covered by the Food Contact Materials Regulation (FCM) or are covered by the existing positive lists developed by the 4MS (Netherlands, France, Germany and United Kingdom). Once adopted, the lists must be periodically updated. In terms of responsible agency, it appears that the preferred actor will be the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). However, the legal text should better define the role and obligations of the agency. Furthermore, there should be a high degree of coordination with the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA), to ensure coherence with the risk assessments under the FCM.
Construction Products Regulation (CPR) – Revision In the last quarter of 2020, the European Commission carried out a public consultation on the revision of the Construction Products Regulation. The results will be made available in next week on the dedicated page. This consultation focused on impacts of different policy scenarios to revise the Regulation, including the scope of the Regulation and new products, CE marking and Declaration of Performance (DoP), standardisation process, market surveillance, and environmental aspects. The European Construction Sector Observatory (ECSO) – part of DG Growth – has recently published two reports on the digitalisation of the construction sector: ‘Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction sector’ and ‘Integrating digital innovations in the construction sector: the case of 3D Printing and Drones’. The European Commission has also launched a study on principles for the ‘Design for Deconstruction’ in building design: this study is run by Ecorys and the final results are expected by the end of 2019. Whilst the CPR is not applicable to pumps its focus on the pump industry is becoming more relevant due to work within the Drinking Water Directive.
Europump has now completed its work on a Position paper and also a Guideline to assist members in selling their product on drinking water across all member states. This document was circulated to members in June however further copies are available from S Schofield.
The standardisation body CEN and the construction products sector have agreed to develop a “Smart CE marking” to provide information on product performances in a digital format. This CEN Workshop Agreement has now been published: CWA 17316:2018. It provides a link between the product and its DoP in a digital, machine and human readable format (XML). As a next step, a product-specific approach will be developed to allow the optional use of “Smart CE” by manufacturers.
The 4MS – soon to be 5MS with Portugal – published a new document on their website in the summer: a compilation of the positive lists of substances used for organic materials acceptance for contact with drinking water. This spreadsheet is not yet a harmonised list, but clearly shows what is authorised in France, Germany and the Netherlands (the UK does not use such positive lists). An update of the positive list of metallic alloys is still awaited.

Directive 2014/53/EU – RED NO Further news of significance
The report indicates that overall the RED has been operating well since its application date (i.e. 13 June 2016), despite a delay of some Member States’ to notify their transposition measures, and the late citation of harmonised standards under the RED.
The latest RED Expert Group (EG) meeting took place on 18 September. During the meeting, the European Commission informed stakeholders that they are planning to proceed with the adoption of a delegated act on internet-connected radio equipment and wearables by March 2021.
The next report on the implementation of the RED is expected to be released in 2023.
The European Commission published the impact assessment study report on internet-connected and wearable radio equipment (RE) on 15 April. This study was carried out between April 2019 and March 2020, exploring different policy options aimed at strengthening safeguards for internetconnected and wearable radio equipment, regarding data protection and protection from fraud. In particular, the study looked at whether regulatory measures (such as delegated acts) should be activated, either for article 3(3)(e) or 3(3)(f) or both, to ensure a minimum level of baseline security requirements to be integrated in the Radio Equipment Directive.
The latest list of harmonised standards (with 3 new references) in the framework of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU was published in the Official Journal on 14 September (OJEU 14.09.2018 C 326/114). The European Commission is planning to issue three delegated Acts under Article 3.3 of the RED, on: 1. A common charger (for all mobile devices) 2. Reconfigurable Radio Systems (including the issue of applying the RED after a product has been placed on the market, to ensure that the conformity of the radio equipment is not affected by the upload of a software/firmware update)
In the final study report the key problems identified relate to the lack of adequate safeguards to help prevent the penetration of internet-connected RE devices, the presence of security vulnerabilities notably for consumer IoT devices, growing complexity of global cyber-attacks and increasing risks for RE devices and wearables that are indirectly connected to the internet, such as via Bluetooth.
3. Privacy of toys and smart watches (to address the issue of fraud and privacy in consumer goods). There are 5 new CENELEC harmonised standards, 4 of which aim to cover RED essential requirements in article 3.1(a) on health and safety, and 1 covering RED article 3.1(b) on an adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility.
It has been suggested that in the medium-term an overarching Regulation going beyond the RED essential requirements and covering cyber-security may be beneficial, as it could help to avoid regulatory divergence between wireless and wired products.

WEEE AND ROHS DIRECTIVES 2012/19/EU & 2011/65/EU On RoHS, 2011/65/EU Renewal of exemptions
The European Commission have now published the updated list of harmonised standards in the framework of the implementation of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) on 14 July (C 229/24). The next list of harmonised standards is expected to be published on 15 October. In addition, the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document on the RED has been recently updated. It covers key clarifications on the scope and application of the RED, as well as the status of publication of harmonised standards, and how manufacturers can ensure compliance with the RED in the absence of standards.
Requests to renew exemptions 6(a), 6(b), 6(c), 7(a), 7(c)-I, 7(c)-II, 15 & 34 for Category 11 (i.e. new equipment falling in the scope since July 2019), were submitted to the European Commission by the Umbrella Project – an industry coalition – early October. As a reminder, existing RoHS exemptions are valid until 2024 and shall remain valid until a decision on the renewal application is taken by the European Commission. RoHS General Review The RoHS General Review was not included in the 2021 Work Programme of the European Commission. The legislative proposal is postponed to 2022, while the Commission evaluation report is still expected for 2021. The Commission is expected to launch in the course of 2021 a public consultation and to prepare an impact assessment.
Dual-use items – Regulation (EC) 428/2009 The European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade (INTA) has approved the interinstitutional agreement reached with the Council on the proposal revising the EU regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering, technical assistance and transit of dual-use items. The reviewed rules will govern the export of dual-use goods (software and technology such as high-performance computers, drones and certain chemicals that can have legitimate civilian applications, but can also be used for military purposes such as the development of weapons of mass destruction, terrorist acts and human rights violations). The agreement will set out rules for the export of dual-use items that are updated to take into consideration technological developments and growing security risks.
In view of the definition of ‘electrical and electronic equipment’ or ‘EEE’ in the Recast Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2), some pumps may be understood as EEE. After careful study of the Directive 2011/65/EU on RoHS, EUROPUMP and its members come to the conclusion that the following pumps and pump units may fall in scope of this Directive from 2nd of January 2013 on:
Given the uncertainty on the final outcome of the negotiations between the EU and the UK and a possible “no-deal” scenario, in March the European Parliament Plenary Session and the Council adopted the EC proposal for a Regulation to add the United Kingdom to the list of countries for which a general authorisation to export control dual use items is valid throughout the EU, amending Annex IIa of the Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 on dual-use. With this new Regulation, exporters of dual-use items to the UK will require a Union General export authorisation, which is aimed at facilitating controls on low-risk exports of dual-use items to certain third countries.

Waste water lifting stations for non-industrial, municipal or private use
•
Waste water pumps for non-industrial or private use
•
Pumps for garden ponds and similar applications
•
Drainage pumps for non-industrial or private use
•
Circulators
This means that pumps which were not covered by Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS1) and thus may not comply with the substance restrictions prescribed, but which are now subject to Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2), can still be made available on the market until 22 July 2019.
Work on the repeal of the Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of the Union regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering, technical assistance and transit of dual-use items is advancing slowly. After the vote of the EP Plenary Session in January 2018, the Council has not adopted its position yet. This was expected to be adopted on 5 December in order to start the trialogue negotiations on 11 December.
NOTE: In view of the current wording of Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2), this also means that the distribution / rental channels and stocks will have to be clear of non-conforming pumps on 22 July 2019. However, in view of the serious economic and environmental impact of such clearance, Industry associations together with the European Commission and Member States authorities are trying to find a solution to mitigate such consequences.
DG Trade has published a Targeted Industry Consultation on draft Internal Compliance Programme guidance for dual-use export controls. The European Commission and EU Member States created a Technical Expert Group to draft the guidance as a non-binding instrument identifying the core elements which are essential for an effective ICP for dual-use export controls.

The European Commission drafted a format for the registration and reporting of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) as per Article 16.3 of the WEEE Directive. This draft regulation is based on a dedicated study.
objective of this study was to provide the Commission with input in the preparation of an Implementing Act laying down requirements for the quality treatment of WEEE in the EU complementing those in the WEEE Directive, or any other policy option to be identified. The study will also assist in the preparation of a Delegated Act laying down the criteria for the assessment of equivalent conditions for the treatment of WEEE outside the EU.
The draft regulation establishes three formats and frequencies for reporting: 1. Format for registration of producers, or authorised representatives or third parties acting on their behalf
One of the conclusions of the workshop was that imposing mandatory WEEE treatment standards could have significant environmental impacts, including increasing of the collection rate, and could lead to further job creation.
2. Format for reporting to the register on data related to EEE placed on the market. Member States did not agree on the frequency reporting due to different national practices: annual vs quarterly reporting.
In the context of article 8.5 of the WEEE Directive on the proper treatment of WEEE, Member States may set up minimum quality standards for the treatment of WEEE. Furthermore, after the Waste Package was adopted last year, there was no reference to the WEEE treatment standards (EN 50625 series).
3. Format for reporting on data related to WEEE collected, treated, recycled and recovered to be performed on an annual basis. The entry into force of this draft implementing regulation is also subject to discussion: January 2019 or January 2020.
MEMBERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT PUMPS ARE INCLUDED IN THE UK AND YOUR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE REGISTERED WITH THE ENVIROMENTAL AGENCY AND WITH A COLLECTION SCHEME
Regarding next steps, DG Environment will consult other services in the Commission (inter-service consultation). The Implementing Regulation will then be discussed with the Member States at the WEEE Committee meeting in January 2018. The final adoption is envisaged in early 2018.

UK WEEE guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/producerresponsibility-regulations#waste-electrical-and-electronic-equi pment-weee
As a next step, ECHA has launched a public consultation for 4 new substances to be potentially included in the next update. Of these substances, we would like to highlight perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS) and its salts. This substance is used as a catalyst in polymer manufacturing, and its related substances are identified in the Annex XV report as being used in metal chrome plating processes. The deadline for comments is 18 October.
From that link the page of particular relevance is the page for producers Detailed information on scope is on the link below (it is actually linked from the above producer page). From this link you can get to the Commission’s FAQs which provide additional information, particularly around the exclusions on the move to open scope. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/atta chment_data/file/393740/LIT_7876.pdf
Authorisation process
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs_eee/pdf/faq.pdf
The European Commission has finally authorised five out of the six essential uses of chromium trioxide (EC 215-607-8; CAS 1333-82-0) applied by the CTAC consortium. These authorised uses are: formulation (use 1); hard chrome plating (use 2); surface treatment aeronautics and aerospace (use 4); miscellaneous surface treatment (use 5); and passivation of tin-plated steel (ETP) (use 6). The review period for all uses will expire on 21 September 2024, thus 7 years after the Sunset Date of chromium trioxide under Annex XIV REACH. Please find both the press release and the new Q&A published by the CTAC Submission Consortium, in order to assist with the implementation.
CHEMICALS (REACH) 2006/1907/EC Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Furthermore, new intentions to identify a substance of very high concern have been received for: •
2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde and its individual stereoisomers (EC -; CAS -)
•
1,4-dioxane (EC 204-661-8, CAS 123-91-1)
•
orthoboric acid, sodium salt (EC 237-560-2, CAS 1384056-7)
•
phenol, alkylation products (mainly in para position) with C12-rich branched or linear alkylchains from propene oligomerisation, covering any individual isomers and/or combinations thereof (PDDP) (EC -, CAS -).
As regards lead compounds, 4 substances used in the manufacturing process of batteries remain on the priority list. Although the industry called for granting exemptions specifically for the manufacture of batteries, no exemption has been recommended. Restriction process ECHA is working on the world’s broadest restriction of intentional uses of microplastics. The ECHA’s proposal is the most comprehensive restriction initiative in the world for reducing emissions from intentional uses of microplastics. Following an extensive consultation in 2019, the Agency has updated its proposal. The opinion-making process is still ongoing; the final opinion of ECHA’s committees is expected by the end of the year. Then, the decision whether or not to adopt the restriction and its scope will be made by the European Commission with the EU Member States.
Finally, the European Commission has requested ECHA to prepare a proposal to identify alkanes, C14-17, chloro as SVHC for submission in February 2021. Identification of SVHCs may lead to further risk management through authorisation. Brexit UK Withdrawal All registration processes on dossiers submitted by UK companies are now terminated if they were not fully completed before the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020. In addition, any transfer of registrations by a UK company needed to be initiated before 31 December 2020 and needs to be accepted by the successor as soon as possible in 2021, and latest by 31 March 2021. Failing to do so will lead to the revocation of the registrations. This means in practice that, since the end of the transition period: •
All pending UK submissions in REACH-IT are terminated
•
No registration numbers are issued to UK companies
•
Companies in the UK cannot perform any actions as duty holders in REACH-IT
•
All registrations held by or returned to UK companies will be revoked gradually in REACH-IT
Furthermore, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are working on a REACH restriction proposal to limit the risks to the environment and human health from the manufacture and use of all per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This is a group of more than 4,700 substances that are used in various applications since they offer surfactant properties and function, e.g., as water and grease repellent. ECHA will organise webinar on 29 October 2020 to learn about the REACH restriction process and the status of the proposed PFAS restriction. On registration
Candidate list
Member States have approved a Commission proposal to improve the compliance of registration dossiers with EU law. The objective is to raise the target of compliance checks from 5% to 20%. With this change, ECHA foresees to have covered approximately 30% of all registered substances by 2027. This will be supplemented with the work performed by the Enforcement Forum.
The Candidate List was updated on 16 July to include 4 new substances: 2-methoxyethyl acetate, Tris (4-nonylphenyl, branched and linear) phosphite (TNPP) with ≥ 0.1% w/w of 4nonylphenol, branched and linear (4-NP),
Furthermore, ECHA published in October a clarification on the rules for registration of phase-in substances. While the transitional regime under REACH ended on 31 May 2018, certain provisions will still apply until 31 December 2019.
The above does not apply to dossiers submitted by companies in Northern Ireland, who have updated their country code in REACH-IT. REACH continues to apply to these companies due to the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland.

BPMA Activity Highlights 2020/21 Water Pumps 547 /2012 Lots 28 and 29: NO Further news of significance
continued from previous page
The Final report on the Lot 11 water pump review was received in December (433 pages) this is for Regulation (EU) No. 547/2012 on Eco-design for water pumps. Europump submitted their comments early in March and to date have received no further response from the consultants or commission.
EU INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL DIRECTIVE 96/61/EC Replaced by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) The European Commission launched a public consultation on the revisions of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (E-PRTR) in December. This consultation opens the revision phase and it is running until 23 March 2021.
Original requirements:
In parallel, the European Commission pursues the implementation of the directive. They are drafting the work programme to draw up, review and update BAT reference documents for the period 2021-2022 (draft available upon request). The Commission suggests launching the revision of 4 existing BREFs on Large Volume Inorganic Chemicals (LVIC), Surface Treatment of Metals and Plastics (STM), Emissions from Storage (EFS) and Industrial Cooling Systems (ICS). Revisions should be finalised by 2025/2026.
•
Phase 1 by January 1st 2013 and have a MEI of 0.1 (10% cut off)
•
Phase 2 would be introduced January 1st 2015 and would be a MEI of 0.4 (40% cut off)
The benchmark set by the commission is MEI of 0.7 (70% cut off). The standard EN 16480 has now been published by CEN, however this was publication was carried out without incorporating comments received on the FDIS circulation. A new work item has now been raised by CEN so the work to incorporate the comments should start soon.
Europump proposal for Pumps and Pumps Systems which is expected to be incorporated.
Extended Product Approach (EPA) A Consultation Forum took place on 29 October 2019 in Brussels. It appears that Europump’s proposal was accepted and will move into an Impact assessment and the writing of legal text.
ENERGY EUROPEAN COMMISSION PROPOSALS FOR AN ECODESIGN FOR ENERGY-USING PRODUCTS (EUP) FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE –
Europump proposed the following;
Directive 2005/32/EC Energy related Products (ErP) Directive 2009/125/EC
•
EEIv for • Single Stage Pumps up to 45 kW pump input power • Booster Sets up to 150kW pump input power
On 11 March 2009, the EcoDesign Regulatory Committee approved new eco-design rules setting efficiency standards for industrial electric motors. Motors will have to meet minimum efficiency standards from 2011. The first phase will be introduced 16th June and motors must comply to IE2 efficiency levels. On January 1st 2015 Motors with a rated output of 7.5 – 375kW must meet either the IE3 efficiency or the IE2 level if fitted with a VSD. Thus cutting the annual energy consumption of these engines by around 135 terawatt hours.
•
EEIv threshold value of EEIv ≤ 0.62 for Single Stage Pumps
•
EEI threshold value of EEIv ≤ 0.50 for Booster Sets • Two Tier Approach: 1st Product information; 2nd Threshold
•
EEIc or MEI for all other Pumps in Scope • EEIc threshold value EEIc ≤ 1.00 • MEI threshold value MEI ≥ 0.40
By implementing the above industry could offer 30TWhr of electrical savings.
A guideline has now been developed by Europump for Circulators and Water pumps and is available from S Schofield upon request.
The Extended Product approach standards (pr EN 17038 Parts 1 & 2) have now been published.
Circulators 641/2009
Part 3 for “Booster sets” (Multiple pump assemblies the standard requires a substantial rewrite.
At the consultation forum in June 2019 Conrad Brunner (ECOS /NGO’s) tabled a proposal which advised that the circulator Industry could and should meet the following;
With regards to part 4 (submersible borehole) the draft has now sent to CEN and will be circulated for comment soon.
EEI<0.20 by 2022 going down to EEI<0.18 by 2025 and a benchmark of EEI<0.15.
Motors, ENER Lot 30: The Commission announced on 1 October that it adopted the measure. As a next step, the final text will be published in the Official Journal by end of October/early November. The latest versions of the text and Annexes are available through the links.
At a status meeting 14 December 2020 for circulators between the policy officer (Ronald) and VHK and VM, following the meeting 7 December between Europump, VHK and VM, it was decided to exclude the policy option setting requirements for integrated circulators at EEI=< 0.18.
Revised scope is as follows:
However many other policy scenarios were tabled and Europump have subsequently responded, copies of the response are available from s.schofield@bpma.org.uk
Energy efficiency requirements for motors shall apply according to the following timetable, these are set out in the ANNEXES to the repealed 640/2009:
Scenarios:
(a) from 1 July 2021:
PO2a: EEI≤0.20 for standalone and EEI≤0.20 for integrated
(i) the energy efficiency of three-phase motors with a rated output equal to or above 0,75 kW and equal to or below 1 000 kW, with 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles, which are not Ex eb increased safety motors, shall correspond to at least the IE3 efficiency level set out in Table 2;
PO2a1: EEI≤0.20 for standalone and EEI≤0.23 for integrated PO2b: EEI≤0.18 for standalone and EEI≤0.20 for integrated PO2c1: EEI≤0.18 for standalone and EEI≤0.23 for integrated

BPMA Activity Highlights 2020/21 improved. Whilst Serena fully understand our frustration but stated that member states are currently trying to dilute other articles within the Directive and they did not want to reopen Article 8 through fear that mandated audits could be removed. She said that Tom Bastin (Tom.bastin@decc.gsi.gov.uk) was evaluating ESOS in the UK.

(ii) the energy efficiency of three-phase motors with a rated output equal to or above 0,12 kW and below 0,75 kW, with 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles, which are not Ex eb increased safety motors, shall correspond to at least the IE2 efficiency level set out in Table 1;
Article 8, mandated audits has not been reviewed at this stage a meeting has been requested again with the writers of Article 8 to discuss the possibility of modifying the article to include a statement that potential savings within Motor Driven Systems should become actual savings. Discussions have taken place with Pneurop (compressed air) and it now appears that a joint meeting to the EC will take place to discuss options.
(b) from 1 July 2023: (i) the energy efficiency of Ex eb increased safety motors with a rated output equal to or above 0,12 kW and equal to or below 1 000 kW, with 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles, and single-phase motors with a rated output equal to or above 0,12 kW shall correspond to at least the IE2 efficiency level set out in Table 1;
Under article 8 of the Directive enterprises that are non SME are “subject to an energy audit carried out in an independent and cost-effective manner by qualified and/or accredited experts or implemented and supervised by independent authorities under national legislation by – three years after entry into force of this Directive – and at least every four years from the date of the previous energy audit”.
(ii) the energy efficiency of three-phase motors which are not brake motors, Ex eb increased safety motors, or other explosion-protected motors, with a rated output equal to or above 75 kW and equal to or below 200 kW, with 2, 4, or 6 poles, shall correspond to at least the IE4 efficiency level set out in Table 3.
The UK Government have chosen to introduce the requirements of the Directive through a Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). The ESOS scheme information has been circulated for consultation to all necessary stakeholders. The BPMA responded to this consultation.
Europump has now created a guideline which is available from S. Schofield. Energy Labelling Regulation Regulation 2017/1369/EU Previously Directive 2010/30/EU NO Further news
Previously by being certified to ISO 50001 (energy management systems) you automatically were seen to conform with the EED and indeed article 8. The 2018 new version of ISO 50001 has now strengthened performance evaluation and improvements to the point that if you do not comply you lose certification.
The revised energy labelling framework (Regulation was published in the Official Journal on 28 July 2017: it applies from 1 August 2017. The European Commission is still working on finalising the work on the European Product Database for Energy Labelling (EPREL) before it is fully operational. Market Surveillance Authorities are expected to gain access to the database by the end of October – officially they should have had access as from 1 January 2019. Further improvements have been implemented – particularly as regards the system-to-system communication – and bugs fixed. They maintained the principle of empty top classes in new labels and the rescaling mechanism (back to A-G scale), but abolished the differentiation between new and existing labels. In addition, Member States supported the database. However, the amount of information has been considerably reduced (e.g. no test reports) and some provisions have been added to safeguard confidential information.
INTERNAL MARKET OUTDOOR NOISE DIRECTIVE Directive 2000/14/EC (amended by the Directive 2005/88/EC) The European Commission released its long-awaited report on the evaluation of the Outdoor Noise Directive in November 2020 (see also the executive summary here). The Commission has also published the accompanying Staff Working Document. In light of the five usual criteria – effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and EU added value – the evaluation reaches a positive conclusion. In short, the directive met its main objectives and brought health and environmental benefits. However, the legal provisions proved insufficient to motivate consumers to buy quieter equipment and manufacturers to develop quieter machines. The original objectives are still valid today: ensuring free movement of outdoor equipment, reducing permissible noise levels, and providing information to the public. The report also points out costs for manufacturers and the lack of market surveillance. Finally, it highlights critical issues to be addressed due to the non-adaptation to the technical progress, including the scope, noise limits, test codes and measurement methods, and conformity assessment procedures. As regards the next steps, the European Commission will assess two main options to update this piece of legislation: 1. revising the Annexes of the Directive (especially measurement methods) through delegated acts; or 2. revising the whole directive.
Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU On 17 November, the European Commission launched an open public consultation on the revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), open for feedback until 9 February 2021. It follows the roadmap published on 4 August 2020. This revision runs in parallel to the one on the RED, both of them being part of the main actions outlined in the Renovation Wave Strategy, which calls for the directive to extend the requirements scope of public administrations and increase their annual renovation obligations. The revised regulation is expected to address the ambition gaps of the EU’s energy efficiency target of 32,5% for 2030, in view of the higher climate ambition.
The following proposal is taken from the Odelia study
The European Commission is expected to present the feedback results and a proposal for a revision in June 2021.
Water Pump units
In addition to the questionnaire, the Commission is organising stakeholder consultation activities through a series of targeted expert workshops on specific topics related to assessing different provisions of the Directive.
Diesel Motor
In April 2017 BPMA and members of Europump met again with the policy writer Serena PONTOGLIO to see if article 8 could be
P < 25kW
P > 25kW
109 dB
94 +11lg P dB 99 dB
It is believed that all pumps will require certification to identify noise level.

These reports describe amongst other aspects a consolidated proposal for the SRI calculation method and its main components, suggested implementation pathways for the SRI and results from the EU-level impact analysis of the SRI instrument.
In addition, the ‘inception impact assessment’ identifies the 3 main objectives for the review: 1. Reduce noise of outdoor equipment to better protect workers and citizens;
The European Commission is expected to adopt the draft Delegated Regulation and Implementing Regulation establishing the SRI by the end of the year. Once the legal acts are adopted and published in the Official Journal, testing and implementation in Member States may begin.
2. Update and simplify the regulatory environment; 3. Improve innovation and competitiveness. Finally, the European Commission proposes main policy options for the OND review, from implementation improvements or NLF alignment and conversion to a ‘Regulation’ to a full revision. This document highlights possible changes to the scope, noise limit values, conformity assessment procedures, measurement methods, noise label and data collection requirements (database).
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive stipulates that all EU states make new buildings ‘nearly zero-energy’ by 2021. The study shows a positive impact of the Energy Performance Certificate under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (Directive 2010/31/EU) on sales and rental prices, indicating that better energy efficiency is rewarded in the market. In one of the first studies of its kind to include an analysis of residential markets in Europe, it was found that higher energy ratings result in substantially higher sales or rental values of buildings on average in most of the Member States that were analysed
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) (2018/844/EU) NO Further news of significance Building Renovation Wave The European Commission is about to publish the Renovation Wave initiative. You will receive an early warning as soon as this Communication is available.
Circular Economy Policy In light of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan, the European Commission published on 11 September an Inception Impact Assessment, announcing a Sustainable Product Policy legislative initiative. In addition, the Commission opened a public consultation that is running until 2 November 2020.
EP Own-Initiative report on Energy Efficiency in Buildings The European Parliament adopted by 526 votes to 77, with 94 abstentions, the Resolution on maximising the energy efficiency potential of the EU building stock (Own-Initiative report by MEP Ciarán Cuffe -IE, Greens/EFA) on 17 September. As a reminder, this report is not legally binding but poses political weight on future decisions. It focuses on: •
Neighbourhoods and communities: All possible information and knowledge should be available at local level, including the possibilities offered by technologies
•
Finance: At least EUR 75 billion a year in EU financial incentives alone is needed to ensure deep renovations towards a highly energy-efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050
•
Construction technologies and building materials: Member States shall draw up a roadmap for scrapping fossil fuel heating and cooling technologies
•
Standards, skills and healthy buildings: The European Parliament calls for the introduction of a building renovation passport and invites the Commission to develop a legislative framework for the introduction of minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for existing buildings
The new initiative aims at increasing producers’ incentives to make products more sustainable, durable and circular. The Sustainable Product Policy initiative will set out sustainability principles and specific requirements linked to environmental and, where appropriate, social aspects. Additionally, it will improve information flows through various actions, such as mobilising the potential of digitalisation of product information though solutions like digital passports and tagging. First, the Commission intends to broaden the scope of the Ecodesign Directive to cover a wider range of equipment, beyond energy related products. Priority product groups are electronics, ICT, textiles, furniture and high impact intermediate products such as steel, cement and chemicals. In addition, the Commission is considering a series of measures, including imposing overarching product sustainability principles, making producers responsible for providing more circular products and intervening before products can become waste, digital product passport, mandatory minimum sustainability requirements on public procurement of products, requirements to address social aspects throughout the product lifecycle and ban of destruction of unsold durable goods. The various envisaged measures will be of both horizontal and sector specific nature.
•
Digitalisation and reliable data: Digitalisation of buildings and construction technologies are key drivers for greater energy efficiency.
The European Commission had launched a public consultation on the Sustainable Products Initiative roadmap in the autumn 2020. All contributions are available here.
•
Renovation wave: The Commission is invited to enshrine the renovations wave into new and revised EU legislation and to review the climate and energy targets for 2030 to put the legislation on a trajectory towards climate neutrality
The main point of interest for most stakeholders includes broadening the scope of the Ecodesign Directive, mandatory requirements for recycled content in products, mandatory information and labelling obligations, and digital product passports. The four points face a notable split between support, disagreement, and reluctance among business associations and member states, and strong support from NGOs. When it comes to EU-wide mandatory Green Public Procurement (GPP) criteria and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees, most stakeholders express positive comments. The situation is the opposite for the use of the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology, which is heavily criticised by most industry associations and the European Environmental Bureau (EEB). Lastly, most stakeholders raised concerns on the use of related legal

The legislative file on minimum requirements for water reuse went through the last stages of its legislative procedure. On 13 May, the European Parliament Plenary Session Committee approved the Water Reuse Regulation, whereas the Council adopted its position of 7 April.
instruments, like REACH, RoHS, and Ecodesign: these pieces of legislation should be used only for their intended goals and double regulation must be avoided. On 20 November 2020, the European Commission also held an Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Consultation Forum, during which it organised a first live discussion on the Sustainable Products Initiative. The main point of discussion was again the widening of the Ecodesign Directive’s scope to tackle nonenergy related products.
As a background, this legislative proposal is aimed at incentivising the reuse of treated waste water while ensuring a high level of protection of health and the environment. The proposal has also the objective to contribute to alleviating water scarcity in the EU by increasing water reuse, which remains below its potential.
SCIP Database (previously ECHA Waste Database)
The new Regulation will be now published in the EU Official Journal, and will enter into force on the twentieth day following the publication. It will then become applicable three years after its entry into force.
The SCIP Database has been the subject of fierce debates over the last months. Despite a lengthy debate, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) eventually launched the SCIP database on 28 October 2020, and suppliers shall submit SCIP notifications since 5 January 2021. As a reminder, ‘SCIP’ is the database for information on Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (products) established under the Waste Framework Directive.
The ENVI Committee in the Parliament published the draft report prepared by Simona Bonafè (S&D, IT) on 3 October. Thus far, the document is only available in Italian, but in summary, the rapporteur proposes: a) the need to further define the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders in the water reuse supply chain beyond plant operators,
Nevertheless, a coalition of industry organisations continued advocacy activities towards policymakers in the last months in order to reshape the database and to make it more workable. Following the letter sent in September to European Commission President, 42 Associations sent in October a letter to the German Presidency and a few representatives met the Deputy Director-General of DG Environment, Ms. Joanna Drake, in November. In parallel, an industry association submitted a complaint to the EU Ombudsman who turned it down. In short, the industry did not get the necessary political support to modify the Waste Framework Directive and compliance deadline for the SCIP Database. All EU institutions are strong supporters of the SCIP database and required the industry to submit required information. The Member States transposition of notification requirements is still ongoing but non-harmonised.
b) holistic evaluations of risk-management plans by public authorities, c) supports the Commission proposal on minimum quality standards, but advocates including parameters for salmonella, d) encourages that water reuse be not limited to agriculture and is applied to other civil and environmental objectives. Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive As part of the UWWTD implementation, the European Environmental Agency (EEA) has published data tables reporting Member States’ information required under the Directive. The data include urban waste water treatment plants, discharge points, and sludge handling and treated waste water re-use. The data table’s zip files can be downloaded on the EEA website.
On 19 November, ECHA organised a webinar to help the suppliers to get ready for preparing and submitting a SCIP notification. ECHA made a demo of how to create and submit a notification, and showed the tools that can be used to refer to information already successfully submitted to the SCIP database. ECHA also published different tools such as the Guidelines on Information requirements for SCIP notifications called “manual user” and a video about “who needs to notify to the SCIP database”. The other tools are available on ECHA’s website.
On 10th September, the Commission published the 10th report on the implementation of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) that shows an overall improvement in collection and treatment of waste water in Europe’s cities and towns, but points to different success levels between the Member States. Compliance with waste water treatment rules has increased compared with the past. The report shows that 95% of waste water in the EU is collected and 88% is biologically treated. In parallel to the report, the European Environmental Bureau released a web-based tool overseeing the development of urban waste water treatment in Europe in the period 1997-2017.
Water European Innovation Partnership, Water Frame work, Water Reuse & Water treatment Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) On 15 December 2020, the Parliament adopted a resolution on the implementation of EU Water legislation, drafted in the context of the “Fitness Check” exercise of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The resolution supports the Commission’s assessment that the WFD is fit for purpose and should not be revised. However, MEPs highlight that half of the bodies of water in the EU are still not in good condition and that the objectives of the WFD have not yet been reached. The resolution underlines that the WFD objectives need to be better integrated into sectoral policies, particularly in agriculture, transport and energy.
While a recent evaluation of the Directive concluded that the text is fit for purpose, the Commission announced that it will launch an impact assessment in view of modernising the Directive. The objective is to find ways to deal with emerging types of contaminants such as microplastics and pharmaceuticals. The fitness check of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) was published on 13 December. Preliminary findings indicate that European companies are at the forefront of water treatment innovation. However, the Directive itself could still improve certain elements such as: monitoring, reporting, investment gaps and increased public awareness. Some of the identified key barriers to success are the lack of political will and disconnect between national and local authorities towards implementation. ■
The European Commission published in September a roadmap on the Fitness check of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (2000/60/EC) and the Floods Directive (2007/60/EC). The fitness check comes in the context of the evaluation clause (Article 19(2) of the WFD, and will cover in addition the WFD ‘daughter directives’: Groundwater Directive (2006/118/EC) and the Environmental Quality Standards Directive (2008/105/EC).

Impact Pumps Ltd The Impact Pump SLX-40 is a submersible product that enables surface water pumps to draw water from underground water sources such as wells and boreholes. The patented Impact Pump technology enables surface pumps to lift water from up to 25m, day after day, year after year.
KTR U.K. Ltd
The Impact Pump SLX-40 submersible unit is permanently installed below ground in a well or borehole. The on-surface, wellhead, elements of this pump consist of pressure tanks, control valves and connections for the input and output flows.
KTR develops a new all-rounder coupling exploiting a new and very broad range of applications in areas relating to main and auxiliary drives in mechanical and plant engineering. The backlash-free and torsionally soft EVOLASTIC will be available in ten sizes and each ten basic versions for nominal torques from 100 to 5,600 Nm.
Water is pumped down the well using a surface pump. Extra water is drawn in by the Impact Pump (up to 2,000 L/hour). A tank is filled with the extra water, a small amount of water recirculates into the surface pump.
The heart of the EVOLASTIC comprises a non-slip elastomer element transmitting the torque to the contacts via vulcanized aluminium jaws. The elastomer connections to the hub or flange are ensured by radial and axial screw fittings. The design assures reliable torque transmission along with a precise prestress in the elastomer. The coupling requires low maintenance and is in a position to compensate for permanent angular misalignments of up to 3° in the homokinetic plane.

The World Market Vaccine rollout success and strong capex rebound to ensure solid post-pandemic recovery of pump demand this year.
Comment This year, we expect the vaccine rollout and a loosening of restrictions will lead to a rebound in economic activity, helped by supportive government policy. Activity in end-use sectors is also set to rebound this year. We expect pump consumption to grow 9.9% this year as restrictions are scaled back through the course of the year and end-use activity and investment picks up. Pump demand should recover to its pre-pandemic level by next year.
supply discipline has meant it is largely the non-oil sector that is driving growth in countries subject to quotas. The South American market is forecast to grow at the slowest pace, up only 4.8%, largely down to weaker growth in Brazil. Consumption in the largest regional pump market, Asia, is forecast to rise a respectable 9.2% after registering the smallest contraction of all regions last year. Forecast risks are skewed to the downside but there are emerging upside risks. If vaccinations are rolled out at a slower pace than assumed or have limited impact against new variants, restrictions on activity could remain for longer. Conversely, a faster pace of vaccination could boost demand more than in our base case. Source: Oxford Economics
On a regional basis, the fastest growing market is forecast to be North America where pump consumption is expected to expand 12.4%, boosted by US fiscal stimulus. In contrast, in Europe, which experienced a sharper contraction in 2020, growth will fail to reach double-digit levels this year. The Middle East & Africa market is forecast to expand by 10.5%, OPEC’s

IOGP is the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers, they want the revision of these standards, however industry (ISO TC 115) does not want to revise these and bring them up to date with API, as the pump industry feels that customers currently only work to API standards which are now imperial and metric.
Published Jan 2021
ISO TC 115 SC3 (USA) need to organise a vote at the 115 plenary meeting in spring 2021. The vote to be organised by TC115 SC3 should be that we do not re-open these standards and confirm them for another 5 years.
End users (IOGP) are trying to revise ISO 13709, ISO 13710 and ISO 21049 and have previously tried through ISO TC 67 and now they are trying through ISO TC 12.

The Benefits of using Variable Frequency Drives on centrifugal pumps used in Research Flow Test Loop applications By: Patrick Hindry of March May Ltd Introduction We regularly work with Companies and Universities that are building Flow Test Loops for performing experiments and tests in the research and development of: •
new liquids
•
changes in existing liquids properties due to compositions, density, pressure, temperature, and viscosity
•
new or modified technology processes and/or related equipment
In many of these cases, the actual pump duty parameters are not yet known, are only a rough estimate, or are wrong due to being incorrectly calculated. On top of this, the researchers are usually not experienced pump users, having very little or no theoretical knowledge of fluid dynamics and/or practical experience of using pumps, and pump systems. Not only do the researchers design their own test rigs, but they also must operate them themselves. This can be a dangerous scenario as it is common for them to be dealing with: •
Liquid temperatures between 200°C – 300°C
•
Pump inlet pressures of 20-60 bar.
•
Dangerous and difficult to pump liquids.
An example of a flow test loop good hydraulic design and practice, and there is little leeway to change the designs to allow for better pump selection. Another common problem is that the system curve is often wrongly calculated, and/or safety factors are added at various design stages, which results in the pump being too big.
In these test scenarios, the researchers want to be able to play around with varying combinations of Flow and Pressure (Q-H) output from their pump. They must work with a trialand-error mentality. There is no set of norms that they must conform to. This puts a lot of demand on the pump to cope with the varying duty parameters.
A pump can only operate where its Q-H curve intersects with the test loop system curve. It is a slave to the process. The system curve will change with time due to alterations in the following:
Flow Test Loops are a dynamic system A centrifugal pump is very sensitive to how it is operated within a pumping system. These test rigs are not always of
•
piping and fittings may be changed
•
pipes and fittings corrode
•
filters and heat exchangers block-up
•
valve openings change
•
tank levels change
•
system pressures change
•
flow demand changes
•
pump performance deteriorates due to damage or wear
Another difficulty is that there is no constant set duty point. The researchers want to be able to vary the pump output, both in terms of flow and pressure, to see what the effects are on their liquids and equipment. To vary the Q-H output of the pump, the user will throttle the flow by using a valve. Not all types of valves give good flow control. A pump can be of a very efficient design and then be operated in a badly designed test loop system, in an inefficient and unsafe manner. Benefits of using a VFD on these flow test loops Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are also commonly called Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), Inverters or Drives. a) Energy savings One of the main uses of VFDs in pumping systems is for energy savings, which is achieved by varying the pump’s speed to match the pump’s flow and pressure to that of what they system requires. Automatic speed changes are made by the drive based on data it receives from level, flow, pressure, and temperature sensors installed in the system. The mechanical throttling of valves to control a pump’s flow is not energy efficient, and when you throttle a valve, the energy lost across the control valve must still be covered by the pump driver. The drive brings energy savings. However, on these test (continued on page 33)

loops energy savings are not a primary consideration. It is the pump performance variability that is most important. b) Control and variability of pump performance A variable speed drive will allow for reduced or increased pump performance to match the actual system. There is no need to rebuild the test rig. A drive changes the pump curve and not the system curve. It replaces the practice of having to throttle the flow using a control valve. It is also possible to select a larger than required pump, so that it can be suitable for larger duty points in the future. They allow the user to run at any speed they want to, simulating the operating range of 2-10 pole 60Hz electric motor speeds, and more importantly it allows for the speed to be changed at will whilst the pump is running. This is a huge time saving benefit. The drive allows the researcher to vary the pump Q-H output over a wide range, without the need for several different sized pumps.
Flow Test Loop by Cortest Inc. Drives with an analogue potentiometer speed control knob can be very useful for quick and easy speed adjustments to the pump.
On small power drives up to 4kW, they are available in single phase input power versions, that then send three phase power to the driven motor allowing speed control. This is very useful as not all users have 3 phase power supply.
Points to consider relating to the use a VFD It is easy to control the Q-H output of a pump by speed control in a system with high friction losses having a steep system curve, a common attribute on closed loop systems or long pipelines. Small changes in speed results in small variations in Q-H which allows for finer control of the experiments. It is difficult to control this in a system with high static lift and low friction losses which has a flat system curve. The sensitivity to speed change may be too high. In such cases a small reduction in speed may give too large a flow reduction and one cannot control the flow as required.
c) Safe commissioning and operation On newly designed and fabricated test loop systems, the drive allows for pump commissioning runs to be done initially at slow speed giving low flow and pressure values. Then the speed can be ramped up over several runs. Any leaks and mechanical weaknesses such as loose or vibrating pipes and equipment can be found in a controlled manner. This makes it safe for the personnel doing the initial trial runs. They can also practice test procedures on reduced pump speed to ensure that nothing they change on the mechanical side of the system, such as closing or opening of control valves, will cause detrimental damage to the system. They often must perform experiments with disregard to what is considered normal practice when using pumps and related equipment.
Operators may be inclined to run the pump above or below its speed limits, as this fits their test requirements. It is very easy to ignore the pump manufacturers recommendations. One problem we often face in selecting the right drive for the application is that at the time of the pump quotation, the researchers do not know what level and type of data communication they require from the drive.
They offer pre-programmed operating points, so it is easy to do repeat performance runs. They allow for simple change of direction of rotation on the pump motor, if required. Drives can have start up and stop ramp times programmed to ensure safety of the operators. You get “switched” drives with a power isolation switch built in on their front cover, which gives added user safety if they need to open the drive.
Drives with clear and simple on-screen menus make it quick and easy for personnel to operate the pump/drive combo. Most drives simply connect to a computer with easy pc software making them easy to program and customise based on data gathered from trial runs.
In high heat applications, the pump can be let to run at low speed whilst the pumped liquid is brought up to operating temperature, allowing all mechanical elements of the test rig to warm up safely before high-speed pump runs with high flow and pressure conditions.
Some drives are specifically designed for pump applications and offer the following features:
d) Equipment protection They offer a soft start and soft stop mechanism for the pump and electric motor.
•
dry-run protection
•
over cycling protection
•
pipe fill mode
•
pump cleaning mode
•
alternating of duty pumps for uniform wear of all pumps
The technology of drives and number of standard features offered is ever increasing, and the costs of drives is becoming more affordable to pump users. Too much choice can be confusing, and one can buy a drive that is over specified and not good economic value, or you can buy one that is under specified and it will cost a lot to upgrade.
Drives protect the pump both electrically and mechanically and the test loop mechanically, extending the longevity of both. Drives can be set with a minimum and maximum motor speed limit which ensures the pump cannot be run above/below its operating speed limits. Most operators are aware that running a pump too fast will cause damage, but few know that on some pump types, running too slow causes mechanical internal damage and/or vibrations which in turn will cause damage.
The morale of the story is that one must understand their system and know their pump requirements. For further info, Email: sales@marchmay.co.uk. Telephone: + 44 [0) 1480 214 444
They also allow a pump to run slower which results in a reduction in wear and lower operating noise.

Energy Efficiency: H o w To G e t T h e M o s t F r o m Yo u r P u m p Energy Efficiency: How To Get The Most From Your Pump By: Guy Fitzpatrick of Xylem Water Solutions As the UK progresses towards net zero emissions, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions is among the top sustainability targets for every modern business. Pumps are considered to be the single most important component in critical functions in an industrial plant. From generating steam to cooling and removing excess heat, to removing waste and effluent, pumps keep processes running smoothly and efficiently.
performance to be controlled and optimised. An even better option is to incorporate a pump with integrated intelligence into the system. New digital solutions for both water and wastewater pumps can increase industrial reliability and productivity through the collection of data and smart networks which communicate with each other to self-optimise and reduce costly downtime and maintenance.
They are also a ripe source of savings for companies conscious of their carbon footprint: the right pump sized to correctly suit its function can cut energy consumption, in some cases by as much as 70%.
Pumps that move large volumes of water over long distances or to much higher elevations are prime candidates for improvement to optimise performance. A smart pump can revolutionise your process water management, for example, eliminating interruption while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs. Save on life cycle costs For submersible pumps, wear is the greatest contributor to the cost over a lifetime. By correctly sizing your pump to operate as close to the BEP as possible, as well as optimising the design of the hydraulic parts, you can significantly reduce wear. Cutting down on wear in turn greatly reduces unplanned maintenance associated to the pump, which saves on life cycle costs. Having the appropriate equipment in place with an effective maintenance schedule allows you to achieve long service life with a low cost of ownership, resulting in overall peace of Pumping for maximum efficiency Pumps can be one of the largest consumers of energy in a typical plant, using between 30% and 50% of the total electricity consumed. It can pay to watch the meter – higher energy consumption can be an indicator that the pump is not operating at its best efficiency point (BEP). Running too far from the BEP can lead to premature wear, more maintenance requirements, a reduction of overall efficiency and, as a result, increased downtime. Pumps are cited as the asset requiring the most maintenance. If just one pump is out of line, it can cause a disastrous sequence of events and run industries into unexpected and costly downtime, so taking care of pumps can mean taking care of the whole business. In order to get the most from your pump – to boost efficiency, reduce energy use and costs and enhance profit margins – consider these golden rules of pumping. Perform a pumping system audit Are the pumps in the plant sized properly? Planners and engineers often oversize pumps as a way of anticipating greater capacity needs and significantly oversized pumps run inefficiently and wear out faster than they should. Check whether pumps are operating at their BEP. Would a different type of pump perform more effectively for the application, for instance? Enhance performance by optimising energy consumption It is important to ensure pumps are not sleeping on the job: programmable logic controller (PLC) controls will allow pump

Energy Efficiency: H o w To G e t T h e M o s t F r o m Yo u r P u m p mind. Use a computerised maintenance management system to capture service records and perform timely upkeep. Standardisation with the aid of devices such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) can also help control costs.
reducing safety risks. With every pump, the first line of defence against lost time is effective monitoring and maintenance. Understanding the health of assets enables efficient scheduled maintenance, smart inventory management and reduced energy consumption. This, in turn, helps to reduce costs and greenhouse gas emissions, reducing industry's carbon footprint as the world progresses towards the goal of zero emissions.
Reliance on a limited number of pump models from one or two manufacturers can help reduce and simplify parts inventories, maintenance requirements, and necessary training. Optimise the whole system Digital water solutions can bring about major cost-savings through reduced resource use and less time spent on monitoring and maintenance of major equipment and processes.
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems make remote monitoring and control possible, eliminating the cost of sending technicians to check equipment. With improved visibility, plant operators can be aware of pump failure quickly if it does occur – and subsequently reduce downtime.
Employing digital solutions and looking at the whole process holistically can be a major enabler to ensuring that the entire pumping system performs at the highest efficiency level, delivering the performance required at low costs for energy and maintenance.
Create a contingency plan Unplanned downtime can cost up to ten times more than routine maintenance. While an optimised system includes built-in protection against downtime caused by equipment failure, the most critical equipment still requires emergency back-up and contingency planning.
VFDs can enable pumps to respond smoothly and efficiently to fluctuations in demand, meaning they are only used when required. A fully integrated wastewater system, for example, can sense the operating conditions and adapt its performance in real time to deliver energy savings up to 70% compared to conventional pumps and controls. It also reduces maintenance and service call-outs by including self-cleaning hydraulics, and even self-tuning to preserve key components.
Feasible options include the installation of a redundant pump in parallel with the principal pump that can be automatically activated if needed. If not, consider keeping a replacement pump in inventory – or, at minimum, invest in adequate replacement parts on-site.
Let technology take the strain
Developing a contingency plan and prearranging with a pump manufacturer or rental supplier to deliver a replacement immediately in case a critical unit fails is also a step many cannot afford to miss.
Water intake and consumption through pumps and wastewater management are two vital areas that should not be overlooked in the digital transition – innovation here can bring about major costs savings and increased productivity. Smart technologies like remote monitoring and control minimise costly, unplanned maintenance and unwanted downtime while

Condition Monitoring The impact of an asset failing unexpectedly varies depending on many factors including the cost of the asset, the complexity of the asset and which service the asset is performing. But when we are referring to machines which can cost from tens of thousands to upwards of one million pounds which operate in the most challenging and sometimes extreme conditions, the total number is not comparable to a flat tire or a brake pad change.
Condition Monitoring By: Jim Delaportas, Project Manager, IT Systems To better understand the concept as well as the benefits of Condition Monitoring in an industrial environment let’s think of the recent past in terms of the automotive market and technology. A few decades ago, we were driving our cars and if we were lucky enough, we could hear a noise, go straight to the service centre, ask the mechanic to check and identify the potential problem and fix it. We didn’t know what was wrong nor for how long our car would remain operational. An alternative scenario would be not to notice any warning signs and the car failing unexpectedly.
As expected, technology has made its entrance into industrial environments and it is here to change the way we do condition monitoring. With the introduction of “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT), Cloud Infrastructure, Machine Learning, 4G/5G Networks and Low Energy Bluetooth (BLE 4+/5+) over the
Presently, with the addition of sensor technology we know if something is going wrong, what is wrong (engine overheating, brakes wearing out, low oil level etc.) and probably how long we have until a failure occurs. Now let’s think of an industrial site where instead of a car we have hundreds or maybe thousands of pieces of equipment that are operating in cycles or even 24/7. How do we manage that? What is the best way to monitor the equipment health in such large scale? Throw in COVID-19 and remote working and the problem of monitoring equipment and maintaining reliability becomes a lot more challenging. Before we answer any of the above questions, we need to take another history lesson. However, for this history lesson we don’t have to go back in time because what was happening 30 years ago still happens to this day.
the i-ALERT2 Monitoring App
The traditional way to perform industrial condition monitoring is to split a site/plant into walk rounds, often called routes. Areas which can be covered in a few hours by an employee, either on foot or transport. The process is to visit each machine or asset and take a snapshot of the current operating conditions (vibration / temperature/ pressure / oil level readings etc) which will characterize the asset health until the next check takes place. The checks are typically performed in weekly, or bi-welly or even monthly basis depending on the size of the site and the number of employees available.
past decade we now have the capability to create a network of physical objects (sensors along with software) which are interconnected and exchange information regarding equipment health. To put it simply, this type of technology gives us the opportunity to economically apply sensors in industrial equipment which are recording 24/7/365 as well as broadcasting real-time important equipment readings such as vibration, temperature, pressure levels etc. and provide insight on when human inspection/intervention is needed. Moreover, with Asset Intelligence (Ai) algorithms we can take it a step further and have on demand diagnostics to define – how severe an issue is, what the fault is and recommendations on how to fix the problem. In essence, a virtual and remote vibration analyst across the assets being monitored. The operators will therefore act only when the system provides warning or alarm indications to do so.
Several organizations have already started adopting these types of condition monitoring programs and a very typical use case is to focus on equipment perceived to be less critical. This might sound strange but there is a logical explanation behind it. As mentioned before, such environments have hundreds of machines running constantly but some assets are playing a vital role in everyday production. A potential unplanned failure of highly critical equipment can result in non-affordable downtime. For those type of machines there are other condition monitoring systems which are typically more cumbersome to use, human presence and expertise is needed, and they are An internal view of a fire packaged plant solution significantly more expensive than what we have described above. However, the benefit of having to focus only on A few questions which come to mind are; What happens if an highly critical equipment and get automated notifications and asset fails in between checks?

Building up to fire protection Fire regulations lower sprinkler entry point
Building up to fire protection
One important example of recent changes has seen a review of the legislation surrounding building height rules, to tighten regulations in terms of where sprinklers will be required to be fitted in England and Wales. The announcement clarified the position that now states that any new high rise apartments of 11m and above, will need to be fitted with suitable sprinkler fire protection. This is a big decrease from the previous 30m limit and is even lower than had been mooted within the industry.
By: Linda Dingley of Grundfos Pumps Ltd No other area within the building services arena has come under quite the same level of scrutiny as the whole area of fire protection, particularly in relation to high rise buildings, in recent years.
Changes to the Building Regulations in Scotland were also announced, that came into effect in March 2021. They include the requirement for automated fire suppression systems to be installed in high rise residential buildings, houses of multiple occupancy as well as in social housing situations.
A Grundfos FireSAFE residential set
There is no doubt that these regulations, alongside other changes to various other aspects, such as cladding, will undoubtedly save lives. Although these changes have also been widely welcomed by the fire industry bodies, there is an awareness that there needs to be a real concerted effort made, in order to ensure there is sufficient skilled labour available to meet this new demand. They are now actively working towards this goal.
It is true to say that up until the recent focus, fire legislation has traditionally been a little slow to specifically mandate and has rather opted to take the stance of encouraging best practice, as opposed to actually legislating every aspect. Although there has been some historical variations in regulations in different parts of the UK, unsurprisingly – all areas are now seeing changes to, and the tightening of, fire legislation regulations. Which is, of course, good news. As pumps are at the very heart of fire suppression systems, many manufacturers have been promoting the use of additional fire suppression measures for many years. So what implications will this actually have for the industry?
An internal view of a fire packaged plant solution The bigger picture: To better understand the various aspects associated with effective fire suppression, here is a brief guide to the main terminologies and their related fire classification areas: Residential/domestic sprinkler systems Sprinkler systems are divided into two categories. Domestic and low rise and residential and high rise. The majority of the residential towers use dedicated pump sets or combined potable/fire sets. Watermist These systems are designed and tested to fight a specific type of fire and variate on application/project. These systems can offer single room protection (i.e. commercial kitchen protection) or full high rise protection LPH – OH Ordinary hazard (OH) pumps are used within sprinkler installations to protect smaller commercial and industrial properties from the effects of fire. They are pre-calculated systems for smaller commercial protection.

Understanding Viscosity Newtonian fluids, the viscosity of the fluid changes (e.g. tomato ketchup, glue, quicksand).
Understanding Viscosity
Effects of viscosity on centrifugal pumps Viscosity will have significant effects on flow rates and pressure capabilities of centrifugal pumps as well shaft torque and available power, the efficiency will obviously be lower. Anything over 25cP will have a significant effect on the performance of a centrifugal pumps. There are ways to calculate (or ascertain from charts) but that is beyond the remit of this paper, so for practical purposes:
By: Tony Dashwood of Crest Pumps Ltd When people talk about viscosity, they are talking about one of two things: dynamic (also known as absolute) viscosity or kinematic viscosity. One way is to measure a fluid’s resistance to flow when an external force is applied. This is dynamic viscosity and the unit of measure for dynamic viscosity is Centipoise (cP).
The maximum viscosity: Assoma pump can handle is 150 cP (due to torque transmission through the magnets)
The other way is to measure the resistive flow of a fluid under the weight of gravity. The result is kinematic viscosity. So kinematic viscosity is the measure of a fluid’s inherent resistance to flow when no external force, except gravity, is acting on it. The unit of measure of kinematic viscosity is Centistokes (cSt).
Crest can handle is 300 cp (under certain circumstances higher values may be tolerated) Viscosity Comparison (centipoise @ 20 degrees C) Methanol Water Milk Blood Anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) Olive oil Motor Oil – SAE20 Motor Oil – SAE40 Castor Oil Glycerin Honey Treacle
A basic difference between the dynamic and kinematic viscosity measurements is density. Density actually provides a way to convert between a kinematic and a dynamic viscosity measurement. The formula for the conversion is: Kinematic (cSt) x Density = Dynamic (cP) Dynamic (cP) / Density = Kinematic (cSt) Density is the ratio of the mass (or weight) of the sample divided by the volume of the sample. Think about an 1cm3 ice cube and a 1cm3 cube of steel. They may be the same size, but the steel cube weighs more than the ice cube. Therefore, we say that steel has a greater density than ice.

Viscosity Conversion 1 poise = 100 centipoise (cP) Centipoise (cP) = Centistokes (cSt) x S.G. Centistoke (cSt) = Centipoise (cP) / S.G. ■
Kinematic viscosity is used to measure Newtonian liquids, dynamic viscosity for non-Newtonian liquids. In simple terms, a Newtonian fluid’s viscosity remains constant, no matter the amount of shear applied for a constant temperature (e.g. water, alcohol, mineral oil). Non-Newtonian fluids are the opposite of Newtonian fluids. When shear is applied to non-

These are fully hydraulically calculated systems for larger commercial protection.

Before a decision is made it is always beneficial to perform a trial and make sure that the technology meets the requirements. Every facility, plant, site is different, so a good starting point is to request references, success stories with related cost benefit analysis and return on investment commitments. Setting and meeting expectations in the early stages of adoption will give us assurances that we chose the correct technological condition monitoring option. ■

Why are showers still ‘pumping’ in the UK? this, many householders remain unaware that it is possible to improve water pressure and flow in a home.
Why are showers still ‘pumping’ in the UK?
For those that are aware of water boosting solutions, there is often a general misconception amongst home owners and some installers alike that the UK Water Supply and Fittings Regulations of 1999 prevent you from fitting a pump directly to mains water, however this actually is not the case. In fact, government regulations state that pumped mains water must not exceed 12 litres per minute (l/min.) Given that many households experience a flow much lower than this, in these instances, homes are able to boost their incoming mains water, as long as the pumped water flow does not exceed the limit.
By: Chris Vallance of Salamander Pumps Despite the ever-changing landscape of housing and development in the UK, the shower pump industry is one that has continued to grow over the decades. Currently the total market is estimated to be worth around £30m. But what started this demand, and what are the factors continuing to drive the growth of this market? Here Chris Vallance explains. Rise in demand for perfect pressure
However, it goes without saying that some larger homes, and those with multiple bathrooms and outlets, will require a flow much greater than this 12l/min limit. In these situations, homes can install water storage solutions, which can provide flow and pressure far greater than 12l/min, whilst still conforming to the guidelines.
The demand for shower pumps began to increase significantly from the 1980s, and then really took off into the 90s and noughties – and it continues to grow today. Initially, demand for shower pumps resulted from increasing numbers of holiday makers. As UK residents experienced more foreign holidays and hotel experiences where higher shower pressures were enjoyed, they wanted to replicate this experience back in the comfort of their own homes. Following this, in the 2000s, shower pumps really became a cost-effective alternative to a traditional, concentric, standalone mixer shower. Essentially the cost of a bar mixer, along with a shower pump, was now a cheaper option.
The solution There’s never been as many flow-boosting options on the market – whether for increasing pressure in just the shower or for boosting water to the whole house including the shower, bathrooms and appliances. Furthermore, there are options available for both gravity-fed and mains-fed systems.
In recent years, the trend for second and third bathrooms has put more demand on plumbing systems, coupled with a buoyant housing market and the introduction of statement, large, impactful shower heads. As a result, over the past few years, the shower pump market has been growing at around 4.0% per annum.
The causes of low water pressure in a home will vary depending on the plumbing system that the house has. In gravity-fed systems, water pressure is usually low due to limitations by the available head of pressure from the coldwater tank. This pressure problem can be alleviated through a range of gravity-fed solutions, boosting shower and tap pressure throughout the house. These products come in a range of specifications, depending on the required bar rating (pressure rating), and whether the installation is a positive head or negative head situation. However, there are new products on the market which are designed to make this process a lot simpler, by working in any gravity-fed installation. These shower pumps are universal (making it suitable for both positive and negative head situations), and feature a variable bar rating, meaning it can alternate between 1.5 bar, 2.0 bar or 3.0 bar, with just the touch of a button.
It’s important to note that shower pumps work ostensibly off gravity-fed plumbing systems, and while a householder may look to upgrade their bathroom, they are unlikely to change the plumbing system at the same time – UK consumers only really change their plumbing system when the boiler packs up. In fact, research has shown that almost a third of adults in the UK are planning a partial or full bathroom refurbishment in the next 12 months1. That’s more than 17 million refurbs in the next year alone! These refurbishments, more often than not, mean increasing the size and features of an en-suite, which unsurprisingly can place a lot of strain on existing gravity-fed systems. This is where a shower pump could be the perfect solution to poor shower performance.
For houses with mains-fed combi boilers or an unvented cylinder, it’s common for water pressure to fluctuate during the day. In peak times before and after work, often the whole street will see a drop in water pressure as the demand from residents increases. The pressure will then increase again during the day and especially overnight, while most residents are asleep and there is less demand. Even the best mains-fed system in the world is only as good as the incoming flow and pressure.
Many of the refurbishments will require a new shower, bathroom, or whole house pump to enable a good, stable shower performance, or a speedy bath fill. And when you consider that 60%2 of these new fit outs will use a tradesman – it’s important to understand exactly what shower pumps can bring to the table. Pressure problems are a UK-wide issue
Thankfully, there are a number of solutions for boosting pressure in mains-fed or unvented plumbing systems,
New bathrooms aside, low water pressure in a home is a widespread issue in the UK – 40%3 of the UK reports that poor water pressure has an impact on their daily lives. Yet despite

Te c h n i c a l B r i e f i n g – H e a d v P r e s s u r e have made their calculation, particularly with liquids with a higher SG.
Technical Briefing – Head v Pressure
Worked Example
By: Tony Dashwood of Crest Pumps Ltd
Say that we need to pump Sulphuric Acid with an SG of 1.25 to a storage tank 30 metres above the pump at a flow rate of 20 m3/hr. The discharge pipework has a series of elbows and valves resulting in friction loss of 1.25 m for water. We will not go over the specific calculation for friction loss here but please refer to our other Technical Briefings if you need more information.
A History Lesson: Around 400 years BC the Greek Philosopher Aristotle proposed a theory that, if dropped from the same height, a 10 kg rock would fall twice as fast as a 5 kg rock or, indeed, 10 times faster than a 1 kg rock. Seems logical? Well, he had no real way of proving his theory but some 2,000 years later (in 1589) Galileo strove to disprove the theory and carried two objects of differing weights to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa (almost 200 ft high) and dropped them to find that both objects struck the ground at the same time. Thus, disproving Aristotle and, more importantly, proving that gravity is a constant force not related in any way to the mass of an object. Galileo continued experimenting and went on to prove that the acceleration of gravity is also a constant at 9.8m/sec².
So, the head required is: Total Head = Static head (30m) + Pipework Losses (1.25m) = 31.25m We have already determined that: Pressure = Head (31.25) x SG (1.25) = 39.06 But what units is this in? Well, 1 bar = 10.2m so 39.06 / 10.2 = 3.83 bar pressure required. To read from the pump curve we need to convert back to Head in metres so if a customer quotes that he needs a certain pressure from the pump we need to know the SG of the liquid. In this case we know it is 1.25 so: Head = Pressure (3.83) x 10.2 / SG (1.25) = 31.25 m To read from the pump curve we take a flowrate of 20m3/hr and read up to 31.25m to determine the impeller size, then read down to the power curve to find the absorbed power at the duty point. Remembering that Galileo exerted more force to carry his cannon ball up to the top of the tower, we then need to multiply the power absorbed by the SG. NB All pump manufacturers performance curves are for clean cold water simply because it is impossible to produce curves covering all the possible liquids with their individual Specific Gravities. ■ For further info, Email: info@crestpumps.co.uk. Telephone:+ 44 [0] 1425 627700
In Practice So how does that help us in selecting pumps? Well, it naturally follows that if gravity is a constant then elevating an object against gravity must also be a constant when lifting 1 litre of water to 10 metres, or 1 litre of sulphuric acid or, indeed a litre of mercury. So, when a pump performance curve is marked in metres (or feet) head then that applies to all liquids, regardless of their density. However, when pressure in the form of psi (pounds per square inch) or bar, etc. is discussed then this factor includes the density (Specific Gravity) of the liquid in the equation:
Why are showers still ‘pumping’ in the UK? continued from page 40
including both inline pumps and accumulator tanks. Inline pumps attach directly to the existing mains water supply and can increase water pressure and flow to up to 12 l/m, in line with regulations. Meanwhile, accumulator tanks store mains cold water at pressure, before releasing the water into the system when an outlet is opened. These tanks are available in a number of sizes, and in both pumped and unpumped models, offering a solution for any home with a combination boiler or unvented cylinder system.
Pressure = Head x Density (SG) Going back to Galileo, think about him carry two objects, say a cannon ball and a musket ball, to the top of the tower. Did it take the same effort to carry the musket ball as it did the cannon ball? Obviously not, so it follows that density has a lot to do with the effort required which means that in fluid handling it will take more power to lift Sodium Hydroxide (SG: 1.5) than it does to elevate water (SG:1), precisely; if it takes 2kW to lift water then it will take 3kW (2kW x 1.5) to lift Sodium Hydroxide to the same height. Reading Pump Curves Every pump manufacturer worldwide produces performance curve reading in metres (or feet) head because it is impossible to know all the possible parameters for every liquid, or combination of liquids, so we need to convert all readings back to head, not pressure. So, as we have determined that: Pressure = Head x SG Then:
Head = Pressure / SG

The importance of drives and motors on the “Routemap to Net Zero” Water is the UK’s fourth most energy intensive industry, and the vast majority of this energy used is in the form of electricity. A high proportion of that electricity is used to power the electric motors that drive the countless pumps used throughout the network. Given the sheer number of pumps used within the water industry, there is plenty of scope to make efficiency improvements in this area, and even a small improvement in efficiency can add up to a large cumulative total when extrapolated across the water supply and wastewater network. A variable speed drive (VSD) is a technology that is ready-to-use right now and can help to immediately reduce the energy usage of pumping applications by up to half. However, despite the clear energy saving benefits, VSDs are not always widely used, or not used to their full potential. Meanwhile, advances in electric motor technology are delivering huge efficiency gains, with new IE5 motors coming onto the market that use just half the energy of an equivalent IE2 motor from a decade ago.
The importance of drives and motors on the “Routemap to Net Zero” By Clayton Mead of ABB Ltd Pump manufacturers and pump system suppliers play a critical role in the resilience and efficiency of water treatment processes, and as such are key players in the water industry’s ambitious plan to deliver a Net Zero supply by 2030. The sheer number of pumping applications throughout industry makes them prime candidates for improvements in energy efficiency, helping to make rapid early gains in the drive towards Net Zero.
Within the context of the Net Zero 2030 Routemap, VSDs and high efficiency motors can be leveraged in two ways, both of which can deliver rapid results. Firstly, they can dramatically improve the energy efficiency of pump systems and other motor-driven processes and assets. Pumps are a variable torque application in most cases, which means that, due to the Cube Law, any reduction in speed results in a proportionally higher reduction in energy usage. In practice, this means that running a pump at 80 percent speed uses only half the energy that it would require at full power. Many pumps do not need to be run at full speed all the time. Running each pump in a facility with variable speed control can therefore result in vast combined savings for only a comparatively modest outlay. Indeed, the energy savings delivered over several years will often not only recoup the upfront cost of the drive but pay for it several times over.
The water industry’s Net Zero 2030 Routemap is unprecedented in its scope, and as the world’s first sector-wide commitment of its kind, deserves high praise. However, it is of little substance if it is not acted upon. It requires behavioural, organisational, environmental and technological change at a rapid pace, encompassing almost all activities, operations and processes throughout industry. Turning the plan into action will not be easy, and requires a combination of small, marginal gains alongside bigger picture projects to reduce emissions and improve sustainability. The Routemap outlines three pathways towards decarbonisation: Demand led pathway: Focuses on managing demand for water and wastewater services. Technology led pathway: Focuses on accelerating technological innovations in the most emissions-intensive areas. Removals led pathway: Focuses on accelerating naturebased solutions that increase carbon sequestration. To achieve the ambitious target of Net Zero by 2030, significant progress must be made against all three pathways. Renewable energy, low emission vehicles and processes, conservation and reducing leakage, as well as countless other measures, will all play a part. Some elements may even require technologies and innovations that do not yet currently exist. However, there are plenty of areas in which quick wins are very much achievable using well-established technologies. Pump applications are one of them.
Secondly, VSDs can reduce leaks and conserve water. Pressure is the main culprit in causing leaks, and a VSD can help prevent many of them from occurring in the first place. For instance, many pumping stations are set to operate on a program that runs the pumps at a steady, high speed until the pressure gets up to the desired level. The pumps will then turn off and turn on again once the pressure drops. This results in frequent starting and stopping, which in turn leads to more

non-return valve operations being activated, leading to pressure transients that can cause pipes and joints to crack. Furthermore, pumps are often oversized, with selection based on a worst-case scenario. By reducing the pressure, and controlling pump operation more smoothly, this spreads flow evenly, reduces the risk of high flow rates causing damage to pipes, and saves energy. The road to Net Zero is long, its scope is ambitious, and with a limited amount of time in which to achieve it the clock is already ticking. Modern motor and VSD technology represents a quick and easy win that can make a big impact on energy efficiency and leakage reduction for pump systems almost overnight. Clearly this is but one step on the overall Routemap, but by taking on the easy wins now, water companies, in collaboration with pump manufacturers and system suppliers, can help to lay the foundations for the bigger picture projects and initiatives to come in the future. To sum up, why wait until 2030 when VSD technology can help to make a real difference today? ■ For further info, Email: layla.hewitt@gb.abb.com Telephone : 01925 741517

Covering all industrial sectors, AESSEAL® operates from 230 locations in 104 countries including 9 manufacturing and 58 repair locations, and has more than 300 customer service representatives who visit industrial plants every day. AESSEAL® aim to exceed all customer expectations in delivery, quality, reliability and service. • Mechanical Seals from AESSEAL® are used in a wide range of pumps and rotating equipment worldwide to prevent liquids and gases escaping into the environment. • Over 7% of annual sales revenue has been reinvested in R&D over several decades, resulting in some of the most advanced sealing technology available today including modular design to ensure the best on-time delivery performance in the industry • AESSEAL® customers save billions of litres of water each year, significantly reducing costs and water waste. • As part of a seal management program, AESSEAL® provide a ‘no-work, no-pay’ warranty and a guaranteed 48-hour shipment of standard products.
ABB offers the world’s widest selection of motors, generators and variable speed drives. • Motors range from 0.06 kW to over 60 MW. They are available in low and medium voltage, in aluminum and cast iron frames, as well as with enclosures for hazardous areas. NEMA motors include general purpose (1/8 to 400 hp), severe duty (1 to 400 hp) and explosion proof (1/4 to 300 hp). A range of motors, rated from 0.37 kW to 1000 kW, are specifically designed to meet the UK’s Water Industry Mechanical and Electrical Specification (WIMES). • Drives range from 0.12 kW to 80 MW. The ABB drive for water and wastewater, rated from 0.37 kW to 500 kW, features built-in control functions including soft pipe filling, pump auto change, redundancy, pump protection, flow calculation, multi-pump control, pump priority, sleep-boost, level control and pump cleaning. The ABB industrial drives, rated from 0.55 kW to 5,600 kW eliminate the need for an external PLC, save energy and reduce downtime. • ABB is leading the way with the highly energy-efficient synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) and drive package. The package includes a matched motor and drive with dedicated software and offers smooth, efficient process control and optimal use of energy. Today the SynRM motor now meets the new IE5 ultra-premium energy efficiency class, defined by the IEC. The motor offers up to 50% lower energy losses and significantly lower energy consumption than the commonly used IE2 induction motors. The package offers a more efficient, quieter and easy to maintain combination than traditional motors and drives; and at the same price point. There are very few reasons why you would avoid the SynRM as the solution to your next pump system installation. • Now the same technology has been adapted for remote monitoring of pumps. The ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor for pumps monitors pump temperature, vibration and bearing condition – using data analytics – to prevent clogging and other issues in water applications. Using on-board algorithms, the smart sensors relay information about the motor or pump health, via a smartphone and over the internet to a secure server. • ABB can meet requirements of international standards from around the world. All the company’s factories are certified to ISO 14001 for environmental management.

Flotronic enjoys an enviable international reputation for the unique ‘ONE-NUT’ air-operated doublediaphragm design. The concept allows rapid disassembly for maintenance and parts replacement, significantly reducing process downtime and vastly reducing maintenance costs, without compromising pump performance. Cleaning couldn’t be easier and the benefits are clear; reduce down time and cleaning costs, maintaining sanitary levels on site and prevent wastage with less ‘hold-up’ of product. Flotronic ‘H’ Series and ‘E’ Series offer exceptional benefits to the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries and any environment where avoidance of product contamination is paramount. Pumps are FDA approved and manufactured to the specific license requirements of 3-A SSI and EHEDG. Minichem pumps are representative of the company’s appetite for innovation. The Minichem is machined from one solid block of PTFE, removing the need for separate manifolds. High pump integrity, improved durability and the ‘ONE-NUT’ concept combine to make this pump ideal for the chemical, pharmaceutical and similar industries, pilot plants and as an emergency pump for hazardous chemical recovery. Our barrel unloading pumps combine the unique “one nut” hygienic / sanitary style FDA approved double diaphragm pumps with a barrel unloading skid. Minimal wastage is achieved with our inflatable seal which ensures only minor residue is retained in the barrel. Our pumps can be used in almost any application, from pumping aggressive chemicals to transferring foodstuffs whilst providing constant liquid feeds. They are able to transfer thin or viscous liquids, adhesives, cosmetics, drinks, dyes, paints, pharmaceuticals, solvents, slurry and water. Any pump in the Flotronic range can be made ATEX-compliant and the company’s ISO9001 certification recognises our commitment to high quality process management.

Salamander Pumps is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of water boosting solutions. Innovation is used throughout the company to deliver high quality products and outstanding customer service at every step of the journey. We have completely overhauled our product range, taking feedback from installers and householders, and using some cutting-edge technologies to make our products some of the quietest, most compact and most reliable product solutions on the market. With a range suitable for gravity-fed or mains-fed systems. Salamander Pumps’ EVE, CT and Right Pump ranges offer a pump solution for gravity-fed installations, available in positive head or universal, and in twin or single ended variants. EVE is a twin, universal pump. Its brushless, variable speed motor allows the pump to be set to 1.5, 2.0 or 3.0 bar pressure, and means it will maintain pressure at increased flow rates. Our inline mains booster pumps are an ideal solution in properties that have poor mains flow where a quiet and compact solution is needed. CombiBoost will boost mains flow to 10 litres per minute and HomeBoost will boost mains flow up to the legally allowed limit of 12 litres per minute. The AccuBoost accumulator range, available in pumped and unpumped models, delivers higher flow rates in mains-fed properties. Suitable for use with a combi boiler or an unvented system.
As a market leader, Saniflo is best known for its range of domestic macerators and pumps that enable extra facilities to be installed when gravity drainage isn’t feasible. Waste is reduced to a liquid form and discharged through small-bore pipework to a soil stack or sewer. Our History Saniflo is the original inventor of the macerator; a pump that can take waste water away from toilets, basins, showers and a wide range of other appliances and can be used in a variety of domestic and commercial applications Our Products Saniflo produces a comprehensive range of domestic and commercial macerators and pumps because no two jobs are the same. Ease of installation is a hallmark of every Saniflo product, whilst support comes in the form of the unique network of almost 100 approved Saniflo engineers around the country who are available for advising, servicing, maintenance and aftercare.

Eurofins E&E CML Limited (CML) was established as Certification Management Limited in June 2013. Offering a complete range of compliance services, we are a UK Approved Body (No 2503) for “Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres” Regulations 2016 (SI 2016:1107 (as amended)). CML B.V. a subsidiary of Eurofins E&E CML Limited, is an EU Notified Body (No 2776) for European Union Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX). It is supported by its RvA Accreditation (No C640) to ISO/IEC 17065. Our full scope of ATEX notification can be found on the EU Nando Website. We are supported by our UKAS accreditation (No 8175) to ISO/IEC 17025, ISO/IEC 17021-1 and ISO/IEC 17065 and our full scope of accreditation allows us to conduct all Notified Body activities under this legislation. We are also an IECEx Certification Body (ExCB) and Test Laboratory (ExTL) with the full scope of standards, leading the world in annual numbers of issued IECEx certificates.

Fluid Performance Solutions Limited (FPS) delivers Standard Pump Energy Auditing and Performance Optimization into the Water and Waste Water Industry throughout the UK. FPS conducts Energy Auditing to ISO 14414, an industry standard for independently auditing pumping stations specifically introduced to comply with legislation. Establishing pumping efficiencies and understanding the pipe system gives the best opportunities to optimise the pumping stations and helps to develop recommendations for high maintenance and energy usage stations where costs are significant. Understanding energy usage is sometimes very difficult but with the right equipment and data analysis, energy consumption can be quantified and used to monitor pumping performance. Identifying failures before pumps trip and become damaged beyond repair is critical to reducing unplanned maintenance costs. FPS delivers a cost effective solution to enhance pumping station performance and reduce life cycle costs.
IDEA was originally formed to offer to trade associations a service of collecting and publishing their member information thus promoting themselves and the services they offer. This was done in a variety of formats: • Printed directories • E-Newsletters • Web sites • Electronic catalogues on CD Rom Our aim was always to produce well designed publications which are effective, accurate and excellent value for money. Today, almost all of our work is in printed directories. Over the years, we have worked for organisations as diverse as: • British Footwear Association • Manufacturing Technologies Association • British Materials Handling Federation • National Access & Scaffolding Confederation • British Pump Manufacturers Association • Stone Federation Great Britain • Construction Equipment Association Because of IDEA’s concentration on trade association communication, it is able to offer an effective service which is designed to fulfill the specific requirements of trade associations. IDEA will do everything from the initial conception, obtaining information from member companies, collating it and ensuring that it is presented in the terminology that is common usage within industry. These services are designed to complement those of a trade association; associations may pick what they require to be done and do themselves that which fits within their own organisation. Publications can be financed in a number of different ways and IDEA has considerable experience in such schemes. Above all, IDEA publications are intended to be effective and user friendly, they can be multilingual and are designed with the requirements of the user in mind, not from the basis of using the latest tricks and gimmicks.

MEET THE BPMA TRAINERS ALEX YATES PRINCIPAL LECTURER Alex has been the principal presenter of the BPMA lecture-based courses including the Certified Pump Systems auditor (CPSA) initiative for several years. Alex has worked in the field of roto-dynamic performance assessments for over 30 years and has worked in multiple industries, including water utilities, power generation, metal processing, automotive, aerospace/defence and petrochemical. Alex has also worked on some of the largest pumps in operation, with the largest assessed of 72MW.
Over recent years, Alex has started to specialise on optimising and designing integrated pumping systems for multi-system cooling tower networks. Alex’s knowledge and his work in the field leave him ideally placed to deliver these courses, bringing in a practical understanding from reviewing and working on over 12,000 pump and system assessments. “Our investigations have highlighted that most engineering courses today devote very little of their time to pumps or system hydraulics, hence those students coming out of college or university and entering a career in pumping have a gap in their knowledge, and this is where our pumping technology courses come into their own.”
Over this time, he has assessed pumps, blowers and hydro turbines throughout the world. He now specialises in the assessment of the pump performance and the interaction of multiple unit operations both for series and parallel systems.
